Ponta dos Ganchos Resort
Take a trip back in time to bygone Brazil at the unspoilt, remote Ponta dos Ganchos resort. Steeped in tradition and neighboured by quaint fishing villages, this exclusive, award-winning beach resort is located on a privately owned peninsula in the Governador Celso Ramos district. Palatial bungalows are nestled in verdant gardens and rainforest and frequented by hummingbirds, toucans and butterflies. A discreet and chilled out resort, here you design your own schedule and the attentive and charismatic staff will tend to your every whim and desire. For opulence in the wilderness, this is your destination.
The resort’s 25 standalone villas and bungalows exude rustic chic and romance. All are blessed with breathtaking vistas of the Emerald Coast and total privacy, with Jacuzzis taking pride of place on natural decking and saunas with sea views. King size beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, cosy fireplaces and enormous walk in wardrobes ensure that your stay will be supremely comfortable, whilst LCD televisions and Nespresso coffee machines are stylish gadgets. Hammocks, fresh fruit plates and a complimentary mini-bar make it all the more tempting to remain in your blissful bolthole all day long.
All meals are taken on your own terms at Ponta dos Ganchos. Whatever your wishes or requirements, the resorts master chefs will cater to your every desire, with meals served at your leisure. Fresh, organic produce is sourced from the resort’s bountiful gardens, whilst daily fishing trips promise abundant supplies of local oysters and mussels (best washed down with a caipirinha!). Don’t miss the 10 course breakfasts or a romantic island dinner for two.
If you can tear yourself away from the creature comforts within your bungalow, explore the rainforest, coves and beaches nearby. Perfect your serve at the oceanfront tennis courts or get active off-land by choosing from a vast array of watersports available at the resort. Horse riding, whale watching and boat trips are all bookable through the expert concierge. To relax in style head to the resort’s Dior spa and enjoy therapeutic massages at the water’s edge.
