Villa Bahia

The Fasano Sao Paulo is simply a world class hotel, with an understated style, complete luxury and impeccable service throughout.

Located in Jardims, just off of the famous shopping street of Oscar Freire, there’s much to do in the immediate vicinity (an important consideration in a city of this scale).

The Fasano’s facilities are all top class, with a spa, a bar and two restaurants which are among the very best in the Sao Paulo (the Fasano family, built their reputation on their restaurants before moving into hotels).

All the rooms in the Fasano have been decorated with a real eye for quality; every item, fixture and fitting has been carefully sourced and the rooms are extremely comfortable and spacious.

All in all, the Fasano Sao Paulo is a class act throughout.

One of Rio de Janeiro's finest beachfront hotels

Nestled within Brazil’s Iguassu National Park, a sprawling 185,000-hectare forest reserve home to the majestic jaguar, lies Belmond Hotel das Cataratas. Walking out of the lobby you can immediately hear the thunder of the falls, enveloped by lush tropical rainforest. Your stay here supports vital environmental preservation efforts, with over 9 million reais donated by the hotel to the park. In homage to the ‘Jaguars of Iguassu’ project, indulge in the hotel’s signature drink, a vibrant blend of organic cachaça, tangerine, sugar and passion fruit, playfully echoing the jaguar’s iconic spots.

Begin each day surrounded by the sights and sounds of a tropical haven. Here, the soothing Portuguese-inspired design lends each room and suite a timeless elegance. You’ll find yourself luxuriating amid bright, handcrafted textiles and local artworks. With high ceilings and hard wood furniture, the junior suites are welcoming and comfortable, while the pool suites serve as a personal oasis, and the Cataratas suites boast breathtaking views from panoramic balconies.

Discover more about the indigenous Guarani culture as you study the fascinating nights skies with expert astronomer Janer Vilaça, and allow yourself to experience a deeper connection with the universe. There are also full moon tours to witness the lunar rainbow, a sight not seen by many. When it comes to witnessing the might of the falls themselves, a speed boat ride is not to be missed. Your journey starts with a Jeep ride through the forest before boarding your boat downriver. The views of The Three Musketeers and Devil’s Throat are truly memorable.

After a day of exploring the falls, find a spot to relax with a drink in the large pool area. Then settle in at Restaurant Y where ingredients and techniques from across Brazil are combined to created contemporary dishes inspired by the park.

Rising from the Pantanal – Brazil’s enormous wetland, Casa Caiman beckons guests to discover a land of immense biodiversity. This former farmhouse has been renovated into 18 suites.
