Package holidays to Cape Verde are becomming more and more accessible to the mainstream British public. As little as two years ago package holidays to Cape Verde were a pipe dream, now there is just as much choice as any other holiday destination; with more islands slowing opening up to British tourists.

The island with the most developed tourism industry is the desert islands of Sal. It sits in the northern half of the group of islands and has one of the sunniest climates. If you are after beaches then Sal is the one for you with miles of coastline to choose from.

If you fancy a trip to some of the other islands there are boat trips to Santiago, Boa Vista and other islands. Package holidays to Cape Verde are ideal for those who want a combination of beach and adventure.

Within the space of a year tour operators have picked up on the uniqueness and desirability of the Cape Verde Islands. They only emerged as a holiday destination last year with Thomson the only well known tour operator to offer package holidays to the islands. As you can imagine, since they had the monopoly on the high street niche, their prices were hardly competitive. Now other tour operators are offering cheap holidays to the Cape Verde Islands.

Interestingly,Thomson Holidays still offer very good prices on their All Inclusive deals to the islands. Other tour operators offer cheap holidays to the Cape Verde Islands if you opt for self catering or room only accommodation.

Watch this space, new islands in the archipelago are opening up to tourism with Boa Vista and Santiago Islands the next on the list.
