Overseas
Property Cape Verde
Cape Verde
is home to all year round sunshine and some of the most beautiful
beaches in
the world. One hour south of the Canary Islands and only five
and a half
hour's flight time from the UK,
Palm View Resort on Boa Vista Island
is also accessible from most large European cities. With direct flights
starting from the UK
in January 2008 there has never been a better time to invest as
accessibility
to these little-known islands increases.
The
Republic
of Cape Verde
islands are located in the mid-Atlantic
Ocean around 450km off the west coast of Africa making them Europe's
closest tropical islands. The archipelago includes 10 sun-drenched
islands
within the tropic of Cancer and is divided into the Windward and
Leeward
groups, benefiting from a year round temperate climate. The islands'
latitude
means no hurricanes and they are blessed with year round temperatures
of
between 22 and 26 degrees centigrade.
With
an increasing number of direct flights, this
island paradise in a stunning pristine environment, is now easily
accessed from Europe
and is tipped as a top tourist
destination for 2008, having repeatedly been voted by Expedia in the
top five
tourist destinations in 2007. With a justifiably growing reputation
amongst
holiday-makers and property investors alike, Cape Verde
is set to experience
phenomenal property rental and capital growth potential whilst being
developed
with care and respect for retaining its beautiful, natural
surroundings.
Investment property in Cape
Verde
has featured on the UK Channel 4 TV programme, "A Place In The Sun",
as the top property investment location of 2005/2006, and property on
the
islands, especially the unspoiled Boa Vista Island,
continues to experience healthy growth.
Boa
Vista
Island
A
sunbather's paradise, Boa Vista boasts some of the best beaches to be
found on Cape Verde,
making it an ideal destination for sailing, diving, surfing and fishing
enthusiasts. The quaint port at Sal Rei is Boa Vista's capital.
Often
dubbed 'the sand dune isle' for it's distinctly desert-like
appearance, Boavista is the closet island to the African coast and
experiences the hot, dry winds blowing off the Sahara. The interior is
barren volcanic rock but is a sunbathers paradise as Boa Vista boasts
one of the best beaches to be found on Cape Verde at Curralinho, making
an ideal destination for sailing, diving, surfing and fishing
enthusiasts. The quaint port at Sal Rei is Boavista's capital.
