Village Mata Encantada
 
     
 

15.000 m² nature for a maximum of 24 guests

The Village Mata Encantada is situated on the outskirts of Santo André, a small part of the Santa Cruz Cabrália community, about 30 km (19 miles) north of Porto Seguro in southern Bahia.

"Mata Encantada" means "enchanted forest". Our resort does not apply this name without reason. Imbedded in an original forest with direct access to the beach, there are 4 comfortable houses awaiting our guests. The 15,000 m² (3.7 acres) large and fenced-in Village Mata Encantada consists grossly of original rain forest and ancient trees. Exotic berries directly from the tree, which hotel facility offers such service? Each house has an own garden area of approx. 800 m² (8,600 square foot) with lawn and blooming flowers.

The land plot lies in the nature reserve "APA Santo Antônio" and borders directly on the beautiful beach of Santo André, which not by chance was described by the periodical "Veja" as one of the 13 most exotic in Brazil. Near the beach the pleasantly, inviting to ponder Cabana with large fresh water swimming pool. Another pergola on the beach shades our guests. Hamocks, resting chairs and more fold seating are available across the grounds, inviting our guests to ponder.

Close to the beach you'll find our inviting Cabana and a big pool. Hammocks, deck chairs and comfortable patio sets are spread out over the resort and will invite you to relax.

The waters on the Praia de Itaçimirim also known as Praia das Tartarugas (Turtle Beach) is subdued, thanks to the Reef Recife de Itassimirim and so with bathing is also suitable for families with children. The beach counts to the most beautiful and exotic in Brazil, not only because of the originality but also due to it being almost untouched and undiscovered by the tourist streams.

Thanks to stringent environmental protection, the area could develop a close to nature tourism. We at the Village Mata Encantada follow this idea; e.g. the water heating is operated solely by solar energy and the attendance of the swimming pool is based on UV-light to minimize the use of chlorine as far as possible.
