Hotels in Santo Antao

Santo Antão is the westernmost island of Cape Verde, renowned for its dramatic landscapes, lush valleys, and rugged mountains. It stands out as a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers, offering some of the best hiking trails in the archipelago. The island’s unique combination of volcanic peaks, deep ravines, and green terraces creates a striking contrast to the typically arid surroundings of Cape Verde. Visitors are drawn to Santo Antão for its authentic rural villages, vibrant local culture, and unspoiled natural beauty. The island’s relatively low population density and limited tourism infrastructure provide a peaceful retreat for those looking to explore off the beaten path. Whether trekking through the Paul Valley’s verdant plantations or enjoying panoramic views from the Cova crater, Santo Antão offers an immersive experience in nature and Cape Verdean tradition.
