Morro de São Paulo
Morro de São Paulo is a must for who wants to discover one of the most beautiful areas of Bahia's coast, Tinharé island (which inclues Garapuá and Biopeba). It is also one of the most desirable destination between New Year's Eve. and Carnival.
A small cosmopolitan town full of surprises, five and a half miles form the hotel (15 minutes with the shuttle). Our shuttle comes and go several times a day and in the evening, so that you can enjoy shopping, restaurants and Morro's night life.

Natural pools
The "Enchanted Beach" is protected by a coral reef which forms, at low tide, natural pools between the corals. There, you'll be able to observe a wide variety of small colorful fish, as well as octopus and crayfish in their natural surroundings, and you will do so, practically without leaving the hotel!

Garapua—a fishermen village
With a mile and a half of deserted beach, Garapuá, a quiet fisherman village, offers unforgettable sights; fisher boats with their nets on the beach, natural pools, a tiny church and a few houses proposing sea food or a delicious fish cooked in a banana leaf. The journey is an easy one and can be done by foot or on horse back. If you prefer, you can also hire a guide, native from Garapuá.
