Like any holiday you take, there is always a question mark regarding tap water and if it is drinkable. In this quick article, we will detail everything that you will need to know about tap water in Cape Verde.
<H2> Can you drink tap water in Cape Verde?
If you are a tourist, we would not advise you to drink the tap water in Cape Verde. Although the water is desalinated, the way water is stored and delivered can encourage bacterial growth.
For this reason, we would advise all visitors to make use of water stations or drink bottled or filtered water throughout their stay.
<H2> What Can You Safely Do With Cape Verde’s Water?
Although you cannot drink water straight from the tap, it is completely safe to bathe and wash yourself in, so don’t hesitate to enjoy a long shower or a bubble bath when staying with us.

<H2> Where Should You Get Your Drinking Water From in Cape Verde?
<H3> Urban Areas
In built-up areas, tap water is relatively safer to drink rather than in places that are more remote, but as always, we would always tell you to stick with your gut. If you’re in a nice restaurant, it might be worth asking your waiter if the tap water is filtered. If it is, you’re good to go, but sometimes picking the safest option might be best.
<H3> Harbours and Towns
When venturing to slightly less built-up areas such as harbours or towns, we would not advise drinking the tap water at all. If possible, purchase bottled water from a local vendor or shop.
One way to get around this is to bring your own personal filter system that can filter tap water with ease.
These can be found online before your holiday or in some local stores in Cape Verde.
<H3> Resorts
Throughout the Lagoon, we have many water stations for you to choose from. Simply ask one of our friendly staff members where you can find drinking water, and you’ll have some in no time.
Within your rooms, we would advise drinking filtered or bottled water, as water straight from the tap might still make you unwell.
As always, we advise our guests to stick to their gut feeling when staying with us and use bottled or filtered water when possible.
