Is Cape Verde right for you?
Most UK package-holiday searches focus on Sal and Boa Vista. They are separate islands with different airports, so compare the island and resort before comparing hotel prices. Sal has the established resort town of Santa Maria, with more restaurants and independent places to explore; Boa Vista is known for spacious beaches and larger self-contained resorts.
When to go
Cape Verde is often considered for winter-sun and shoulder-season holidays when many Mediterranean resorts are cooler. Conditions can be breezy, especially on exposed beaches, and sea conditions vary. Check forecasts for your dates, pool details and whether the resort offers enough to do when the wind makes beach time less appealing.
Sal or Boa Vista: which island should you choose?
Choose Sal if you want the broadest choice of restaurants, shops and activities around Santa Maria. Consider Boa Vista for long beaches and a quieter, resort-focused stay. Compare the exact hotel location, transfer and included facilities—not only the island name or headline package price.
