Ten volcanic islands rising from the Atlantic, black-sand beaches on Fogo, the golden dunes of Boa Vista and the colourful lanes of Mindelo steeped in morabeza... Cape Verde is not a mass-market destination; it is an archipelago to be savoured slowly. But hopping from island to island in search of Wi-Fi, or paying exorbitant roaming fees, spoils the magic. With an eSIM activated before you even leave France, you arrive in Santiago or Sal already connected, ready to share your Atlantic sunsets, navigate offline between ferries and stay reachable with no nasty surprise on your bill.

Why is an eSIM essential in Cape Verde?
Cape Verde is an archipelago: you will be changing islands, moving between secluded bungalows, small towns and wild beaches. Local physical SIM cards exist, but they are only sold on certain islands such as Santiago or Sal, and reliable resellers are few and far between. With a Simpartout eSIM you activate your plan from Paris, without hunting for a shop on arrival after a night flight. CV Móvel's 4G/LTE network covers about 80% of the territory, notably the tourist areas of Boa Vista, Sal and São Vicente. Be aware that in the rural areas of Santo Antão and some mountainous interiors, coverage remains limited, so download your maps offline before heading out hiking. For multi-island trips, an eSIM also saves you from juggling several physical cards depending on which island you are on.
