Cape Verdi

Overview

Cape Verde is this year’s most talked about investment location. It’s drawing in more and more tourists every year; developers and investors are making a killing. Until recently no one had even heard of Cape Verde or had any idea where it was.

Cape Verde (The Green Cape)
Cape Verde is a small African country located in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Senegal (Africa). In some respects, it’s similar separated from the continent, alone in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

In terms of climate however, the two couldn’t be more different. Whereas in Ireland, it rains even when it’s sunny (which is never), Cape Verde is blessed with endless blue skies all throughout the year. This, more so than its Atlantic location, is probably the real attraction, along with the beaches and the affordable properties.

Temperatures range from a minimum nighttime average of 19°C in February to a maximum daytime average of 29°C from May to November. Cape Verde is on the same latitude as Barbados and is just a few degrees warmer than the Canaries.

Cape Verde is known for its amazing beaches - endless stretches of fine white sand with clean and clear warm blue waters all year round - a true beach lover’s paradise. It’s a land of fantastic contrasts; from its imposing volcanic peaks and lush green vegetation to its surreal lunar-like desert landscapes.

All the islands are vastly different from each other; each with its own landscape, climate, dialect, character and individual charm.

Sal, Santiago and Boa Vista is where most of the development is taking place at the moment. Sao Nicolau, Maio and Sao Vicente look set to follow.
