Cape Verde Property InvestmentCape Verde is named after the original Portuguese form for Cap Vert, Cabo Verde, Green Cape in Senegal, the western point of continental Africa. Cape Verde was uninhabited when a Portugese explorer arrived in 1460 and made the islands part of the Portugese Empire. Due to its location off the coast of Africa, Cape Verde became an important watering station, then sugar cane plantation.
Cape Verde is an Archipelago of ten islands situated off the coast of West Africa, and is a marine extension of the Sahara. Consequently, the islands benefit from a dry, moderate climate throughout the year. The tropical climate is tempered by trade winds, temperatures remaining constant most of the year. The rainy season is during August, September and October. It is safe to say, Cape Verde has become a property investment opportunity and a beautiful place to live or holiday. Described as the 12th most desirable location to invest in the Channel 4 programme “20 best places to buy in the sun”. The archipelago, lying in the Atlantic Ocean off the bulge of Africa, is rapidly emerging as an inspiring holiday destination for those seeking something different, and are looking for Cape Verde property for sale. The Cape Verde Islands are the nearest tropical islands to Europe, which make them a viable property investment alternative to other tropical locations such as the Caribbean or the Seychelles, as the flight time is approximately half at around 5 1/2 hours. The Cape Verde government has whole-heartedly embraced plans for property development, including new luxury resorts, villas and houses with the emphasis on high quality accommodation and the need to ensure the environment is not adversely affected. There are some beautiful properties being built which provide gracious living, while enjoying tropical sunshine. |
