Discover the most authentic and peaceful island of Cape Verde.

Maio is still untouched, far from mass tourism, here time slows down between endless beaches,

colorful villages and genuine smiles.

Along the way, we’ll meet local artisans, community bakeries, fishermen repairing their nets on the shore…

small moments that make Maio truly special.

What we’ll visit during the tour:

1) Unspoiled beaches like Morro and Praia da Ponta Preta, long stretches of golden sand where the ocean meets silence

2)Traditional villages such as Calheta and Ribeira Dom João, where daily life follows the rhythm of rural Africa

3) Alcatraz village , Pilão Cão and Pedro Vaz where silence and peace reign.

4) Hidden viewpoints, perfect for stunning photos between dunes and sea

5) Acacia forests and natural salt flats, showing the harmony between people and nature.

Lunch will be organised in a typical reaturant, you can choose whether to eat fish, meat or vegetables.

From the moment we set off, the pace felt relaxed yet full of discovery. We visited hidden beaches, climbed to panoramic viewpoints, and wandered through vibrant local villages. Our guide shared stories about Cape Verde’s history and culture, making every stop feel personal. By the time we returned, I felt I’d seen the island’s heart—not just its highlights.
