Description
Fazenda da Lagoa has a wonderful setting, nestled in a protected coconut plantation between a 4km stretch of private beach and a 30-hectare fresh water lagoon. As it sleeps a maximum of just 28 guests and is far from the tourist trail, Fazenda da Lagoa is the perfect place to relax and unwind in privacy. The property has a very relaxed Cape Cod atmosphere with an open living plan and special touches to make you feel at home.
There are 14 spacious and airy bungalows with lush tropical surroundings and uninterrupted views of the sea. Each bungalow has a deck with a hammock, a private bathroom and terrace with an open air shower. Activities on offer include hiking, picnics at the hotel’s private lagoon, rafting, riding, cycling, kayaking and surfing.

When to travel
Temperatures in Bahia vary little from month to month and it's warm all year round, with average highs hovering around 30°C. April to July is the wettest season (though it can rain at any time) and June to September bring slightly cooler evenings. Salvador goes mad during Carnaval (February or March depending on the year) - more than 2 million party-goers hit the streets for a colourful riot of dancing and drinking - expect prices to hike and availability to fall dramatically.
