ILHA DO MAIO A CAPE VERDE ECO-HOTEL

WHAT IS CAPE VERDE AND MAIO

Located in the Atlantic Ocean 500 miles, off the coast of Senegal, West Africa, is the small independent nation of Cape Verde. As a result of being a colony of Portugal for nearly 500 years, its development was at a snail’s pace until 1975 when Cape Verde received its independence.

Cape Verde is made up of seven main islands with a total land mass of a little over 4,000 square miles. This small nation has no resources such as minerals and oil… however, it is rich in sun, white sand beaches, friendly inhabitants and a stable democratic government.

Of the seven islands there are three “Sun Islands” which possess most of the white sand beaches. There are: Boa Vista, 50 km; Sal 7 km, and Maio nearly 30 km. With such blessings, it is easy to understand why Boa Vista and Sal receive their share of hotels, tourists, and retirement communities but Maio has not as it has until now, Maio is the forgotten island. This is not to imply that Maio is primitive by any means. The island has utilities, a new hospital, and many modern businesses in Vila do Maio, the capital, however, the density of business is disproportional with the rest of the island. With the exception of Casa Blanca (the supermarket in Morro) and a handful of small shops, there are no businesses on the rest of the island. This given foreign businessmen and the retired a grand opportunity to become a part of Maio’s bright future.

At present Maio has a population of about 8,000, the best weather in Cape Verde (average 26°C), the most sunny days, a brief rainy season, long stretches of virginal white sand beaches, and no tourists… because Maio has no tourist hotel as yet!

As the world, Maio has felt the economic, much as did Lanzarote in the Canary Islands in the early ‘70s. Future thinkers that bought into this slow down are multi-millionaires today, or what of the future thinkers that bought into the American stock market a few years back. Today they are reaping the rewards of their perseverance.

Those who are seriously considering buying a retirement, vacation home, or business in an idyllic location, NOW IS THE TIME! Sal and Boa Vista have seen their bargain days. Now it is time for Maio. Don’t miss it!
