Consisting of 10 stunning islands off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde offers a unique blend of cultures, landscapes, and attractions and is one of the best places for your next kitesurfing holiday. Find out why with these 6 reasons:
1. It’s just a hop, skip and a jump away
With direct short haul flights from the UK and most European destinations, Cape Verde is so easy to reach, making it perfect for a short getaway or an easy trip with the family.
2. The perfect winter break
With a sunny climate year round and reliable winds, Cape Verde is the best place to holiday if you are looking to escape the cold weather during the festive season.
3. There is something for the whole family to enjoy
Cape Verde has a lot to offer non-kitesurf partners, friends or family members. Spend your days exploring the small fishing villages, frolicking in the warm waters at one of the endless array of beautiful beaches, or enjoy an exciting diving or hiking experience – there really is so much to keep everyone entertained.
4. Great affordable accommodation
We have hand-picked a number of great accommodation options for our clients, from small locally run apartments to all-inclusive resorts. The Morabeza Hotel in Sal is one of our favourites – with a superb beach front location and the kitesurf centre located just next door, this 4-star hotel is the perfect place to stay.
5. Conditions for every skill level
At Planet Kitesurf we work with two main islands in Cape Verde – named Sal and Boa Vista – which both offer fantastic kitesurfing for all skill levels. On the island of Sal, the very large bay area of Santa Maria offers plenty of space for training as well as some easy waves for novice kitesurfers, Kite Beach offers clean side on shore wind and is the perfect area for improvers to hone their skills while more experienced kiters should head to Ponta Preta for its great wave! At Boa Vista the flat water spot at Sal Rei is perfect for learning or improving your skills, while a wide variety of great wave spots can be found all over the island.
6. You can book a private guided service to find the best spots
The island of Boa Vista offers an amazing variety of kitesurfing conditions, from perfect waves to butter flat water. The best way to discover the best spots in Boa Vista is with a private guided 4×4 service where you will be taken to a new spot every day depending on the wind conditions and what you prefer. You can even enjoy a lunch barbeque on the beach when you eventually decide you need a break!
