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 !

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...

4 star rating Schlicht und einfach Die letzten Meter hierher geht es zu Fuß und bergauf. Alles ist schlicht und einfach. Bungalows ohne Schnickschnack mit allem Nötigsten und jeweils eigener kleiner Veranda mit tollem Ausblick. Am kleinen, mit schwarzer Folie ausgekleideten Pool stehen Liegestühle zum Füße hochlegen. Ein "Naturpool" ist das nicht. Frühstück und Abendessen mit lokalem Einschlag ist lecker und reichlich. Die Preise sind moderat, die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter sind hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir hätten noch ein, zwei Tage bleiben können.

Wat een machtig mooie plek. Leuke kamers (huisjes) in een prachtige vallei. Het lokale buffet en ontbijt zijn ok voorzien, wel wat duurder dan lokale restaurantjes. De verantwoordelijke was niet erg vriendelijk, maar dat heeft onze trip niet beïnvloed.

Hemos pasado 3 días increíbles. Estar alojado en mitad del valle ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. Además, el trato de las chicas que trabajan en la cocina y recepción hace que la estancia sea todavía más agradable. ¡Muy recomendable!

Prachtige locatie, basic kamers. Personeel totaal geen interesse. We hadden twee overnachtingen helaas werd de kamer niet schoongemaakt, nou is dat niet zo’n probleem, maar ook geen schone handdoeken. Ontbijt oké maar zeer basic. Diner geen idee wat je eet van het buffet. Simpel bordje zou helpen. Zo jammer van zo’n prachtige locatie. Bij het uitchecken ook niet vragen hoe het was. Oh steile trap op naar de pick up plaats voor de taxi. “Kunt u vast zelf, misschien komt de taxi chauffeur u helpen” de twee sterren is een voor de prachtige locatie. Anders een absolute 1-ster.

La casa di Daniel è perfetta. Immersa nel verde della valle di Paul, solo silenzio intorno, animali e rumore del vento.Un’esperienza meravigliosa da vivere con i bambini. Pura pace e relax. In casa c’è tutto il necessario per il bagno e la cucina. I letto sono molto cómodo e l’arredamento è ottimale per il luogo in cui si trova.Tornerò sicuramente.

Très bon accueil par le personnel sur place. Daniel a toujours répondu à nos nombreuses questions et nous a donné de bons conseils. Petit déjeuner bien copieux pour peu que vous arriviez à l’heure du service. Service repas, pique nique et bar sur place. L’environnement du lodge est idyllique, quelle beauté que la vallée de Paul mais pour bon marcheurs. De nombreux taxis collectifs à vila das pombas pour vous conduire sur le chemin des randonnées ou ailleurs. Possibilité de privatiser un taxi sur demande à la réception. Attention pas de taxi collectif les dimanches, possibilité de partager avec les vacanciers du lodge car les prix grimpent vite. Nous sommes enchantés de notre séjour à aldeia manga.
