Top family-friendly destinations in Cape Verde

Sal

Head for Sal for family holidays where the great Atlantic Ocean serves up one adventure after another. Spot lemon sharks beneath the waves, take a tour of the Santa Maria salt ponds or feel the wrath of the winds at Kite Beach. For some manmade magic, wander the bright and buzzing streets of Espargos.

Boa Vista

Boa Vista really does live up to its name (good view in case you’re wondering). Whether you’re sandboarding across the dunes with the kids, carving out some ‘me time’ on Santa Monica Beach or floating above shipwrecks in the Atlantic, you can count on a spectacular backdrop. In other words, your Insta grid is about to get a serious upgrade.

São Vicente

São Vicente is set up for family holiday adventures. Take a 4x4 safari to Monte Verde, hop on a ferry to visit Santo Antão’s traditional towns and whizz your way through watersports on São Pedro’s beaches – all without straying too far from the kids clubs and spas of your all-singing resort.
