An eco-responsible place made with love
The idea for Villa Maris Ecolodge was born in 2015 from our family 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
