What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
It’s a bold move in a country where the term ‘luxury’ is typically associated with imported products.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set deep in the Mantiqueira Mountains, the 700-acre estate borders protected Atlantic rainforest, freshwater springs, and rugged hiking trails.
The rooms
Standalone villas and ridge-facing suites feature native jacaranda wood, fireplaces, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing misty mountain valleys.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor isotonic pool looks out at the mountains, and a dark-tiled swimming pool sits on the outdoor deck.
The spa
Curved wooden loungers face full-height forest views, and treatments draw on native and Afro-Brazilian herbal healing rituals.
Sauna and gym
A glass-walled sauna looks across misty mountain ridges, and the timber-floored fitness studio faces straight into the trees.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Restaurante Mina cooks with herbs and vegetables grown on the estate, served beside a suspended central fireplace.
How it began
São Paulo architect Candida Tabet spent nearly a decade constructing the lodge using local river boulders and chocolate slate.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
