The Barlavento Islands / Sal Island region
A charming island nation off the African west coast. Cape Verde is great for holidays in the sun. Beautiful white sand beaches and clear blue waters awaits you on Boa Vista, Sal and other stunning Cape Verde islands.
Sailing, windsurfing, kite-surfing and fishing are some enjoyable activities available to visitors to Cape Verde.
Scuba divers will be enthralled by Cape Verde’s wrecks, caves and wildlife including sea turtles and manta rays.
There are many places of interest including the Fortaleza del Real Felipe, built in the 16th century, which is a restored Spanish fort overlooking Santiago’s Cidade Velha. Grand Mount Fogo, Cape Verde’s tallest peak, offers intrepid climbers amazing panoramic views from its summit. Unspoilt Brava, smallest of the islands, contains an incredible wealth of diverse wildlife in its expansive forests.
Enjoy Cape Verde’s vibrant and mixed culture in live performances of local morna, coladeira, funana and batuque music. With the unique blend of Latin, Afican and Portugese influences, this is a very exotic and vibrant place to be. The true examplar of this is the Mardi Gras which is celebrated in a lively carnival in Sao Vincente town Mindelo with live music and colourful parades.
The Santa Maria, Sal Island / Tortuga Beach area
If lounging on balmy tropical beaches is your thing, Sal delivers big time. The most tourist-oriented Cape Verde island, this stunning gem is encircled by dazzling white sands and turquoise waters, creating an idyllic playground for sun and surf fanatics. There's a myriad of ocean-going pursuits to enjoy, from snorkelling and diving amid waters alive with tropical fish, to exhilarating deep-sea fishing, windsurfing and kite-surfing. You must go to Kite beach, if not to participate, it is still a great place for the spectator.
The main hotspot of Santa Maria has friendly cafes, bars, surf shops and restaurants and for more adventure, take a jeep safari through the surreal desert landscape to wow at the volcanic crater of Pedra da Lume and the astonishing ocean-mirage at Terra Boa. By night, Santa Maria swings into action, with a cavalcade of morna-playing bars, mouth-watering fish restaurants and a cluster of discos to keep you up late.
You really feel safe and relaxed here. The locals are charming, shy and very friendly and they go out of their way to help.
Try Azul Restaurant at the Porto Antigo or Tam Tam for lunch and Zum Fisherman Restaurant is a must for sea food lovers.
