Cape Verde – the new global property and holiday hotspot
Cape Verde is widely recognised among international developers as the new global property and holiday hotspot, and a star 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.
Beautiful white sandy beaches. Stunning scenery. An unspoilt, pristine environment. Fascinating local restaurants. Year-round sunshine. A dry, temperate climate of between 22-30ºC that’s even more consistent than the Canaries. Cape Verde has it all.
Even better, it’s just five and a half hours by direct flight from the UK, and only one hour behind GMT. So 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 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.
So with 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 or resale.
