Cape Verde - the new global property hotspot
Cape Verde is widely recognised among international developers as a global property and holiday hotspot, a quality investment opportunity.
An enchanting archipelago of ten tropical islands, each with its own individual character and charm. Cape Verde lies in the Atlantic Ocean 450km west of Senegal on the African coast, and 1000km south of the Canary Islands.
White sandy beaches, exquisite scenery, year round sunshine makes for a tranquil environment. A dry temperate climate of 22-30 degrees C, more consistent than the Canaries, Cape Verde has it all.
Better still , its just five and a half hours by direct flight from the UK, and only one hour behind GMT. Therefore it’s not surprising that Cape Verde is fast becoming the Caribbean for Europe, minus the jet lag.
The local government of the Republic of Cape Verde is very supportive of the foreign investment and is assisting a rapidly developing tourist industry. The local currency, the Cape Verde Escudo (CVE) – also provides the stability of being fixed to the Euro.
Fast and convenient access and all the attractions of a unique tropical paradise, Cape Verde offers unparalleled potential as an investment opportunity for growth, rental income and resale.
SAL ISLAND – the jewel in the Cape Verde crown
The island of Sal – the most popular and developed in Cape Verde archipelago – is well on its way to becoming the world’s top tourist destinations. Regular flights from the UK to Sal’s established international airport whisk holiday makers in hours to the crystal clear seas, endless white sandy beaches, water sports and local restaurants.
The island being 30km long and 12km wide is a jewel of a tropical island. The charming town of Santa Maria sits at the southern most point and is the main tourist resort with beachside restaurants, local shops and a town square where local musicians play Cape Verdean classics. Other attractions include the town of Espargos, the salt flats of Pedra de Lume and the port town of Palmeria.
Sal is at the heart of the investment excitement which surrounds Cape Verde. The government is investing significantly in creating a modern, world class tourist destination. Rapidly developing local infrastructure, a growing number of scheduled flights, increasingly sophisticated tourist facilities, five star hotels, golf courses designed by Ernie Els, and plans for a marina. Major tour operators are already looking for more rental stock.
Its unique combination of its natural status and development, makes Sal the definitive choice over all its neighbouring islands, therefore its never been a better time or opportunity to invest.
