Cape Verde is an archipelago of unspoilt castaway islands floating in the Atlantic Ocean. A blend of sweeping scenery, porcelain-white beaches and translucent turquoise seas, these largely undiscovered islands offer a truly unique getaway. It is fast becoming the Caribbean for Europe minus the jet lag.
Marooned off the west coast of Africa, 5.5 hours away from the UK they provide a year round holiday hotspot. Cape Verde’s climate is tropical but dry with very light rains in January through to April and dry from June to November. The climate is very stable without tropical storms with annual averages of 24 degrees Centigrade and one can swim in the ocean all year round. Whether you're seeking blissful relaxation, high adventure or hosts of watersports, there's something here for everyone.
