Overlooking a peaceful bay, Picinguaba’s nine rooms open up to the surrounding forests and the sea. This is a place to experience true seclusion, without the distractions of everyday nuisances. No Internet, no television, no telephone. Just the sound of the waves gently lapping the shore. The hotel strives to be hyperlocal—each of the rooms features unique artwork by Brazilian artists, and most of the staff is from a local village.
