PAUL VALLEY, CAPE VERDE

Renowned as a paradise for hikers and nature enthusiasts, the valley offers breathtaking views.

At the last village, served by the only road in the valley, you'll find the Aldea Panoramica eco-lodge, which has a breathtaking 360-degree view. It offers 12 furnished rooms decorated with reclaimed materials, presented as small individual houses, each with a private bathroom and surrounding the large swimming pool. Shower water is repurposed for watering the garden and drinking water is provided free of charge to reduce plastic impact. A sorting system for waste has been implemented.

In the garden and on the panoramic terrace, several spaces are available to enjoy the splendid view. A dedicated space offers relaxing or invigorating massages. The eco-lodge features a spring-water swimming pool with views of the mountains, a roof terrace and a friendly bar serving fresh fruit and rum cocktails made with local fruits. There's a restaurant that serves lunch and dinner, offering creatively prepared local dishes, including traditional Creole cuisine and gourmet options. Live music adds to the ambiance, introducing guests to the island's culture.

Expert advice on hikes and attractions is available, either from the hotel or a multilingual driver. Visitors can explore the island's attractions, including the old road built on the peaks, offering breathtaking views of rivers and valleys.
