Experience the first ecolodge in Maio Cape Verde, built on sustainable principles

 

 

Found on the lovely unspoiled  beach of Boca do Morro, Villa Maris is an oasis of serenity.
 
This tranquil sanctuary strives to provide all guests with the best in privacy, peace, and location, and the Cape Verdean motto “No Stress” is met here in all its expectations.
 

A quiet and relaxing place, Villa Maris is a destination where guests can experience the best of nature while also enjoying fine dining and comfortable accommodations. The white stone walkways surrounded by green grass, hibiscus flowers, oleander bushes, and other blooming plants make visitors say Villa Maris is a magical place all year round.

Our village is energy-independent – 100% of the property’s electricity is provided by Renewables Energies: solar and wind power.

A hidden gem location

Morro Beach

Villa Maris is only 5 km away from Cidade do Porto Ingles, 3 km away from the airport, 1 km away from the village of Morro, and with direct access to a secluded, lovely beach fringed by small sand dunes, a very important natural barrier to protect the coastline. 
Here you can enjoy a unique atmosphere of peaceful silence only broken by the crashing waves and the wind.

Many activities

Walking along the beach you can reach Salinas de Porto Ingles, the largest salt lake in the archipelago, where you can admire the unique pink, purple, and white salt mounds.

Escape to your private accommodation to relax, and enjoy the many activities on the hidden island of Maio: make Villa Maris yours for a truly unforgettable holiday. 

 

Family-run village

An eco-responsible place made with love

 

The idea for Villa Maris Ecolodge was born in 2015 from our love for Cape Verde and its people.

Land for the first time in the archipelago in the 2000s, after many years of working in real estate and property management on Sal island, we decided to get away from the mass and aggressive tourism to start enjoying the virgin and unspoiled closed island of Maio.

We are making all efforts to contribute to a new kind of tourism focusing on minimal negative impact on the surrounding environment and maximal positive benefits on the close nearby communities.

The aim of this focus is to create a sense of unity through cultural sensitivity and to raise awareness to our guests on the responsible tourism principles.
