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…

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. The staff is very friendly, helpful and flexible.read less - 27/09/2023

We had our own little house with privacy from the other guest houses, our own terrace, great breakfast and the best optional dinner with local products which was very digestible. They also take much care of special food needs (allergies, vegetarians..). They care about local food. There is a beautiful, very well cared for garden on the property including a pond with fishes and frogs, too. you can swim in it and cool down! You can get around by aluguers (group taxis) or, if you want to be independent, rent a car (we recommend 4x4 cars to explore the island fully, it's worth it!).The staff is very attentive, polite and helpful! Absolut full recommandation, a stay you shouldn't miss out!read less - 20/09/2023

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

Das Personal ist bemüht und engagiert. Man muss sich bewusst sein, dass es sich um eine Öko Lodge handelt. Die Zimmer werden einmal pro Woche gereinigt. Die Wäsche ebenfalls dann gewechselt. Aufgrund des feuchteren Klimas hätte dies unserer Meinung nach regelmässiger sein können. Es gibt einige einheimische Insekten rund um das Häuschen und gelegentlich auch im Zimmer. Insgesamt hat es sehr gut gefallen!read less - 09/09/2023

Tolle Oase in den Bergen, guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, Schwimmteich zur Abkühlung danach. Leckeres Abendessen als Buffett kann dazu gebucht werden. Netter und guter Service. Tipps für Wanderungen gibt es an der Rezeption. Einfaches und sauberes Ferienhaus mit allen was man braucht. - 24/06/2023

Die kleinen Fische knabbern manchmal an den Füßen. Es gibt Sonnenliegen und Hängematten. Leckeres und traditionelles Abendessen als Buffet mit Nachspeise kann nach Belieben jeden Tag gebucht werden. Frühstück ist einfach gehalten. Abends geben die Frösche in kleines Konzert. Tipps für Wandertouren kann man sich bei der Rezeption holen. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff and a great natural pool/pond to rest by at the end of a long day hiking. The breakfast was tasty and the optional dinner for €15 for great value and seems to change each night. The dinner is buffet style with plenty of options to choose from and included tea/coffee and a dessert. There are other restaurants in the village however these are a good 45 minute walk up and down hills so for the sheer comfort of eating near the pool and with the views the hotel offers, it can be beaten. Highly recommended.read less - 05/06/2023
