introduction to Bahia luxury beach resort in Brazil
Our Bahia luxury beach resort in Brazil provides in all aspects the sensation of well-being and direct contact with nature.
It also offers comfort and services of unquestionable quality, satisfying the most demanding tastes. The facilities offered by the eco resort ensure the satisfaction of its guests.
Its high level of service, 70% of which is provided by a local workforce, is the result of not only continuous training, but, above all, of the fundamental education that the Garcia D'Ávila Foundation provides to the community and neighboring districts. In this atmosphere, you have the opportunity to be in direct contact with nature, surrounded by happy people who work for your well-being at the hotel.
The moments experienced here with family bring high quality of life. Stress is forgotten and it is possible to remember that the small pleasures of life are the most important.
Sapiranga Natural Reserve: Go on an adventure in the tropical rainforest, on trails through the secondary Atlantic Rainforest of the Sapiranga Natural Reserve. Those who are a bit bolder can challenge gravity by going down the breathtaking tirolesa (zip lining). In addition to getting to know the local fauna and flora better, it is also possible to take a relaxing dip in the river.
Ruins of the Garcia D’Ávila Castle: The visit to the Castle, one of the oldest Portuguese constructions of the country, is a true journey back to the beginning of the history of Brazil. Begun in the 16th century, the Garcia D'Ávila Castle is the only feudal building of the Americas.
Canoeing in the Lagoon: Go on an adventure in double kayaks, sailing in the fresh and calm waters of the Timeantube lagoon surrounded by aquatic plants.
Hike to the Mouth of the Pojuca River: Enjoy this absolutely unique hike along the beach and see the area where sea turtles lay their eggs (from September though March). Visit the mouth of the Pojuca River, the southern boundary of the resort, where the river meets the ocean in an incomparable spectacle of beauty.
Bird Watching: While you sail along the Timeantube Lagoon, one of our natural reserves, admire a true explosion of colors and sounds provided by several species of birds that live along the resort.
Diving: Crystal clear waters bordered by 12 kilometers of beach, the rich marine fauna and flora and climate that favors underwater visibility, the resort is, without a doubt, a perfect place to dive. Natural pools, such as those of Papa Gente, that are formed during low tide are ideal for snorkelling. But it's also possible to dive in sites as deep as 35 meters (scuba diving) to see a true underwater spectacle of rich beauty come to light.

how this holiday makes a difference
|
When tourists choose our Bahia luxury beach resort in Brazil, they are not only obtaining the right to take advantage of a large and environmentally-friendly leisure package; they are also helping to propel the sustainable development of a region whose future was redesigned by the construction of the hotel in 1980.
Since the beginning, a rigorous social responsibility policy has inspired and permeated all the activities of the company, directly benefiting its employees and the population of 12 cities of Bahia. Actions for social promotion developed by the eco resort go from the intensive use of a local workforce (70% of its employees live around the hotel), made possible through in-house training programs, to educational projects in the community. Even a specific organization – the Garcia D'Ávila Foundation – which is maintained by resources of the company, has been created to administrate the community projects and guide the urban development of the area without damage to its natural resources. Efforts include small details such as changing local customs that were harmful to the preservation of the natural heritage, with results exceeding expectations. With some of these old local habits ended, such as cutting wood and eating turtle eggs, the resort has become one of the best-preserved natural reserves in the country. With jobs or another source of income related to tourism, its population boosts today a quality of life unimaginable 20 years ago: more than 80% of the families have their own house and electricity, a gas stove and other conveniences. In this context, the action of entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, and members of the community collaborate for projects that carry the characteristics of pioneering and good will. And the result of this marshalling of effort is the attainment of very significant goals in several areas. The PROES (School Equivalency Program) and Semente Project are some examples. These projects aim at the education of the elderly, youth, and children from the Fishermen's Village. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
