explore the island

Take an Island Tour or hire a car. Visit the pretty inland villages, the old lighthouse, the caves on Varandinha beach, the desert, the pottery in Rabil, the shipwreck of Santa Maria and much more.

Spend an evening stargazing in the desert, or just from your balcony. 

Hunt around for totally unique Cape Verdean souvenirs. Throw your own pot.

Dine in a different restaurant each day of the week. Try cachupa, goat stew, moreia, buzio, local tuna fish and more. Wash it down with Strela, the local lager. And of course you must try grogue and ponche whilst you are here. 

Take an exhilarating quad or buggy adventure. 

Visit a local farm and milk a goat.
