In the know

Our favourite rooms

Of the nine high-ceilinged cabanas, five are positioned on the beachfront, steps from the surf. Book one on either end of this first row for more privacy and uninterrupted views. Each one has been built from sustainable Amazon wood, with palm leaves shaping the 20-foot high roofs. Decor is sparse and simple to emphasise airiness and space.

Packing tips

There are no TVs here, so if you need a distraction beyond the stunning scenery, pack a holiday bookshelf.

Also

If you’re visiting between June and November keep your eyes on the ocean – it’s breeding time for the local whale community and you can usually spot the Jubarte whales gathering around Bahia shores.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Meals are served in a tall wooden building at the centre of the resort. Cuisine is simple local fare, mostly sourced either from the organic vegetable garden or local fishermen’s nets.

Dress code

Laid-back to the point of horizontality.

Top table

Dine alfresco and by candlelight on the decked terrace at the front of the restaurant, with sweeping ocean views.

Last orders

Dinner’s available until 10.30pm.

Room service

Staff will happily bring snacks and drinks to your room between 9am and 10pm.

Hotel bar

There’s no bar, but guests can enjoy drinks in the main building – the terrace outside the restaurant has cosy outdoor sofas, ideal for aperitifs.
