The island of Boa Vista is one of the most appealing of the Cape Verde islands, not least because it has an international airport boasting direct flights from a number of well-known European cities.
The island is also currently under development with a number of high-quality residential accommodations and hotels being constructed, and as such there has been substantial investment in developing a tourism infrastructure. Boa Vista is the most easterly of the Cape Verde Islands and has 55 km of wonderful beaches but as yet remains very peaceful and idyllic.
The largest town on the island is Sal Rei which is the third largest city in Cape Verde. There is a port in the bay which has ferry routes to the islands of Santiago, Sal and Maio.
Although there is a thriving agricultural industry and other businesses, hotels, restaurants and bars account for much of the industry in Sal Rei. Tourists have the opportunity of taking sea excursions for fishing, scuba diving and snorkelling or can hire a quad bike, jeep or sand buggy to explore the sand dunes in the islands interior.
The argument for investing in Boa Vista is compelling, as it is a desirable tropical island paradise that is only a 5 1/2 hours flight from London, and which has a rich colonial history and a natural beauty.
The fact that it is still being developed makes now the ideal time to invest before prices begin to rapidly increase as the islands become more known to the general public. The international airport currently has flights from Glasgow, Manchester and Gatwick, with flights from Stansted and Bristol to be added shortly.
