Exploring the Extraordinary Economic Emergence of Cape Verde

Cape Verde, an archipelago of ten islands off the coast of Senegal enjoying a year round fabulous climate and boasting some incredibly stunning scenery, was a location lesser known until just four short years ago.  In the past four years the islands of Sal, Boa Vista and Santiago in particular have become known as idyllic holiday destinations and perfect second home locations – so much so that Cape Verde’s expatriate population is now greater than its local population.  Cape Verde has shown it has ambitions and plans to become one of the most economically stable nations in Africa, to make the most of its incredible natural attributes, to develop ethical high end and sustainable tourism and property industries.

Not only is the climate in Cape Verde stunning all year round, the islands are encircled with pristine white sandy beaches and tropical vegetation.  The waters that lap the shores of the islands are crystal clear and home to coral reefs and hundreds of species of exotic fish.  Various activities are available for holidaymakers and residents ranging from a whole array of water sports to outdoor pursuits on the rocky volcanic climbs of the islands’ mountainous areas.  There’s no denying that Cape Verde is steering a course towards continued economic advancement and improvement.  The type of property projects now coming to the market are appealing to a very discerning public – and yet, on the whole, the vast majority of real estate is still within financial reach of many of us because prices began from a low starting point, and despite 20% growth last year, there is still substantially more room for expansion as Cape Verde continues to develop and improve.

Take the new Dunas Beach Resort as just one example of a property project that embodies all that is new and exciting in the real estate industry in Cape Verde.  Built on a glamorous frontline beach position on the island of Sal it is within walking distance of Santa Maria.  The development offers residents everything from direct and private beach access to their very own frontline golf course.  An array of spas, swimming pools, shops, a gym, bars and restaurants are all available to development residents.  Properties on the development are 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with 3 bedroom detached villas with private pools – all available with frontline views of either the beach or golf course.  Prices start from £89,950.00.
