The pure, warm water one hour south of the Canaries is home to Cape Verde, a very different group of ten largely undiscovered tropical islands. With a year round warm climate, hospitable people and a stable environment, this sleepy hide away offers an opportunity like no other to cut off from the real world. Rhododendrons, fire trees and corn plants decorate the horizon while dolphins, whales and turtles coexist with the coral in the clear water around the shores. Largely hilly and lush, some of the islands of the Cape Verde archipelago are quite flat, with white sand as far as the eye can see. Rich in African, Mediterranean and Latin influence, this former Portuguese colony benefits from thoughtful development and environmental conservation mapped as part of a grand plan to introduce the benefits of its 'real paradise' to the world.

The Islands were uninhabited when discovered in 1460 by explorers and commissioned by the Portuguese Crown. The Africans who were brought in under slavery mixed with Portuguese, English and French, to create the Cape Verdean people. Then in 1975, the Cape Verdean people were given Independence from Portugal, and in 1991 a multi-party democracy began.

The country's main economic drivers are now firmly identified in the tourism and service sectors, the Cape Verdean Government have ambitious plans for the archipelago in the years to come.
