WHY GO?
With incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes, this cluster of islands in the Atlantic has so much to offer. Located off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is still relatively unknown in the mainstream holiday market. Yet the archipelago boasts a year-long average temperature of 26C with very little rainfall, long stretches of beautiful, unspoilt beaches and turquoise waters. It’s the ultimate sunseekers’ getaway without – hurrah – the long-haul flight. The best-known of the islands, Sal, has a vibrant Creole PortugueseAfrican culture and should be high up on your list of places to visit.
BEACHFRONT STAY
Tui offers packages at Hotel Riu Palace Santa Maria, which has a prime beachfront spot and is just 16km from Sal Airport. Rooms are modern and spacious, and all have a balcony or terrace.
