Hotel in Maio, Cape Verde | Authenticity and Comfort – Big Game Maio

In Maio, luxury is not about ostentation, but about simplicity done well. Big Game Maio is an authentic hotel, in harmony with the island, designed for those who want to experience Cape Verde genuinely: without excess, but with all the comfort that truly matters.

We have chosen local materials, clean lines, and colorful paintings that reflect the sea, the sand, and island life. Every detail is consistent with the place, making you feel part of Maio rather than just a passing guest.

Our rooms are comfortable, air-conditioned, and meticulously maintained for cleanliness and hygiene. They are bright, quiet, and designed for rest after days filled with sun, wind, and ocean.

Here you won’t find manufactured luxury, but comfort, care, and a true connection with the place we call home.
