The Resort
Amid tropical greenery, home to iguanas and brightly coloured birds, a Resort that combines African exoticism with South American exuberance.
A vast array of activities await you on this island, just an hour's boat ride from Salvador da Bahia.
The fine sandy beach is the perfect place to dance the night away to the wild rhythms of the samba and Bahian percussions, before returning to your cosy bungalow in its tranquil location in or near the coconut grove.
Beach
This public beach is a 300-yard stretch of fine sand. Thanks to the gently sloping sea floor the coral barrier can be reached withougt going out of your depth (we advise you to wear shoes to walk through the water because of the coral). The tide goes out a long way (around 200 yards.)
This beach is equipped with deckchairs and showers.

Built in the local style, the bungalows are in perfect harmony with the Samba spirit, grouped in 10 different sectors, painted in bright oranges and yellows. All the bungalows are in quiet locations, close to the centre of the Resort..
Club Room
