Maio Island

"The Hidden Secret of Absolute Tranquillity"

Over het eiland

Maio is a flat, peaceful island that seems to have stood still in time. Ideal for those looking to escape mass tourism, it offers deserted beaches of fine golden sand surrounding almost the entire island. The silence is interrupted only by the breaking of the waves and the singing of birds in its vast acacia woods.
