An emerging gem of the Atlantic

Cape Verde, also known as Cabo Verde, is a stunning archipelago located off the west coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. Often overlooked in favour of more traditional travel or investment destinations, Cape Verde offers a unique blend of natural beauty, stable governance, rich culture, and growing opportunities for tourism, business, and residency.

Here’s why Cape Verde is becoming an increasingly attractive choice for travellers and investors:

1. Year-Round Sunshine and Perfect Climate

Cape Verde, our nearest tropical Islands, boasts more than 350 days of sunshine each year. With warm temperatures, gentle ocean breezes, and little rainfall, it’s the ideal location for a sun-soaked holiday at any time of year. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or enjoying a cocktail at our beachfront bar, perfect weather is guaranteed.

2. Unspoiled Beaches and Natural Beauty

The ten islands are home to some of the most stunning beaches in the world; soft golden sands, turquoise waters, and peaceful shorelines with plenty of space to unwind.

From desert landscapes and dormant volcanoes to green valleys and oceanfront dunes, Cape Verde offers nature lovers and photographers a paradise of contrasts, all easily accessible from Tarafo Bay.

3. A Safe and Friendly Destination

Cape Verde is known as one of the safest and most politically stable countries in Africa. With a strong commitment to democracy, human rights, and peace, the country is often praised for its governance and low crime rates. This makes it a safe destination for families, retirees, and solo travellers alike.

4. Warm and Welcoming People

Cape Verdeans are known for their hospitality and friendliness. The culture is a rich blend of African and Portuguese influences, reflected in the music, food, language, and festivals. Creole (Kriolu) is widely spoken, and Portuguese is the official language. Visitors often describe the local atmosphere as relaxed and welcoming.

5. Adventure and Activities at Your Fingertips

Whether you’re craving water sports, island hiking, or boat excursions, Cape Verde offers endless possibilities:

  • Surfing and kitesurfing on world-class beaches
  • Scuba diving and snorkelling in crystal-clear waters
  • Volcano treks and panoramic viewpoints
  • Whale watching and turtle conservation tours

There’s something for every kind of traveller, and Tarafo Bay will soon offer even more, including championship beachfront golf courses, world-class sports facilities and tournaments, plus relaxing spa and wellness experiences.

6. Easy to Reach, Hard to Leave

Situated between Europe, Africa, and the Americas, Cape Verde offers excellent geographic positioning for trade, travel, and connectivity. With direct flights from major cities in Europe, Cape Verde is just a few hours away, making it a convenient tropical escape; and with only a small time change you won’t be jetlagged after your journey!

Cape Verde blends the charm of island living with the opportunities of a growing economy and stable government. Whether you’re seeking a place to relax, retire, invest, or explore, Cape Verde is a destination worth considering.
