SERENITY HOLIDAYS - CAPE VERDE BROCHURE

The Cape Verde islands are a crescent shaped archipelago 500km west of Senegal in the Atlantic Ocean. Separated as they are from the rest of Africa, they have their own uniquely diverse culture, their own strong sense of history and belonging that is at once very African yet apart, inimitable. The islands are very much an emerging destination for tourists, but with some of the finest beaches anywhere in the world, some top class accommodation and a culture fit to burst with warmth and vibrancy, this is all set to change.

One of the destination's main strong points is that each of the 10 islands is so different. You have astonishing beaches on Sal and Boa Vista, jaw-dropping mountain scenery on Santa Antão, Fogo has its own still-active volcano, there is the cultural epicentre of Mindelo on the island of Santiago with its throbbing music scene, not to mention the remote beauty of Maio and Brava. The place is alive with possibilities.

It is finally the combination of all these things that makes the Cape Verde Islands such an amazing destination. It genuinely has something for everyone and for now remains new enough for it to feel like you own special secret.
