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 !

Einfache Unterkunft mit Ausblick übers Paultal. Sehr nettes Personal. Lecker Frühstück und Abendessen. Die Zimmer sind einfache Hütten. Nachts weht zum Glück der Wind das Tal hinauf. Unterkünfte sind sauber. Naturschwimmteich zum Abkühlen.

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
