Set to become the 'New Caribbean', Cape Verde, on the same latitude as Barbados, is a tropical paradise just 5.5 hours from the UK with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and a year long dry sunny climate averaging 25°C

It has shaken off its history of slave trading and drought, brushed away a struggling economy and now stands independent, socially and politically secure, dazzling, striking and bewitching.

Tourism is expanding by 20 percent a year due to the superb all year weather with virtually no rainfall. Add to that the beautiful white sandy beaches, clear turquoise warm water, breathtaking mountains, social and political stability and negligible crime, and Cape Verde presents a new and exciting country for tourism and investment. The government is firmly behind the new wave of real estate development, and prices starting from just £35,000 for an apartment represent fantastic value for money, with potential for massive capital appreciation, and year long rental returns.

Sal, Boa Vista, Santiago, San Vicente and Maio are being developed for top quality, environmentally sound tourism.

At present Sal is the main island for tourism, with the pretty town of Santa Maria on the south coast. It has a beautiful four and a half mile white sandy beach and is the main tourist town in Cape Verde. Sal is fast becoming a world top destination for wind and kitesurfing, and also board surfing on the break at Ponta Preta, but you can also sail, bird watch, dive, fish for marlin and tuna, golf on some of the superb new planned courses, feast and frolic, or just unwind and chill out in some of the excellent restaurants.

Prestigious new developments such as Vila Verde, just 15 minutes from the international airport in Sal have opened the doors to top quality tourism, and the future now looks extremely bright for the lovely unspoiled islands of Cape Verde.

Cape Verde Property Ltd was the very first company in the UK specialising in marketing Cape Verde property investments, with exclusive developments across a range of islands. The company was formed to fulfil the rapidly growing demand in the UK and Ireland for the purchase of investment, holiday and retirement property in Cape Verde.
