Luxury holidays in Alagoas

North of Bahia, the state of Alagoas sits on Brazil’s lesser-known northeastern coast. Here, sprawling sugar cane fields and expanses of jungle meet Atlantic-swept coastline, as green blends into blue. The buzzing beachfront of Macéio, the region’s capital, is dotted with jangadas (traditional sailing boats) and relaxed eateries showcasing just-caught seafood. While sunseekers bask on the unspoilt sands of Barra de São Miguel, for the more adventurous, surfing, snorkelling and quad biking will set pulses racing.
