Cape Verde has several islands which have luxury developments for sale, but I think that Boa Vista is one of the nicest islands for anyone looking for a second home, or an investment property.
This is because it is the third largest island and has sufficiently well-developed infrastructure to be able to support the growing tourism industry. Most of the native population no longer live on the island as conditions are often extremely dry which makes it very difficult for any agricultural activity. This is the reason why Boa Vista is often known as the Island of Dunes and Beaches, as it is ideal for tourism and has some of the nicest beaches in the archipelago.
It has an abundance of marine life, and if you choose to visit during June through to November, you may even spot turtles nesting on the southernmost beaches. It is one of the most important nesting sites in the world.
Some visitors also spot humpbacked whales off the islet of Sal Rei, with the best times for viewing being the months of December to February. The beautiful coastline offers miles of unspoilt walks, and the waters are ideal for watersports and deep sea fishing. There are also lots of quad biking tours available.
Nightlife on the island is relatively quiet, but there are a few concerts during the summer, including the common music festival which takes place in August on Santa Cruz. The other major festival takes place on the 4th July, which is the day of Santa Isabel who is the patron saint of the island.
