An Authentic Hotel in Maio: Simplicity, Real Comfort and Cape Verdean Soul

There are places that don’t need to pretend to be something else.
Big Game Maio is one of them.

Here you won’t find artificial luxury or staged atmospheres designed to impress. Instead, you’ll find an authentic hotel that reflects the island of Maio: simple, sincere and deeply connected to its surroundings.

The rooms are designed to offer real comfort, the kind that truly matters during a stay: properly working air conditioning, clean and well-kept spaces, and reliable essential services. After a day of sea, wind and sun, what matters most is resting well, without surprises.

The restaurant follows the same philosophy. The cuisine is simple and genuine Italian, with generous, well-prepared dishes made largely from Cape Verdean ingredients. The result is a natural balance between Italian flavours and local products, without excess or artifice.

Common areas express the soul of the island through local paintings inspired by the ocean and marine life, elements that are not just decoration but part of the hotel’s identity. Nothing is placed there by trend or chance.

Big Game Maio is the right choice for travellers seeking a real experience, for those who value substance over appearance, and for anyone who wants to feel like a guest rather than just a passing customer.

Maio is an authentic island.
