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…

Aldeia Manga is a little paradise in Paúl, Santo Antão. The location is so peaceful and breathtaking. The staff are super nice and caring. We stayed in Casa Guiné for 6 days. The stay was perfect for us. Lots of hikes recommended by the hosts, we also enjoyed some much needed relaxation time on the property by the natural pool. The food is excellent made from fresh local ingredients. We will definitely come back. Thank you to all Aldeia Manga team for a wonderful stay.

Eine Unterkunft in traumhafter Lage. Die kleinen Bungalows sind sehr einfach eingerichtet, aber die Lage entschädigt für alles. Die Verpflegung war sehr gut, und der Service vor Ort ließ nichts zu wünschen übrig. Für Naturliebhaber eine absolute Empfehlung!

Lieu magnifique, très bon point de vue , seul problématique pour nous après une journée chargée de randonnée , aucun taxi ou autre ne veulent emprunter le chemin sableux qui permet d accéder plus facilement au logement . Unique solution une montée brute pleine de cailloux qui épuise tellement

5 star rating Genießen, leben und innehalten - verliebt in dieses Land Wunderschönes Fleckchen zum entspannen und genießen. Wir wohnten im Haus Papaia und hatten aus dem Schlafzimmer einen Blick in die Natur. Das Haus war groß und bot genug Platz. Vor dem Haus standen unsere Liegen , so dass wir einen separaten Bereich hatten. Der Schwimmteich war erfrischend und nicht kalt. Liebevolles und hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstück mit Obst und frisch gepresstem Saft. Buffet am Abend umfangreich und köstlich zubereitet. Der mojito 👍 keine Mücken , das war super. Wer sich die zusätzliche Mühe macht und ein Stück höher des Weges geht in Richtung Berg findet ein authentisches einheimisches Lokal mit leckeren Speisen. Am ocurral vorbei mit herrlichem Blick auf das Tal

We loved our stay at Papaya house! Watching sunrises in between of the mountains and the ocean every morning from the bed, hiking in the green mountain terraces, observing birds from a hammock and having delicious local meals - it all exceeded our expectations. Frederic welcomed us, offering a number of hiking options of varied difficulty and length, recommending us an excellent restaurant to try on the way, and helping with every question we had. The cafeteria offered delicious healthy meals throughout the day, including fresh local fruit and creatively cooked vegetables. We enjoyed swimming with the fish in the pond, spotting frogs at night and watching birds in the morning. Couldn't recommend it more!
