Hotel review

Set on a breathtaking stretch of Brazil’s northeastern coast, Carmel Taíba offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Interiors are minimalist with maximum comfort, with earthy tones, wooden accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame stunning ocean views. The resort features 36 spacious villas and suites, some with private pools, a serene spa and an infinity pool that blends into the horizon. Food is a highlight, from top-quality regional dishes at Carmel’s restaurants to a beautifully plated meal floated to you in the pool. The cocktail list is just as tempting, with lychee martinis and upmarket caipirinhas. For those seeking activity, Taíba’s world-class waves attract windsurfing champions, while the surrounding sand dunes provide a stunning backdrop for exploration. Guests can take advantage of the hotel’s free bicycle rentals to discover the coastline at their own pace. A dreamy escape for couples and families craving both tranquility and adventure.
