There are hotels in Ponta do Sol, Porto Novo and Paúl, as well as good quality boarding-houses in Ribeira Grande, Tarrafal and other communities. In the more isolated villages, lodging is possible with local residents.
Here are just a few that we can offer:
Aldeia Manga- Eco Lodges **
Aldeia Manga is nestled in the middle of the Paúl-valley. If you want to relax on your holiday and stay in a tranquil, stress-free environment then there are few places more natural than the Aldeia Manga.
In a setting of papaya, mango, sugar cane and monkey bread fruits sits a collection of houses and bungalows. Built out of stone and adobe, these traditionally styled properties are clean and comfortable.
There is a natural swimming pond nearby and the area is a wonderful starting point for walks, trips and hikes into the verdant valley of Paul. Along the way, you’ll be passing through some of the local villages where you can enjoy a taste of Cape Verdian culture.
