Scattered just 450km off the coast of West Africa, the Cape Verde archipelago shares the same latitude as Barbados, making it a sun-soaked utopia throughout the year. Paradise is closer than you might think. Stepping on a plane in London, visitors bound for Boa Vista can find themselves walking barefoot on one of the world's finest beaches at Santa Mónica less than 6 hours later.
This, along with miles upon miles of dazzling white sand beaches, is why Cape Verde is known to some as 'The Caribbean for Europeans'.
The low season? Well, there isn't one. Perhaps its biggest advantage over other tropical destinations is that Cape Verde does not suffer from a rainy season. Temperatures averaging 26°C, long hours of sunshine and consistently warm, swimmable seas, bless the islands with an ideal all-year-round holiday climate. This, in turn, leads to exceptionally high occupancy rates and strong rental yields that are difficult to match anywhere else in the world.
Commonly referred to as the 'European Caribbean' for its gorgeous tropical setting yet short flight from Europe (just 5½ hours from London), Cape Verde shares the same latitude as Barbados, making it a sun-soaked utopia at all times of the year.
