Combine Beach bliss with Cape Verde’s Spectacular Carnival

Specialist tour operator Cape Verde Experience presents its spectacular Carnival package on the stunning island of São Vicente — a four-night cultural add-on that pairs perfectly with a relaxing beach break on the island of Sal.

Taking place in February 2026 in the lively harbour city of Mindelo, São Vicente Carnival is Cape Verde’s most vibrant and flamboyant celebration. The city erupts with colour, music, and parades inspired by Brazilian and Portuguese traditions — all infused with Cape Verdean soul. Visitors can expect the sounds of morna, funaná, and batuque echoing through colonial streets and lively bars.
