Cape Verde is about to be on everybody’s bucket list this summer. Located 350 miles off the coast of Senegal in West Africa, this necklace of islands remains a relatively hidden gem for British tourists, despite offering guaranteed winter sun without jet-lag — it’s only one hour behind UK time.
125,000 British holidaymakers visited the islands last year, but the vast majority of this rugged country remains undiscovered: most visitors go to the most established beach islands of Sal and Boavista, where all-inclusive resorts reign supreme and the temptation to go exploring can often be trumped by a cocktail.
