Pousada Tutabel

Located in the Castro Alves Square, with an expansive view of the Bay of All Saints, this hotel offers guests sophisticated luxury.

A wonderful lodge set a the wildlife rich Southern Pantanal. This is one of the most protected areas in the Pantanal, meaning the wildlife is more abundant and the flora unspoilt. The star of the show here are the activities which will be entirely personalised for you. You’ll talk with your guide at the beginning of the stay and they’ll help to put a program together for you, based on what you want to see and do. The lodge has just five rooms and is located on a stretch of the Rio Negro, it even has a small river ‘beach’ to relax by. Barra Mansa is probably one of the best places in all of South America to see wildlife.

Far from commonplace in the Brazilian interior, this elegantly restored farmhouse, nestled among the green, set in the foothills of the Mantiqueira mountain range, offers a uniquely enchanting stay. At Ibiti Project (formerly Reserva do Ibitipoca), guests can indulge in the understated luxury of its hotel and spa while enjoying diverse wildlife expeditions, horseback riding, water rafting and bespoke excursions to waterfalls and white sandy river beaches. The hotel’s rustic chic décor is beautifully reflected in its rooms, which are elegantly simple yet exude modern comfort. This is brilliantly juxtaposed with the use of antiques and restored furniture. Vibrant wall hangings and religious icons hint at the farmhouse’s  history and local artisanship. A fenced veranda wraps around one corner of the farmhouse, furnished with inviting rocking chairs, armchairs, and sofas where guests can relax, enjoy breakfast, and take in the views of the surrounding hills and lake. A short stroll across the lawn leads to the hotel’s spacious spa, housed in a converted outbuilding that maintains the main farmhouse’s style. Another lodge within the garden features a sauna and heated outdoor Jacuzzi. The service at Ibitipoca is exceptional, and the staff’s extensive knowledge of the parkland’s rich flora and fauna, including red deer, jaguars, pumas and many native tree species — is sure to impress. Ibiti Project features several lodges for travellers, each designed around unique concepts: Engenho Lodge, Mogol Village and Remote, all offering different experiences of rural life in this stunning part of Brazil.
