Fodor's Expert Review Tivoli Eco Resort Praia do Forte

Relax in a hammock and contemplate the sea from your private veranda at this chic five-star beachfront resort and wellness center. You'll be within walking distance of the village in case you need more action, but there's a full roster of activities available, including horseback riding, volleyball, kayaking, sailing, and snorkeling. All rooms face the ocean, and a large part of the grounds still has the original Atlantic Forest vegetation that once covered the region.
