Cape Verde for Christmas?

A wealth of Christmas getaway ideas – including winter sun in Cape Verde – is the offer from specialist operator, Holiday Options. Visitors to the islands over the festive period can expect temperatures of around 25ºC, with around seven hours of sunshine per day. The flight time is a ‘comfortable’ six hours and there’s no jetlag as Cape Verde is just one hour behind the UK.

Properties on offer include the four-star beachside Venta Club on Boa Vista where, for example, a seven-night holiday departing Gatwick on 19 December, costs £1449 per person.

This twin share price includes return flights, transfers and all-inclusive accommodation with Christmas gala dinner. Children (two-11 years and sharing with two adults) pay £1155 each.

For those who live in the Midlands or the North of England, the company is offering Christmas holidays on the Cape Verde island of Sal, departing from Birmingham on 19 December and Manchester on 23 December.

Christmas breaks with Holiday Options are also available in Madeira, The Azores and La Gomera.
