Cape Verde

Cape Verde Islands – diversity under the sun

Escape winter, warm your soul and discover island diversity: holidays in Cape Verde are a real treat for the senses. On the archipelago off West Africa, the sun shines almost every day, the wind blows across the sand dunes, and the attitude to life is as light as Creole music. Nine inhabited islands invite you to explore, each with its own unique rhythm. The mix of African, Portuguese and Brazilian influences shapes everyday life, cuisine and culture. Whether strolling by the sea, dancing capoeira in the capital or enjoying a cafézinho in a pretty café, Cape Verde touches the soul. Those seeking warmth, space and authenticity are sure to find it here.

Sal

Sal Island owes its name to the salt industry that flourished here between the 18th and the mid-twentieth century. With its beautiful white sand beaches, pleasantly warm waters and beautiful coral reefs, it offers unique conditions for divers, snorkelers and all surfers.

Despite its volcanic origin, the island is flat and resembles the surface of the moon. It has a warm, tropical dry climate. Besides the paradisiacal beaches, excursions to Murdeira Bay, Rabo de Junco, Joaquim Petinha Bay, Buracona, Ponta Preta as well as the Cave of Love (Gruta do Amor) are worthwhile.

São Vicente

If you want to escape the winter, São Vicente is the perfect hideaway. Less well-known than Sal or Boa Vista, but just as diverse: with volcanic trails, wind and waves, underwater worlds and a capital that is home to music and joie de vivre.
In Mindelo, colonial facades meet creative energy, in the footsteps of Cesaria Evora and the feeling of saudade. São Vicente is ideal for anyone who is looking for the real thing and likes to get a little closer to things.
