Cape Verde, Cape Verde

The Cape Verde Islands

Located off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is an archipelago of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean, known for year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, and a relaxed atmosphere. With convenient flight connections from Lisbon, it’s an easy and appealing getaway. Still relatively unspoiled, the islands offer an authentic, off-the-beaten-path feel, combined with modern comfort and warm hospitality.

Sal Island

Sal is the most popular and lively island in Cape Verde, famous for its long sandy beaches and unique, almost lunar landscapes. The charming town of Santa Maria is full of character, with surf shops, traditional restaurants, beach bars, and cosy cafés that create a relaxed holiday vibe.

The island’s impressive eight-kilometre-long beach is ideal for water sports or simply soaking up the sun. As the day comes to an end, Sal offers unforgettable sunsets over the Atlantic, making evenings especially magical.

On Sal, guests can stay at Hotel RIU Funana or the more luxurious RIU Palace Santa Maria, both offering all-inclusive comfort and direct beach access.

Boa Vista Island

For those seeking tranquility and wide open spaces, Boa Vista is the perfect choice. Known for its untouched nature, sand dunes, and seemingly endless beaches, the island offers a more peaceful and exclusive atmosphere — ideal for relaxation.

Boa Vista is home to Hotel RIU Karamboa, Hotel RIUTouareg, and RIU Palace Boa Vista, all designed to blend comfort with the island’s natural beauty. These resorts are especially popular with families and couples looking for space, privacy, and high-quality all-inclusive experiences.

A cultural melting pot

Across Cape Verde, you’ll find a fascinating mix of African, Brazilian, and Portuguese influences, reflected in the music, traditions, and especially the local cuisine. Thanks to TUI’s strong presence on the islands, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing that every detail of your holiday is taken care of — leaving you free to enjoy the sun, the sea, and Cape Verde’s unforgettable sunsets.
