Cape Verde

A sunny archipelago off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is an attractive destination for those seeking year-round temperatures of a toasty 24C to 30C.

Consisting of 10 small islands, we can search the market to find you your own corner of paradise in Cape Verde; from fantastic beaches to luxury hotels. If you're tempted to visit, we'd advise avoiding the months of July to September as rainfall is more likely during this period - any other destination questions you have, we'd be happy to answer them for you!

For the nature-lovers Boa Vista is a favourite for spotting humpback whales off the shores, whilst its beaches are a nesting place for gorgeous loggerhead turtles. Should you crave a jolt of adrenaline, quad bike safaris and 4x4 rentals are available for exploring the dunes of the Viana Desert.

One of Cape Verde's larger islands, Boa Vista tempts in travellers with its creamy sands, humming atmosphere and amazing food crafted by authentic restaurants with local ingredients. Also a place to see a shipwreck without any dive gear, the Cabo Santa Maria cargo ship has rested just off the shores of Boa Vista for over 50 years and has become both a symbol of the region, and a staple for holiday photos!

Watersports enthusiasts will probably have heard that Santa Maria Beach in Sal is regarded as one of the world's top 5 beaches for surfing! You can also paddle with gentle wild lemon sharks which glide through the waters of Shark Bay, truly a fantastic holiday photo opportunity. Sal is also known for its salt production which ceased trading in the 1980's, leaving fascinating antique machinery and tempting mineral-rich pools you can soak in. Home to colourful architecture brimming with history, morning walks are a dream through the popular region of Santa Maria.
