ALDEIA MANGA
ECO LODGE

A hidden gem in the middle of nature


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 !

Magnifique endroit, entouré seulement de verdure. C’est un lieu très agréable, toute l’équipe a été très chaleureuse. Les repas étaient très bons. Préférez plutôt y accéder en taxi qu’avec une voiture de location si vous voulez vous éviter quelques émotions ;)Un super séjour ! - 18/09/2023

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in der Casa Papaya und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Die gesamte Anlage gleicht einer Oase und vor allem der morgendliche Blick aus dem Fenster in das Paultal verzaubert! - 25/05/2023
