What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This is one of Brazil’s most exclusive resorts, where eco-tourism meets high luxury — the service and facilities meet the highest possible standards...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bahia's Cocoa Coast surrounds the resort, where rainforest hiking paths link sixteen secluded surf beaches and Itacaré lies twenty minutes away.
The rooms
Bungalows on stilts feature piaçava thatch, mosquito-netted beds, and wraparound decks, with private plunge pools in select premium categories.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Swimming pools are scattered across the estate, including a 50-meter lap pool and a hilltop pool overlooking the ocean.
The spa
Open-air stone pavilions look out to sea, offering steam baths, reflexology, and traditional seven-herb purification cleanses.
At the table
Open-air tables serve Bahian seafood stews under wooden pergolas, and the beach bar mixes artisanal cachaça cocktails.
How it began
Built on a former cocoa and coconut farm, the estate sits within an environmental protection area safeguarding local sea turtle nesting grounds.
