Aldeia Manga is the first real Eco Lodge of the Cape Verde Islands. Our houses 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.
Imagine walking across the sugar cane and banana plants through the greenest valley of the Cape Verde Islands, with high mountains surrounding and the blue sea at the lower end of the valley.
You’ll find these experiences, plus many more at Aldeia Manga Eco Lodge !
ALDEIA MANGA FROM THE AIR
PAÚL VALLEY VIEW
Ribeira do Paúl Valley Remote, yet accesible
The Ribeira de Paúl or more simply, Paúl Valley, is a refuge for nature lovers and hikers. It might well be described as the green heart of the island. It’s also the greenest valley of the entire Cape Verde Islands. Thanks to its climatic and geographical conditions, the region is primarily dedicated to agriculture.
Sugarcane, bananas, papaya and mangos are grown in Paúl Valley, as are potatoes and vegetables. Breadfruit and coconut trees are also…

Personeel is erg attent en lief met de kindjes.Het ontbijt en diner is prima.We waren met kleine kindjes en dan is 2 dagen meer dan genoeg. Je kan met kindjes namelijk geen kant op want alles is een heel stuk wandelen en heel veel klimmen en afdalen.Je kan nergens een klein boodschapje doen want je zit erg afgelegen. Daar waren we niet helemaal op voorbereid 😉De zwemvijver is zalig maar ook niet geschikt voor kleine kinderen. Ze kunnen er niet zelfstandig in komen en niet staan.De huisjes zijn prima en netjes. De nachten waren heel, heel warm want geen horren voor de ramen en ook geen klamboes dus alles moest dicht tegen de muggen.Het zou super zijn als ze horen voor de ramen plaatsen zodat je in de nacht gewoon lekker alles open kan laten.Dank voor de gastvrijheid en de mooie plek!read less - 05/10/2023

The lodge very clean, comfortabel, new and well maintained. The garden has blossomed a lot since the pictures where taken. There are several routs which you can walk from the lodge, exactly what you want when you are at Santo Antão. The location is a bit remote, what makes the place very quiet and peaceful.
