WELCOME TO
ALDEIA MANGA
A hidden gem in the middle of nature
"LESS IS MORE"
We recently decided to close Aldeia Manga Eco Lodge as a Hotel.
Now we start from July 2026 with a new concept for self catering guests, which is more exclusive as the entire property will divided by a maximum of just 8 guests.
This will create a very cozy and tranquil atmosphere.
We invite our guests to enjoy the maximum peace and and privacy in combination with nature experience you can find in the Paúl Valley on Santo Antão island.
The houses in Aldeia Manga are constructed using ecological and recyclable materials: adobe, stones, wood and straw. Aldeia Manga awaits you with a garden spread out over 7,000 m², featuring bananas, guavas, papaya, mangos, bamboo and all manners of flowers and other plants.
Our swimming pond was cleared by hand and our water preparation process is conducted entirely without chemicals, 100% ecological.

The Houses
Holiday Houses & Apartment
Two large stone houses with full equipped kitchens and an apartment with a kitchenette. Because the houses are spread out around the property and all have their own outdoor seating areas, you'll have plenty of privacy.
All units are equipped with their own bathroom, wash basin and shower (warm water).
All houses and most of the common areas have high Speed WIFI (Starlink) which allows our guests as for example Digital Nomads to do video conferences in good quality.
