Ka Bru Beach, Brazil Hotel

Brazil

On the northern tip of the Marau Peninsula, right at the entrance to spectacular Camamu Bay – an inlet of the Atlantic on one side and tropical mangrove on the other – this boutique beach hotel is a small slice of serenity that takes in the best of Brazil. There are just six suites, including one on the top floor with ocean views and a pool suite right on the edge of the water, with the beach a few extra metres beyond. Adding to the sense of privacy, the restaurant feels almost personalised, focused on regional ingredients and serving coffee and cake at 4pm every day.

Experiences beyond the confines of this tropical oasis include boat trips to deserted islands, yoga on the beach, paddleboarding in the bay or scuba diving rainbow corals. A boutique stay that’s truly a world away. Doubles from £145. 00 55 73 8220 8008, kabrubrazil.com
