Fodor's Expert Review Kenoa

Brazil's first eco-design resort, this remarkable property provides high-end luxury while maintaining its dedication to the preservation of nature and the local culture. Walls are plastered in gray mud rather than paint, paper bags replace plastic, and sink basins are carved from fallen trees. Many of the private bungalows have individual access to the deserted, white-sand beach and secluded dipping pools. Lounge by the infinity pool in the blazing sun before exploring the hotel's impressive spa. Gourmet Portuguese classics are served in the stunning dining room, with eucalyptus trunks rising up from the floor below, or under the stars on the rooftop terrace.
