Popular places to stay in Cape Verde
Cape Verde is a group of ten volcanic islands rising from the Atlantic around 570 kilometres off the West African coast, split into the windward Barlavento and leeward Sotavento chains. Warm temperatures hold through the year and the trade winds are dependable, which is why the flat, sandy islands of Sal and Boa Vista have become magnets for beach holidays, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Sal's resort town of Santa Maria strings together long stretches of pale sand, easy watersports and a relaxed evening scene, while Boa Vista is quieter, with wide dunes and empty shores. The mood shifts on the greener, more mountainous islands. São Vicente is the cultural heart, and its port city of Mindelo is famous for Cape Verdean music, the melancholy morna that carried singer Cesária Évora to the world. Just across the channel, Santo Antão trades beaches for dramatic ridges and terraced valleys, laced with some of the best hiking trails in the Atlantic. Add the historic capital, Praia, on Santiago, and Cape Verde makes an unusual combination: a year-round sun destination that also rewards walkers, surfers and music lovers looking for somewhere a little different.

Vacation rentals in Cape Verde: FAQ
Book vacation apartments and holiday homes safely with BookNoFees ↗When is the best time to visit Cape Verde?
Cape Verde is a year-round warm destination, so there is no true off-season for sun. The islands are driest for much of the year, with the short rains generally falling between about August and October. Wind-sport travellers often favour the windier winter months on Sal and Boa Vista. Check current conditions for your chosen island and dates, as weather varies across the archipelago.
Which island should I choose?
It depends on the trip. Sal and Boa Vista are the classic beach-and-watersports islands with the most resorts and flights. São Vicente suits travellers drawn to music and city life in Mindelo, while Santo Antão is the island for hiking and mountain scenery. Santiago mixes the historic capital with a rugged interior. Many visitors combine two islands using short domestic flights or ferries.
Is Cape Verde good for windsurfing and kitesurfing?
Yes — the flat, sandy islands of Sal and Boa Vista are well known among wind-sport travellers thanks to steady trade winds and warm water. Santa Maria on Sal is a popular base, with schools and rental gear geared to different ability levels. Conditions are strongest in the windier months, so check seasonal forecasts if wind sports are the main reason for your trip.
What is there to do besides the beach?
More than many people expect. Santo Antão offers spectacular hiking through terraced valleys and along mountain ridges. Mindelo on São Vicente is the cultural capital, known for live morna music and a lively Carnival. Fogo has a volcano you can hike and vineyards grown in volcanic soil, and Santiago's capital, Praia, has markets, history and a rugged coastline to explore.
How does booking direct with BookNoFees work?
You can message the host before booking. For a booking request, Stripe first places a card hold for the full amount; the host has 48 hours to accept, and only then is the amount captured. Instant Book is charged immediately after Stripe confirms payment. Do not transfer the booking amount directly to the host. The displayed total already includes the 6.9% guest fee on the host price, covering payment processing, refund handling and payment risks.
Why does 'no commission' matter?
BookNoFees deducts no commission from the amount set by the host. The displayed total includes a 6.9% guest fee on the host price, covering payment processing, refund handling and payment risks. Nothing is added at checkout.
