Pestana Tropico Hotel, Cape Verde
A volcanic archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, these beautiful islands are known for their gorgeous beaches.
Enjoy your pregnancy strolling along the clean sands. There’s plenty of Creole- Portuguese-African music and lots to do; take a trip to the old town of Santiago with its 16th Century fort, explore the island’s interior and volcano, pop into the Museu Municipal, an airy colonial mansion packed with photos, traditional musical instruments and sewing machines, or go turtle watching – they lay their eggs at Boa Vista in massive numbers.
Stay at Pestana Tropico with its contemporary rooms and salt water pool. The restaurant serves Portuguese and international cuisine and the bar’s perfect for an evening view of the pool and sea.
It’s only a seven minute drive from the airport near the historic centre of Praia.
Book it: Executive Sea View Room from £111 per night
