UK tour operator Cape Verde Experience has announced an exciting expansion to its holiday collection for 2025/26, showcasing the diversity of Cape Verde's islands with its new island-hopping itinerary and authentic hotel additions. 

Renowned for offering the widest choice of Cape Verde holidays from the UK, Cape Verde Experience now invites customers to explore even more of the archipelago with its brand-new Islands of Contrast tour. The itinerary combines the best of two dramatically different islands — the golden beaches and laid-back vibe of Sal with the verdant, mountainous scenery of São Nicolau. Guests can relax on Sal's turquoise shores before venturing into São Nicolau's valleys, waterfalls and black sand beaches, experiencing the best of both indulgence and adventure. 

In addition to its new island-hopping tour, Cape Verde Experience has expanded its hand-picked hotel collection comprising authentic and characterful properties. New additions span five islands, cater to every taste and include the following:
