Wakan Bar (Boa Vista)

This is by no means a 5-star establishment, but the quality of both the drinks and service at Wakan Bar are unmatched on Boa Vista. The lovely Italian couple who run the place serve delicious cocktails from their small bar (designed to look like a boat) right next to the beach.

Bars & Nightlife

Nightlife in Cape Verde moves to the sounds of 'morna', a beautiful form of folk music that fully captures the country's rich history and mix of cultural influences. In taverns around the islands, people gather after dark to hear the mournful sounds of singers accompanied by guitars, violins, and pianos. More joyful melodies come from the islands' other genres of 'funaná', 'batuque', and 'coladeira', all of which liven up a nightlife scene that lives and breathes music and tradition.
