Maio Island

Bitxe Rotxa Beach

"An almost complete absence of commercial noise, allowing you to tune in only to the soft sound of waves."

About this Paradise

The primary beach of Vila do Maio, with exceptionally fine golden sand and absolute peace. The water is so clear that you can see small fish swimming around your feet. The vibe is slow, authentic, and relaxing.

How to Get There: Walking distance from the center of Porto Inglês (Vila do Maio).
