DESTINATIONS

Explore Our Featured Islands

Each island in the archipelago has its own character — from powder-soft beaches to volcanic summits and music-filled streets.

Santo Antão

A hiker’s dream of emerald ravines, terraced valleys and misty ridgelines carved by the trade winds.

São Vicente

Home to Mindelo, the cultural heart of the islands, where colourful streets echo with morna and coladeira long into the night.

Sal

Endless white beaches, warm turquoise shallows and the famous salt pans . Sal is the sun-soaked gateway to the archipelago.

Boa Vista

Rolling Saharan-style dunes tumble into a wild Atlantic. Loggerhead turtles nest here and the horizon stretches on forever.

Santiago

The largest, liveliest island — cobbled colonial towns, bustling markets in Praia and the drumbeat of Cabo Verdean culture.

Fogo

Climb the towering Pico do Fogo volcano and taste wine grown in black volcanic soil at its dramatic caldera.
