My Jet Set Travel

If you trail though a Thomson Holidays brochure you would be forgiven for thinking that the Cape Verde Islands were as well known as the Canaries for taking a family holiday. The fact is that holidays to the Cape Verde Islands have only really been accessible since October 2007. Even in that short space of time the tourism industry has grown to accommodate the average British family.

All Inclusive holidays to Cape Verde offer a unique twist to a holiday. The Cape Verde islands – situated just off the coast of Senegal and lying halfway between Portugal and Brazil – offers the same climate as the Caribbean, 5 1/2 hours flying time, no jet lag; and 350 hours of sunshine a year. The Air and Sea temperatures are around three degrees warmer than the Canaries and despite the boom in the tourism industry it is still young enough to offer an exclusive destination to those who want to be adventurous. The main Island to take all inclusive holidays to Cape Verde is the desert Island of Sal. Most of the resorts are centered around Sal’s capital Santa Maria. With beautiful long sandy beaches and warm crystal clear waters it is a perfect place to take a relaxing family holiday.

If you are looking to take all inclusive holidays to Cape Verde later in the year you may also want to consider the other desert island of Boa Vista. Direct flights from the UK are due to start in October 2008 and with it more choice of all inclusive resorts. The Island of Santiago in the southern group of islands are due to have direct flights from the UK start in early 2009. Currently there are a number of resorts near completion that will offer all inclusive holidays to Cape Verde.

All inclusive holidays to Cape Verde are available through Thomson Holidays.
