Why we love

  • Wildlife & Conservation
  • Pantanal Biome
  • Under-the-Radar Region

“One of the most complete ways to experience the wild scale of the Brazilian Pantanal.”

Caiman is one of the pioneers of ecotourism in the Brazilian Pantanal, combining hospitality, conservation and ranching across a vast private refuge. Safaris focus on jaguars, giant anteaters, capybaras and the extraordinary birdlife of the region, while horseback riding and conservation projects bring guests closer to the culture and ecology of the Pantanal itself. It is as much a conservation project as it is a hotel.

Kenoa Resort

Hotel

South America, Brazil

From $745

Kenoa Resort sits between tropical vegetation and the warm, Caribbean-like waters of Alagoas, one of Brazil’s most striking coastal regions. The architecture is contemporary and sculptural, with natural materials, strong geometric lines and open spaces that keep the landscape constantly in view. With only 23 suites and villas, the hotel remains intimate, combining panoramic sea views, private pools and direct beach access with a strong design identity.

Casa Siará

Hotel

South America, Brazil

From $850

Casa Siará sits directly on Praia do Preá, pairing contemporary Brazilian architecture with one of Ceará’s most elemental landscapes: constant wind, an uninterrupted Atlantic horizon and a beach that seems to run forever in both directions. Designed by architect Miguel Pinto Guimarães, the hotel takes inspiration from fish scales in its curved forms and opens almost entirely toward the outdoors, while large 60 m² suites, pools, spa, tennis courts and a dedicated kite school make it especially strong for longer stays. The setting is the real draw, though — mornings begin with the sea in front of you, afternoons belong to the trade winds, and sunset turns the whole coastline gold.

Casana

Hotel

South America, Brazil

From $1,950

Casana is an ultra-intimate beachfront retreat on Praia do Preá, with just seven bungalows spread across a 10,000-square-metre property facing the Atlantic. The hotel leans into the wildness of Ceará rather than fighting it: palm trees, constant trade winds, pale sand and wide-open sea sit alongside private pools, an infinity pool, spa and polished contemporary interiors. Preá is one of Brazil’s great kitesurfing destinations, and Casana has its own dedicated kite school, making the experience as much about being on the water as disappearing into a very private beach house.

UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa

Hotel

South America, Brazil

From $480

UXUA occupies a collection of casas around Trancoso’s historic Quadrado, including homes that date back hundreds of years and were restored by former Diesel creative director Wilbert Das with local artisans. Furniture, lighting and decorative pieces are made by craftspeople from the region, while tropical gardens and open-air living preserve the informal rhythm of the village. The result is unmistakably Brazilian, sophisticated without polishing away the history and handmade character that make Trancoso so particular.
