Until very recently, the Cape Verde Islands were little heard of. Well, the Islands lie some 300miles off the Senegal coast and the largest of the archipelago is Santiago at 50km long by 25km wide and neighbouring islands include Sal, Boa Vista, Maio, Fogo and Brava, 10 in all.
This is soon to change - especially since a famous overseas property guru ranked Cape Verde number 12 in her top 20 places in the sun!

While tourism is certainly picking up, Cape Verde is still independent and unspoiled. The Islands enjoy an unbelievable 360 days of sunshine per year and are geographically sited such that virtually no extreme weather conditions have been reported to pass their way. Average daily temperatures hover between 21ºC and 30ºC throughout the year, which is warmer and more reliable than even the Canary Islands, whilst the sea water temperature sits at around 22ºC to 26ºC all year round and is beautifully clear.

Cape Verde is certain to become a significant tourist destination and the current figure of 130,000 tourists visiting each year is set to escalate to 500,000 by 2015. Whether you're after an idyllic spot to spend a warm winter or an investor that wants to reap in the benefits as the market inevitably soars, Cape Verde could be just the secret that you're looking for.

Sal Island is arguably the most developed of the Cape Verde Islands for tourism and in the beach resort of Santa Maria, not only can you buy a great value holiday home, but due to the prime location,rental potential is at a peak and when you come to sell, who knows what percentage return you could achieve. You'd be hard pushed to find such value elsewhere.
