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…

Breathtaking views and very cosy place to stay! The Aldeia Manga Eco Lodge on Santo Antao is a very nice place to stay at. The views are stunning and the food is great! It’s relatively small and cosy! During the dinner and breakfast you connect with other travellers. Every evening we had dinner at the lodge and it tasted so good. They only have a buffet, but thats all fine. Also the contact with the owner, Daniël, was very nice and friendly. We stayed 19 days in Cabo Verde on several islands and stayed 4 at the Aldeia Manga. We wished we stayed more nights!!

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.
