Overview

Make the best memories on our Cape Verde Honeymoon Adventure.

A honeymoon like no other, our wedding trip combines adventure and some relaxation at the end, whilst staying in boutique-style (some off the beaten track) hotels.

You can interact with the locals and buy some fruit from the colourful fruit and vegetable market in Assomada and snorkel at Tarrafal’s pretty cove, with its white sandy beach, on Santiago.

Experience an exhilarating jeep ride on São Vicente during the day and relax with a glass of wine whilst listening to live music in one of Mindelo’s bars.

Then walk from Cova de Paul on Santo Antão, surrounded by cathedral-like cliff walls, down a cobbled path into the amazing green Paul Valley, with little villages scattered about.

Enjoy a relaxing day with delicious food at the remote Kasa d’Igreja, before your head back to Sal for a three-night stay at the elegant Morabeza.
