The country of the warm ‘Morabeza’ welcome. The archipelago of Cape Verde is formed by ten sun-kissed islands and eight islets.

Santo Antao

A breathtaking island of dormant volcanic mountains, Santo Antao is a sight-seer's nirvana.

Sao Vicente

São Vicente is known as the 'pearl of West Africa' - and for good reason.

Sal

Sal may be one of Cape Verde’s smallest islands but in terms of visitor appeal, it punches way above its weight. In fact, it’s not far away from becoming the proverbail knock-out!

Sao Nicolau

São Nicolau is another picture-postcard Cape Verde island, with a captivating contrast of lush, green tropical vegetation and arid volcanic peaks.

Santiago

If the small island of Sal is the tourism capital of Cape Verde then the largest, Santiago is most definitely its commercial centre.

Santa Luzia

Santa Luzia is an uninhabited Cape Verdian Island. This has been the case since the 80's.

Boa Vista

To this day one can only begin to imagine the joy that a sailor in the midst of a tempestuous Atlantic Ocean swell had when he spotted the glorious island of Boa Vista.

Maio

If you like the 'road less travelled' then Maio, an island of just 268 sq metres and 6,700 people, might just be an essential stop on your tour of the archipelago.

Fogo

Fogo is a dormant volcanic island that rises imperiously out of the Atlantic Ocean to form a stunning synthesis of landscapes.

Brava

The smallest of the populated islands of Cape Verde, also the most tropical and one of the most romantic - Brava remains hidden on the tourist trail but those who have made it there all seem to fall in love with its old-world charm.
