Choose the Right Accomodation For You 

There is a wide variety of accomodation to choose from depending on your budget and personal preference.

MAKE IT REAL

Without a doubt the best way to experience real Cape Verdean culture is to live with the local people. On Santo Antao and Fogo, the two hiking islands, local people are offering their homes to walkers. Accomodation of this kind is basic but allows walkers to take up more energetic challenges, knowing that they have somewhere to stay along the way, and get an insight into Cape Verdean lifestyle.

THE SIMPLE LIFE

Pensao and residencial, often interchangeable, generally refer to a no-frills type of accomodation. The rooms have simple decor, are clean, and often with en-suite bathroom. You can think of it as the equivalent of our B&B's.

FOR THE MORE DEMANDING

For higher expectations, hotels would be the solution. Luxury hotels of international standards can be found in Sal, Santiago, Sao Vicente and Boavista. Rooms in most three-star hotels will have en-suite bathrooms, telephone, fan or air-conditioning, fridge and television. An increasing number of hotels now offer all-inclusive packages, but not on every island. 

ALL TOGETHER NOW

On Sal, Boavista and Maio you can also take advantage of the many villas and apartments available for rental for one week or longer. These new developments, most of which have been sold to international buyers, are usually situated in great locations only a few hundred metres from the sea. Some, called 'front line ocean', sit right on the beach! They generally come completely furnished and benefit from close proximity to bars, restaurants and shops. There is a wide range to chose from: studios, 1 to 3 bed apartments, 2/3 bed villas and even townhouses!

GLASTONBURY STYLE

And finally, camping on the beaches is allowed!
