13 June 2011 - The Cape Verde Experience - Press Office
Independent tour operator, The Cape Verde Experience launches its November 2011 – October 2012 brochure this month. The specialist features six out of the ten islands in the Cape Verde archipelago (in total fifteen hotels) and can arrange single-island and twin-centre trips, as well as a selection of programmed and tailor-made island-hopping itineraries. Highlights of the new brochure include: Increased UK Flight Capacity to Cape Verde This winter (11/12) there is a 100% increase in UK flight capacity to Cape Verde. The key departure airports are London Gatwick and Manchester, both offering additional direct flights into the islands of Sal or Boa Vista. UK regional departures are also available from Birmingham to Sal, and - new for this season - from East Midlands and Glasgow to Boa Vista. The Cape Verde Experience is able to book any of the above flights on behalf of its customers, subject to availability. (Flights are operated by Thomson Airways, with the exception of a Manchester to Boa Vista flight with Thomas Cook). New Sal Hotel - 5* Meliá Tortuga Beach & Spa The Cape Verde Experience has added a new 5* all-inclusive resort on the island of Sal to its programme. The Meliá Tortuga Beach & Spa - a member of leading hotel chain The Sol Meliá group – enjoyed its grand opening in May 2011. Positioned on Ponta Preta beach, the resort features a total of 220 luxurious residences, including hotel rooms, one and two-bedroom suites, and deluxe villas complete with private garden and plunge pool. Suited to couples and families, facilities include two freshwater swimming pools, four restaurants, four bars, gymnasium and Yhi spa.
