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 !

Ein absolut hübsches Paradies. Wenn man sich vorher informiert, weiß man was einen erwartet und man kann alles genau so genießen wie es ist. (Kl. nerviges Detail: Der Nachbarhund, der 2 Tage und Nächte durch gekläfft hat 🫣)

Heerlijk, kleinschalig en rustig Prachtige lokatie, schitterend uitzicht. Vriendelijke en behulpzame staf. Prima ontbijt en 's avonds kun je voor 15€ pp. aanschuiven voor het diner. Kamers zijn ruim, maar wat sober ingericht. Iets meer aandacht voor aankleding maakt de totaalbeleving nog beter.

Santo Antão is the most beautiful island of Cabo Verde.|I’d like to recommend this amazing place to stay—quiet, surrounded by nature, nestled among palm and fruit trees. It features a natural pool with soft, warm water. You’ll sleep in a simple but charming bungalow and wake up to a breathtaking view of Paul Valley, the greenest part of the island.| Great hospitality, very helpful, warm, friendly and carefull staff.|Big thank you for you all!| However, this place isn’t for everyone, so please read carefully the website before booking.||I love this place!
