Porto Antigo Resort is a little gem of a complex which enjoys an unrivalled location. The private fresh water pool with large decked solarium overlooks the private beaches. There are plenty of sun beds both on the beach and by the pool. One of the beaches is protected by two harbor walls which really make this very aesthetic complex a picture postcard setting - just see the pictures! Perched on one of the harbor walls is Porto Antigo’s own 'Papaya's Bar and Restaurant' which serves great food and is a perfect place to have a drink at sun set. Having everything at hand, you really are spoilt for choice but this really does make relaxing easy. If you do feel the need for activity, you don't even have to leave the coastline. Turn right and you have five miles of unbroken beaches. This will take you past Santa Maria’s main square which is just a few minutes’ walk from Porto Antigo, and onto a long stretch of beach with beach clubs and water sports centers. Santa Maria has a good selection of restaurants and bars. Turn left and you have more beaches and good coastline walks.



Floating off the west coast of Africa, ten barefoot island paradises wait to whip your breath away. Each one is dramatically different, from bounty-like blonde sands backed by jungle-like scenery to volcanic monochrome landscapes peppered with pastel-painted towns. Yes, the beaches are mind-bogglingly gorgeous.

Cape Verde’s bounty-like beaches instantly grab your attention. Miles of utterly breathtaking porcelain-white sands stretch as far as the eye can see, seductively sliding into glass-like seas. Santa Maria’s un spoilt seashore curves around the coastline for over 7km, so whether you want to stay close to the action near the water sports centers and beach bars or crave the solitude of the sand dunes, you can always find your own piece of paradise. Stroll along the sands and spot the island of Boavista on the horizon.

The food in Cape Verde will have your taste buds tingling in no time, with an exotic mixture of African, Portuguese and Brazilian cuisine. And if you’re a fan of seafood, you’re in for a real treat. Not only is it mouth wateringly delicious - it’s extremely reasonably too.

Although much of Cape Verde’s nightlife is low-key, the local’s lively spirit comes out to play after dark. Their philosophy is ‘the more the merrier’ so whether you join them shimmying to live music at a bustling bar or sip ponche, firewater laced with honey, at a lively cafe, their energy and love of life is contagious. In fact, the more locals you talk you, the more invitations come flooding your way.

The people are a mixture of African and European with approximately 70% of the population being of mixed race. The official language of the islands is Portuguese, which is widely spoken and used in newspapers and anything that is written.

Children are adored throughout the Cape Verde islands and our experience has found that families form an important part of the Cape Verde way of life. The weather is also better suited to children than many holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, due to the constant Atlantic breezes and relatively low humidity. ... read more »hide »
