Luxury holidays to Cape Verde

A relative newcomer to the travel scene, Cape Verde hits the mark when it comes to luxury holidays. A collection of 10 islands 400 miles off the coast of West Africa, Cape Verde is all about the beaches, the crystal-clear water and the heady mix of European and African cultures.

Luxury Cape Verde Hotels and Resorts

Head to the luxurious 5-star Melia Dunas hotel on the popular island of Sal. This new hotel was welcomed onto the scene by a host of celebrities, including Katie Price and Kerrie Katona, and oozes luxury. It’s huge — it takes 15 minutes to walk from one side to the other — and faces the white sand of Algodoeiro Beach. It boasts an adults-only pool, a fully-equipped gym and four restaurants.

Things to do on Cape Verde Highlights

See the island of Sal from a different perspective on a three-hour cruise on the Sea Turtle catamaran from Santa Maria. You’ll sail past the rocky promontory of Monte Leao and drop anchor for a dip in the sea in the beautiful cove of Murdeira. Enjoy Cape Verde’s salsa-inspired morabeza music in the evening at one of the bars in pretty Santa Maria.
