Famous for its volcanic landscapes and fine sandy beaches, the many islands that make up the archipelago offer plenty of choice – there’s something for everyone ! Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, hiking or sunbathing on the beach, Cape Verde charms visitors with its authenticity, vibrant culture and the warm welcome of its people. Treat yourself to an unforgettable getaway in the heart of a still-unspoilt archipelago !

Cape Verde is an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Senegal.

There are plenty of cheap flights to these islands from France and Portugal, and the cost of living is much lower than in France.

A perfect climate all year round

Located off the coast of West Africa, Cape Verde enjoys exceptional sunshine almost all year round. There is a slightly wetter season (August to September), particularly on the island of Santo Antao, but even during this time of year, there will still be plenty of sunshine and the landscapes will be even more beautiful and lush!

Landscapes that vary greatly from one island to the next

Cape Verde comprises 10 main islands (nine of which are inhabited), each very different from the others! They are divided into two groups: Barlavento (in the north) and Sotavento (in the south). You’ll have to make a choice – you won’t be able to visit them all!

Cape Verde’s main appeal lies in the diversity of its landscapes: white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, impressive volcanoes and lush green valleys. Islands such as Sal and Boa Vista are renowned for their idyllic beaches, perfect for relaxation, whilst Santo Antão attracts hiking enthusiasts with its spectacular terrain.

A warm and authentic culture

As well as its spectacular scenery, Cape Verde charms visitors with its rich, diverse culture. From lively music (the home of Cesaria Evora) and delicious local cuisine (fruit, fish, etc.) to an incredible number of rum distillery: you simply must try the local grogue from Santo Antao!

And of course, with the warm welcome from the locals, every stay becomes a unique human experience.

In short, having so far escaped the clutches of mass tourism, Cape Verde is the perfect destination for an affordable, exotic holiday combining relaxation, adventure and exploration!
