COVID-19

The COVID-19 Pandemic has placed us in a position where we need to make decisions in order to put the safety of our clients and staff as our highest priority.

With this in mind we have come to the decision that it has become essential to temporarily close the doors to our retail branches and ensure the well being of our staff and clients.

In line with government advice on social distancing we have closed our doors to limit the amount of contact our staff and clients are exposed to. Our team are still available to answer your questions by email and can be reached by emailing enquiry@prestburytravel.co.uk.

We will be contacting clients who currently have bookings and may be affected. We are working through these bookings in date order and will be in touch shortly.

We thank you for your understanding in us having to take such precautions. We hope you and your family stay well and look forward to seeing you all when we re-open the doors to our branches.

Best Wishes
From all at Prestbury Travel

Use the drop-down menu below to explore Cape Verde.

Cape Verde is located off the West Coast of Africa and consists of 10 islands within the Atlantic Ocean. It enjoys good weather year-round with average temperatures similar to the Canary Islands and has over recent years become a much more favourable choice for a winter sun escape.

Cape Verde is for most visitors primarily all about the beaches and the warm weather but, with 10 islands to explore there are a number of other holiday experiences to be enjoyed including fantastic water sports on the islands of Sal and Boa Vista. Much of the Cape Verde nightlife is hotel based, however the locals’ lively spirit can be seen in the main resorts at the weekends. Whichever island you choose, expect to experience a melting pot of cultures as there’s a fabulous mixture of African, Brazilian and Portuguese influences which is evident in the island’s music, fashion and of course food with its Creole and Portuguese specialities.

August is the hottest month in Cape Verde with an average temperature of 27°C (81°F) and the coldest is January at 23°C (73°F) with the most daily sunshine hours at 9 in April. The wettest month is September with an average of 77mm of rain. The best month to swim in the sea is in August when the average sea temperature is 27°C (81°F).
