Often called "Africa's answer to the Caribbean", Cape Verde is always sunny and full of things to see and do. Located near Senegal, its lush green islands attract many tourists.


The islands of Sal, Santiago, and Boa Vista are the most popular, with Sal being the top choice.


Sal is famous for its clean white beaches and warm, clear blue waters. It’s home to most of the hotels and fun activities, and visitors love its stunning views and lively towns.

Sal’s 8km coastline is perfect for water sports fans, though if the waves are too strong, relaxing on the beach is always a great option.


Cape Verde is a mix of African, Portuguese, and Brazilian cultures, all wrapped up in a lovely climate that stays between 24°C and 30°C all year round.


If you like adventure, you can also explore the rugged mountains inland, which are perfect for some exciting hiking, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
