Just a short six-hour flight away from the UK, this tropical paradise is a perfect getaway for those yearning for some winter sun.

With pleasant temperatures consistently above 21°C, it’s an inviting spot for holidaymakers.

Each of this country’s ten islands boasts its own unique charm, making every visit a new adventure – from idyllic beaches to breathtaking mountainous landscapes, this location is ideal for explorers.

The ten islands that make up Cape Verde offer abundant sunshine throughout the year, making it an ideal retreat for those wanting to escape the cold.

Each island has its own distinct atmosphere, providing a variety of experiences for visitors, with plenty of pristine beaches everywhere boasting white sand and shimmering turquoise waters.

While Cape Verde can be enjoyed at any time, it’s worth noting that the rainy season occurs from July to October.

In November, the average daily maximum temperature reaches 29°C, while the minimum hovers around 23°C.

The islands are also dotted with impressive walking trails, thanks to their magnificent mountains and towering volcanoes – with Santo Antão, São Nicolau, and Fogo standing out to most walkers.

Some standout spots include Santa Maria Beach and Ponta Preta on Sal, Praia de Chaves on Boa Vista, and Laginha Beach in Mindelo on São Vicente, with waters that offer fantastic opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts, as sightings of whales, dolphins, and turtles are not uncommon.

In fact, Tripadvisor reviewers emphasised the diversity among the different islands, recommending exploring as many of them as possible.

Rashyroo said: “With 10 islands to explore maybe don’t limit yourself to Sal, if you are able to travel around a bit you will be amazed at the diversity.”
