With 10 very different volcanic islands in the Cape Verde archipelago, there’s an option for everyone – including families. With gorgeous sandy beaches and year-round sun offering temperatures around 25-30C, it’s ideal for adults and children alike. Located 350 miles off West Africa in the eastern Atlantic, Cape Verde is an ideal winter sun destination, and Sal and its quieter neighbour Boa Vista islands are overall the best choice for families. The islands have direct budget flights from several airports around the UK.
There’s a varied choice of beachside resort hotels, offering value for money and family-friendly features like water parks, a good choice of restaurants and snack bars, organised children’s activities, live shows and more. Older children will love having the opportunity to explore in this tropical island country – whether visiting ghostly shipwrecks, snorkelling in the clear, warm waters to admire the abundant marine life and volcanic underwater landscapes, or dune bashing in the striking desert landscapes.
