Cape Verde hotels

Mindelo on the island of Sao Vincente is the intellectual and cultural capital of the archipelago and the place to seek out live music amongst the ubiquitous international pop music. Sao Vincente does not get a lot of rainfall and the countryside is not as green and attractive as some of the other islands so consider booking a city centre hotel such as the Casa Colonial Mindelo through KAYAK to experience the buzz of Mindelo nightlife and appreciate the simple elegance of nineteenth-century Portuguese architecture, or take a look at Kira’s Boutique Hotel near the powder-white sands of Mindelo Beach.

Yes, each island even has its own distinctive weather! Some islands are windier, cooler and drier than others, especially in winter. The Leeward Islands to the south of the archipelago are warmer and wetter giving a more tropical landscape. Brava Island is especially green and fertile, covered in lush tropical fruit trees and colourful flowering shrubs – perfect for hiking. The Hotel Cruz Grande-Brava in the capital, Nova Sintra can be booked through KAYAK.

Yes, you can. You will almost certainly fly into the island of Sal, and it is perfectly possible to avoid internal flights by spending your holiday on that island. Book a hotel such as Casa Blu on Sal Island and you’ll be less than 15min on foot from the fabulous Santa Maria beach: you’ll be swimming, surfing and even game fishing during the day, and eating fresh seafood and Portuguese cakes and pastries in the evening.
