All-inclusive Cape Verde hotels and resorts

There are several all-inclusive resorts in the Cape Verde Islands. Choose from Sal or Boavista for hotels with all meals and local drink included. Some include free sports - some of these may be rationed. Generally speaking, you will need to pay for telephone, beauty care, internet use, tours etc.

All inclusive is only available on Sal and Boavista; the concept has not spread yet to other islands.

Normally, the all-inclusive resorts are completely separate from the rest of the Cape Verdes, and have gate staff preventing entry from those not staying there.

Most will offer all meals, and free drinks. Some have non stop food; others have set times for meals. They differ in atmosphere, and feel. All of them offer holidays through tour operators, and if you prefer to avoid the very large tour operators' hotels it is possible to do so.

All inclusive or not all inclusive?

We find that people look for all inclusive (ai) for lots of different reasons

Often, after holidays in the Caribbean people found eating and drinking in restaurants and bars was very expensive. The Cape Verde Islands have more reasonable prices. If you are looking for good accommodation, with more of a flavour of the Cape Verde Islands, you might also like to consider:
