Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set in quiet Santo André, the hideaway is reachable by ferry across the João de Tiba River estuary.
The rooms
Two-story villas feature regional Bahian woodwork, private terraces, and beds dressed in 600-thread Egyptian cotton.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
White parasols and cushioned sunbeds surround the 700-square-meter swimming pool, set between native palms and bright bougainvillea.
The spa
The gym
The open-air timber pavilion holds weight machines and dumbbells, steps from sand courts for beach tennis.
Champions Bar & Lounge
Under a thatched roof, illuminated football imagery and tournament memorabilia line the bar where cocktails are shaken.
At the table
Flor de Caju serves regional Bahian seafood under high timber rafters and glowing woven pendant lights.
How it began

The property was purpose-built as the private training retreat for Germany's victorious 2014 World Cup squad before opening to guests.
