Cape Verde Holidays

Cape Verde holidays offer a stunning blend of culture and pretty, cobbled towns with a spectacular landscape of palm-fringed beaches and mountainous beauty.

Cape Verde is made up of ten islands situated off the coast of West Africa, the most popular of which is Sal, known for its stunning lunar-like landscape. Small colourful towns such as Santa Maria offer an array of traditional restaurants and a lovely town square lined with cafés. The main appeal, however, is the beach, which stretches for over five miles along the coast. From its array of watersports to its charming beachfront bars and restaurants and calm, clear waters, Santa Maria is a great option for families and couples alike.

No matter which Cape Verde island you choose, you can expect an intriguing mix of cultures to complement its stunning beaches and mountainous interior. The intoxicating blend of Portuguese, African and Brazilian influences can be seen in Cape Verde’s music, markets and food. Whilst many are content to just flop on the perfect beaches in search of some winter sun, the variety of the ten volcanic islands that make up the archipelago rewards the intrepid island hopper with a Cape Verde holiday to remember.
