Cape Verde Islands
Why it's heating up
Tropical islands from the Caribbean to the Pacific are favourites of affluent tourists, but Cape Verde is only now hitting the trendy traveller's radar. This tiny archipelago of islands just off West Africa wants to rebrand itself as an upmarket destination with luxury holiday homes for well-heeled Brits. They're busy expanding the airport and plan to court the major airlines. The islands are quiet, unspoilt and boast dramatic green volcanic scenery, but the consistent warm winds off Africa in the winter months have made it a mecca for windsurfers, ensuring it's a young and funky crowd moving in, rather than just rich, rotund and retired. The island of Sal is known for white sand beaches, Sao Vicente for music and Santo Antao for scenery.


Homes Overseas - May Edition

Featured under the Homes Overseas 'Hot Spots INVESTMENTS'.  The Homes Overseas magazine features Cape Verde across 3 pages.  The magazine gives a background on the islands, but focuses on Sal and Santiago.  The magazine features Sambala Village and Mundi Village as examples of property available.

Very upbeat article quotes 'investors who can afford to take a risk and get in quick, might just make a killing'.

A Place in the Sun Magazine - May Edition

Small article in the readers letters.  They promise a full feature on Cape Verde in thier very next Edition.
