Travelling to Cape Verde with children: what to do
A trip to Cape Verde is among the best to take with children and is suitable for parents and little ones. This archipelago off the African coast offers enchanting and relaxing stays perfect for all ages, with an unbeatable mix of unspoiled nature and breathtaking beaches.
What to know for the trip
If you're wondering when to visit Cape Verde, its mild climate makes it a year-round destination. The weather features a hotter season where temperatures rarely exceed 35 degrees, and a cooler period from July to November with temperatures around 25 degrees. This means you can even celebrate New Year's Eve on a paradise beach in Cape Verde. Due to its relatively untouched nature, we recommend you stay in one of the many resorts in Cape Verde, which offer all the comforts needed for both adults and children.
What to see in Cape Verde
It's hard to say which is the most beautiful island in Cape Verde because the waters of the Atlantic Ocean make every part of it a dream come true. A holiday in Cape Verde, hopping from island to island, promises a journey filled with breathtaking scenery.
Sal Island
Sal is one of the most beautiful islands in the archipelago. While staying at the VOI Vila Do Farol Resort, you can explore the stunning beaches of Santa Maria and Ponta Preta. Be sure to visit Buracona, a unique natural pool where the sun creates the famous 'blue eye' effect on the water every day between 11 AM and 2 PM.
Boa Vista Island
Staying at the VOI Praia De Chaves Resort, you can explore Boa Vista Island, one of the best places to take children. Known for its stunning sand dunes meeting crystal-clear waters, it is perfect for families. Santa Monica Beach, stretching 18 kilometres, offers a peaceful haven where children can play safely. Alternatively, you can enjoy the peaceful Praia de Chaves, another of the island's most beautiful beaches, right next to the resort.
Santo Antão Island
For adventurous families, Santo Antão Island is the perfect destination. With rugged cliffs plunging into the sea on one side and vibrant green valleys on the other, it's ideal for mountain hikes and exploring local culture in its charming towns. A must-visit route is the Estrada Corta, a mountain pass between Porto Novo and Ribeira Grande, both of which are worth exploring. Another captivating trail leads to the Cova Crater, where you'll likely meet friendly locals always eager to share their culture.
