INVESTING ON OTHER ISLANDS:

Although there is a lot of investment taking place on Sal, those that think that Sal isn't for them may consider visiting the other islands.

The island of Sao Vicente has the city of Mindelo, a thriving city and port. The rest of the island is less developed and developers/investors have marked their own large plots of land for developments similar to those on Sal. However you may wish to look at the individual apartment blocks that are being built which are situated in Mindelo. Alternatively you may want to consider buying your own plot of land in presently less developed areas of the island or what will eventually be near a golf course or marina. There are many options to consider. There is currently only one British expat living and working on Sao Vicente.

Some British expats have settled on the islands of Santiago and Boavista, there are also Italian and other nationality expats that have settled there. Both islands differ greatly from each other as you will read on other pages, FAQ's and blogs about visits to the islands.       

More developments are planned for these and other islands, although each island is different as stated, some with less of an infrastructure than Sal.

The islands of Sao Nicolau and Santo Antao will have more attraction to those who enjoy peace, scenery or walking, however Santo Antao is only accessible be boat and Sao Nicolau by small plane (and perhaps by boat). As far as we are aware, there are no British Expats currently living on those islands. There is some information on the islands within this website and a number of photos and movies which can be found via the picasa web albums.        

The scenery and cultural influence on each island may vary, however you won't know about them solely from reading about them in books or on websites. Each island has various opportunities to attract visitors and certain islands will attract investors. 

There are tour operators and travel agents advertising trips to these other islands on this website.
