The fact that Corumbau—a sandbar stretching all the way to the horizon in the deep-blue sea—is difficult to reach has preserved a certain exclusivity for the region at the southern tip of Bahia. The relaxed chic atmosphere of Fazenda Sao Francisco goes well with the very special Bahia lifestyle. The four spacious bungalows and the six suites on the powdery white beach are finely and elegantly appointed. A coconut grove surrounding the former farm underscores the remoteness. Traveling upstream by boat through the mangroves you reach the Pataxó Indian reservation.
