Voted "The Best New Development" in the 2008 CNBC Europe & Africa Property Awards, Fortim Mindelo has set the standard for world class development on the Cape Verde Islands. Perched on possibly the best vantage point in the Capital, Fortim Mindelo wakes up each morning to one of the most beautiful bays in the World.

Set on one of the more developed islands in the tropical archipelago of Cape Verde, São Vicente is famous for its vibrant festivals, lively town centre and strong commitment to culture. São Vicente is known as the ‘pearl of West Africa’, this stunning island of 70,000 residents measures just 24km by 16km and remains very much the perfect tropical paradise. Widely acknowledged as the carnival capital of Africa, the year round celebration of native music, song and dance reaches a peak in an explosion of colour for the annual Brazilian style carnival, usually held in late February in the streets of the city of Mindelo.

The exclusivity of this development does not stop at the site and location. Through a joint venture with Nikki Beach, Fortim Mindelo is set to deliver a world-renowned boutique resort with all the charm and relaxed chic associated with this luxury brand. With the historical fort, Fortim Mindelo, at its heart, the resort will offer jet setters the choice of a five-star hotel, superior villas and apartments.

A low density five star development, Fortim Mindelo will consist of 60 apartments and 14 villas, combining the very best of modern interiors and architecture. On site amenities will include access to all the services provided by the world renowned Nikki Beach boutique resort including cool pools with signature Nikki opium beds, an on-site Casino and a variety of dining and entertainment services including Nikki’s Satine and Pearl restaurants and its infamous nightclub.

All complemented by state-of-the-art modern architecture designed in association with the Nikki interiors team.

All accommodation will be constructed to a five star standard including the interiors which will have state of the art kitchens with granite work tops; there will also be marble/porcelain flooring throughout, jacuzzi baths and floor to ceiling sliding terrace doors. The standard Bang & Olufsen ‘Smart Home’ system provided in each home will allow residents to book all manner of services via the television ‘on screen menu’. Guests can reserve a round of golf, horse riding, big game fishing, spa treatments and in house catering for example. All properties will have air-conditioning with separate controls per room meaning each one can be cooled as necessary limiting waste and helping to protect the environment.

Situated only 10 minutes drive from the international airport of Sao Pedro there are a variety of unique VIP services including personalized check in 24 hour concierge and limousine airport pick up services, meaning your holiday starts from the moment you arrive on the plane.

Fortim Mindelo is based within a ten minute drive of two PGA golf courses designed by Ernie Els and Jack Nicklaus providing an unrivalled choice to keen golfers.
