The Cape Verde Islands are a small archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic consisting of ten islands, just over 900 miles south of the Canary Islands.  With just a 5-6 hour flight from the UK, they are  nearest islands to Europe within the tropics.  The diversity of the landscape is simply stunning; volcanic rock, desert terrain, majestic mountains, pine covered forests and white sand beaches.

Our holidays focus on the small island of Sal as this is the flattest of all the islands with long white sandy beaches and clear crystal waters… and more importantly because the epic Atlantic winds offer up a perfect place for windsurfers and kiters alike. Also, during the year you can witness some amazing international windsurfing and kitesurfing competitions.

The island is an exciting melting pot of cultures due to the mix of African and North European inhabitants. The locals enjoy partying, with festivals being held at every opportunity creating a friendly and lively atmosphere.

For non kiters or windsurfers who’d like to try out other activities, this is the destination for you as we can recommend a wealth of exciting options including hiking, sports fishing, diving and scenic boat touring.
