Villa Maris Ecolodge

A peaceful eco-friendly accommodation by the sea located.

Villa Maris Ecolodge is a true haven of peace and sustainability in the heart of the island of Maio — Cape Verde’s first ecolodge, designed for those seeking relaxation in complete harmony with nature. Located on the stunning and almost deserted beach of Boca do Morro, this place is much more than just accommodation: it is a sensory experience where the Cape Verdean motto “No Stress” is lived in every moment, with the sound of the waves and the tropical breeze setting the pace of the days.

Nature, Comfort and Sustainability

Villa Maris was born in 2015 out of our family’s love for Cape Verde and its people. After years on the island of Sal, we chose the serenity of Maio to create an authentic retreat, promoting a genuine encounter between cultures.

Between the dunes and the ocean

Just a few minutes from Porto Inglês, Villa Maris offers direct access to a deserted beach surrounded by dunes, ideal for both relaxing and exploring the island’s beauty and experiences.

Moments that Connect

Here, every moment is an opportunity to live with complete authenticity. From surf to hiking through villages and natural parks, each experience combines adventure, culture, and contact with local life.
