Fasano Boa Vista
Porto Feliz, Brazil
Vibe
Twin wood stoves, mid-century armchairs, and raw granite anchor a modernist retreat set against preserved forest and quiet lakes.
“Modernist ranch hideaway”
Isay Weinfeld architecture pairing raw granite slabs, brick, and bleached wood against floor-to-ceiling lake views.
A vast country estate featuring two championship golf courses, equestrian polo fields, tennis courts, and fourteen lakes.
Attentive country club hospitality, Egyptian cotton linens, private terrace fireplaces, and dedicated direct helipad transfers.
On the Fazenda Boa Vista estate in Porto Feliz, surrounded by native forest and private lakes.
“It starts with the design, in the unmistakable modern-Brazilian idiom of Isay Weinfeld — there’s plenty of natural wood and stone, but the result is anything but rough-edged.”
Rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding hills, while private terraces feature built-in fireplaces and views across the water.
“Crisp-white walls and panoramic windows flood every room with light, not to mention dead-on views of the rolling hills and lakes.”
Wellness
An outdoor infinity pool overlooks the landscape, accompanied by indoor heated pools, cold plunges, and a stone reflexology path.
“the resort boasts the amenities of the other five-star Fasano properties, including their attention to culinary detail.”
Eat & drink
Restaurante Boa Vista serves farm-to-table Italian dishes using estate-harvested produce, alongside Saturday feijoada and evening sourdough pizzas.
The neighborhood
The private estate unfolds across fourteen lakes, offering two championship golf courses, equestrian polo fields, and forest trails.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
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.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
