Investors eye 'sophisticated' Santiago

Tuesday, June 24, 2008

Discerning buyers should check out Cape Verde's largest, most ‘exclusive' Island, argues one expert...

Home to half the Republic's population, Santiago is the largest and most African island of the archipelago. It is also home to the Republic's capital city, Praia, a small but sophisticated community coming into its own.

An oasis of entertainment, fine dining, upscale hotels and shopping, Santiago also boasts 15 foreign embassies and consulates.

With a spectacular and mountainous interior, the highest point on the Island is the spectacular Pico d'Antonia at 1392m. The coastline has numerous sandy beaches, the best being at Sao Francisco and Tarrafal, 80 kilometres to the north.

Adrian Lillywhite, MD, of Cape Verde Property Ltd, enthused: "With a more diversified and greener terrain, many people think Santiago will become an exclusive upmarket island with quality developments and golf courses.

"Nick Faldo is currently building a golf course close to Cidade Velha, the original capital of Cape Verde and also a World Heritage Site".
