Cape Verde Holidays 2025/2026
Drifting 500 kilometres off the shore of Senegal, the Atlantic islands of Cape Verde have been called the African Caribbean. They're still rather new to the holiday circuit, however with their out-of-this-world beaches as well as vibrant surf, they're quickly going far for themselves.
Sal
Cape Verde's most well-liked island is multicultural Sal, which is recognized for its striking, lunar-like landscape. It's populated with colourful, cobbled towns, like Santa Maria on the southern coasts, where you'll find surf stores, conventional restaurants and also a pretty square lined with al fresco cafés. The main
attraction, however, is the coastline, which stretches along the shore for 8 kilometres.
Boa Vista
You'll find plenty much more beaches over on Boa Vista, which translates as 'beautiful view'. The sands here halo the coast for 55 kilometres as well as easily competing those you would locate in the Caribbean. Praia Chave deserves a special reference, thanks to its snow-white swathes as well as shape-shifting dunes.
Whichever island you choose, expect a thawing pot of societies. The Portuguese originally found Cape Verde, so there's a mixture of African, Brazilian and Portuguese influences. You'll see it in the island's music, style and also-- possibly most clearly-- the meals.
