TUI’s Cape Verde deals are worth a proper look right now, because the discounts are real ones. Several five-star Riu all-inclusive weeks that normally sell for £1,200 to £1,400 per person have dropped to between £689 and £902pp. The biggest cut is on the five-star Riu Cabo Verde in Sal, down from £1,323 to £733pp, a saving of £590.
These were TUI’s own was-and-now prices, live on 9 June 2026, for seven nights all-inclusive with flights and transfers. There were 29 discounted Cape Verde holidays on the page, flying from regional airports including Newcastle, Birmingham and London Gatwick. Each adds about £15.49pp in tourist tax, paid in resort.
What’s on offer
Every price here is for seven nights, all-inclusive, with flights and transfers in the package. The deals split across Sal and the quieter island of Boa Vista:
- Seven nights all-inclusive from £689pp, flights and transfers included
- A choice of Sal, busier with more resorts, or Boa Vista, quieter with bigger beaches
- About £15.49pp tourist tax, paid in resort, on top of the headline price

Prices vary by travel date, departure airport and party size, and TUI’s deal prices can change daily. Run your own dates before deciding.
Is this genuinely good value?
Yes, if you want a five-star week without doing the legwork. A £590pp cut on the Riu Cabo Verde is a real reduction against TUI’s own price, and these Riu resorts are large, well-reviewed and properly all-inclusive. The figure to watch is the tourist tax, which adds about £15.49pp on arrival.
It’s worth comparing against booking flights and a hotel separately. easyJet now flies to Sal from £121.99, so an independent trip can come in cheaper, though you lose the transfer and the single-booking ATOL cover a package gives you. For that side of it, see our easyJet Cape Verde holidays piece.
The verdict
If a five-star, everything-included week is the goal, the discounted Riu hotels are the pick, and Riu Cabo Verde is the standout on price. Boa Vista suits you if you want fewer crowds and longer beaches, though it costs a little more.

How to book
A few tips before you search. Tap Book Now to go straight there.
- Filter by departure airport. The lead prices sit on specific airports and dates.
- Add the £15.49pp tourist tax to your budget. It’s paid in resort, not at checkout.
- Check the board basis shows All Inclusive at checkout, not half board.
- Compare Sal and Boa Vista. Sal has more resorts and shorter transfers, Boa Vista is quieter.
Sal and Boa Vista: what to know
Sal is the flat, sandy island most TUI flights land on, with Santa Maria as its main resort strip and the airport a short transfer away. Boa Vista is quieter, with huge open beaches and fewer hotels. Both sit about six hours from the UK with only a one-hour time difference, so there’s no jet lag to sleep off.
Both islands are built around long, open beaches and warm, clear water. Boat trips regularly spot turtles and dolphins, and from June to October loggerhead turtles come ashore on Boa Vista and Sal to nest, one of the largest nesting sites in the world.
Before you book, it’s worth checking the TUI baggage allowance so you don’t pay for hold luggage twice.
