Cape Verde Property Investments: Two Decades of Pioneering Vision and Lasting Legacy
Founded in 2004 by the late Adrian Lillywhite, Cape Verde Property Investments has been at the forefront of transforming Cape Verde from a “dot on the map” into one of the world’s most exciting emerging holiday and property investment destinations. Over 21 years, Adrian’s dedication, passion and belief in the islands helped shape international awareness of Cape Verde’s potential - its beauty, culture, and strategic value for lifestyle seekers and investors alike.
Adrian passed away in March 2025, leaving behind not only a thriving business but a remarkable legacy deeply rooted in his love for the Cape Verde islands. His wife, Bev Lillywhite, has since stepped forward to continue the mission they shared. With the same warmth, commitment and vision, she leads the business into its next chapter - promoting, supporting and celebrating the opportunities these islands offer.
A Business Built to Meet Demand and Driven by Opportunity
Cape Verde Property Investments was originally formed to meet the rapidly growing interest in purchasing holiday homes, investment properties, and land across Cape Verde. As international tourism began to rise, so did the demand for trustworthy, knowledgeable guidance - and the company rapidly became the go-to resource for buyers from across Europe and beyond.
Today, the company remains proudly independent, offering a wide selection of property and land for sale across the main islands, including:
- Sal
- Boa Vista
- São Vicente
- Santiago
- Maio
- São Nicolau
- Santo Antão
- Fogo
We are the Cape Verde specialists.
Friendly Expertise From the UK to Cape Verde
Operating from offices in Windsor, Berkshire (UK), and in central Santa Maria, Sal, Cape Verde Property Investments offers clients friendly, expert advice at every stage of the property-buying process. Whether someone is searching for a retirement retreat, an investment opportunity, or land for development, the company provides clear, professional guidance grounded in decades of experience.
Their multilingual team assists clients throughout Sal and coordinates seamlessly with trusted partners on the other islands, ensuring buyers can view the best opportunities wherever they may be located.
From off-plan developments to resale properties, the company offers comprehensive support from initial enquiry through to final completion - making the property journey smooth, transparent and enjoyable.
Supporting Developers and Large-Scale Investors
Beyond individual buyers, Cape Verde Property Investments also works closely with major developers and large investors. Through special arrangements and long-established local partnerships, the company can assist with:
- Land acquisition
- Partnership opportunities
- Multi-million-euro development projects
- Strategic investment guidance
A Legacy Continued
While Adrian Lillywhite’s entrepreneurial spirit and infectious passion laid the foundation for Cape Verde Property Investments, his influence continues to guide the company’s direction. Bev Lillywhite now carries this legacy forward - championing the islands, serving clients with integrity, and promoting the unique lifestyle and investment opportunities Cape Verde has to offer.
Cape Verde Property Investments stands today as a testament to two decades of dedication, expertise and love for these extraordinary islands. Whether for a holiday home, a retirement dream or a strategic investment, the company remains committed to helping every client find their own piece of Cape Verde’s future.
