Overlooking the bay, this magnificent roça has been operating as a hotel since 1995, offering very pleasant, sober but beautifully decorated rooms. If it is still interesting to plan a stop there, you should especially plan to attend the sensory lunch (or dinner) proposed by the artist Joao Carlos Silva. In addition to being a painter, he is also a very good cook, well known in Portugal for his TV shows. A round of tasty dishes will pass before your eyes, accompanied by the master's comments, a real show!

Facing the Santana islet, the hotel has 31 bungalows located on high ground, spread over a huge plot of land that looks like an equatorial forest, with a magnificent view of the sea, for those numbered from 1 to 14. All the jet-set necessarily passes by this small pampered corner, which does not prevent the staff, welcoming, friendly and very helpful, to welcome you as it should be. The restaurant has enjoyed a good reputation for a long time. It serves quality cuisine in a room with a panoramic view. We recommend it!

This lodge is located in a charming setting, in the forest by the sea, with a small private beach well maintained. One feels quickly at home in this place, really like at the end of the world.

The managers provide a professional and warm welcome. In season, it is possible to watch the sea turtles laying their eggs. A small haven of peace!

This ecolodge is the work of the NGO Marapa, which works for the conservation and protection of the environment.
