Mar–Jun — the months this route recommends.
How long you need

What it costs
≈ AED 450 per person per day. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Visa on arrival, 30 days. Pre-registration through EASE is expected before you fly. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.

Best for: Hiking and morna, not resorts
Cape Verde in 9 days: Mindelo, Santo Antão and Cidade Velha
São Vicente → Santo Antão → Santiago
The islands sold as winter sun, done the other way: Mindelo's music bars where morna was invented, a neighbouring island with no airport and some of the best ridge walking in the Atlantic, and the first European colonial town in the tropics with its whipping post still standing in the square.
