MAIO

If you’re searching for peace, authenticity, and untouched beauty, Maio is your island.
Located just a short flight or ferry ride from Santiago, Maio feels like stepping into another world — where time slows down, the beaches stretch endlessly, and the ocean breeze whispers calm.
It’s the perfect escape for travelers who want to disconnect and experience the real Cape Verde.

Maio is blessed with some of the most pristine landscapes in the archipelago.
Golden sand dunes meet turquoise waters, and small fishing villages blend seamlessly with the natural environment.
The island is home to salt flats, acacia forests, and nesting sea turtles that come ashore under the stars.
Here, you can explore untouched nature, enjoy quiet hikes, or simply relax in the shade of a palm tree — far from the crowds.

Despite its peaceful rhythm, Maio has a vibrant local soul.
In the capital Vila do Maio (Porto Inglês), life moves at an easy pace — colorful streets, friendly locals, and cafés where you’ll always be greeted with a smile.
Join a traditional morna night, visit the local artisans, or share freshly caught fish with fishermen on the beach.
Every encounter shows the island’s genuine warmth and deep connection to community.Life & Rhythm
