Sao Vicente Overview

The island of Sao Vicente is the most eastern of all the Cape Verde islands, lying 445KM from the coast of West Africa.
It was discovered on Saint Vincent’s day (January 22nd), hence its Portuguese name Sao Vicente.

It is best known for the city of Mindelo, the second largest city in Cape Verde, and the country’s cultural capital.

It also hosts one of the country’s deepest port, which has long been a refuelling point for British ships.

There is a new International Airport being built in Sao Vicente. We have been advised that the building of the extended runway at San Pedro is underway. Those who invest in Sao Vicente will have access to Mindelo which is the cultural capital of Cape Verde. Mindelo has the arts, amenities and night life that are envied throughout the country.

The development of Sao Vicente will be boosted by a new NATO base of 7,000 personnel which is to be placed on Santa Luzia, a small island to the East. The Americans are helping with the development of the new international airport in Sao Vicente to facilitate the new military base. A Dubai based company recently made the biggest investment in the history of Cape Verde, purchasing 1.5 million square metres of land in Sao Vicente.
