The Barracuda

Tucked away

A place apart: the property is the destination.

Trails lead down to the surf at Praia do Resende, with quiet coastal waterways and mangrove channels waiting nearby.

The Barracuda

The rooms

Suites frame coastal views through flowing white drapes, featuring polished concrete floors, auburn timber ceilings, and private ocean-facing verandas.

The open-air restaurant serves fresh local seafood to the sound of vinyl records, and the rooftop bar pours sunset caipirinhas.

How we rate hotels.

The medals

Gold

Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.

Silver

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.

Bronze

They did this well. You’ll notice.

Listed

A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.

The eight vibes

Design

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Luxe

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

Local

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

Social

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

Heritage

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.

Wellness

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.

Central

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

Quiet

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

Secluded

A place apart: the property is the destination.
