Cape Verde is widely recognised among international developers and travel companies as the new global property and holiday hotspot, and a star investment opportunity.
An enchanting archipelago of ten tropical islands, each with its own individual character and charm, Cape Verde lies in the Atlantic Ocean 450km west of Senegal on the African coast, and 1000km south of the Canary Islands.
The year-round sunshine and a dry, temperate climate of between 22-30ºC is even more consistent than the Canaries. Cape Verde has it all.
It's just five and a half hours by direct flight from the UK, and only one hour behind GMT. So it's not surprising that Cape Verde is fast becoming the Caribbean for Europe - minus the jet lag and hurricanes.
Sal Island – the jewel in the Cape Verde crown
The island of Sal - the most popular destination in the Cape Verde archipelago - is well on its way to becoming one of the world’s top tourist destinations. With regular flights from the UK to Sal’s established international airport, you will be whisked to an Island with
crystal clear seas, endless white beaches, adventurous water sports and great night life.
Just 30km long and 12km wide, Sal is a jewel of a tropical island. The charming town of Santa Maria at its southernmost tip is the main tourist resort, with beachside restaurants, fascinating shops, a lovely town square, and local musicians playing Cape Verdean classics. Other attractions include the town of Espargos with its variety of shops, bars and restaurants, the salt flats of Pedra de Lume and the port town of Palmeria.
Sal is at the very heart of the investment excitement, which surrounds Cape Verde. The government is investing significantly in creating a modern, world class tourist destination. With its good local infrastructure, growing number of scheduled flights, increasingly sophisticated tourist facilities (plans for five star hotels, golf courses and an upmarket marina) major tour operators are already looking for more and more rental stock.
Its unique combination of natural and developmental benefits makes Sal the definitive choice over all its island neighbours – and there’s never been a better time or opportunity to invest.
