Why visit Cape Verde?

Beach bliss

From soft sands perfect for sunbathing to rugged volcanic shores that bring the drama, Cape Verde’s islands each have a unique beach vibe. Choose Boa Vista for golden dunes, Sal to snorkel in vibrant coral reefs or retreat to Maio for quiet, untouched shores.

Captivating culture

Cape Verde’s Afro-Portuguese culture comes alive through its music, food and festivals. The islands hum with life, making them a standout choice for a last-minute holiday full of flavour and rhythm. Catch soulful morna in Mindelo’s buzzing bars, tuck into freshly grilled seafood with a Creole kick or dance through colourful carnival parades.

Dramatic landscapes

Adventurous souls will love a spontaneous getaway to Cape Verde – the islands deliver scenery as breathtaking as it is diverse. Trekking through Santo Antao’s lush mountain paths, climbing Fogo’s towering volcano or visiting Sal’s surreal salt flats are just some of its best outdoor activities.

Watersports galore

Prefer to get out on the water? Cape Verde’s coastline is a playground for watersports enthusiasts. Sal and Boa Vista are favourites for kitesurfing, and you can splash in clear seas and paddleboard around calm bays almost anywhere.

When to go to Cape Verde?

Cape Verde’s year-round sunshine makes it a top pick for an affordable last-minute trip. Temperatures stay warm, even in winter, when highs hover around 25C. For the best last-minute deals, fewer crowds, and the same stunning beaches and landscapes, visit in spring or autumn. Midweek flights can cut costs even further.
