Description
Toca da Coruja has a wonderfully secluded setting amongst 25,000 square metres of lush tropical gardens, just outside Pipa village. The pousada's bungalows are designed in a very comfortable rustic-style, with charming local touches and all overlooking the gardens, which attract many exotic birds and even the odd iguana.
There are 2 swimming pools, one of which is 25 metres long, and an open air restaurant and bar, where delicious breakfasts and regional Brazilian cuisine are served.
The pousada is located approximately 15-20 minutes walk from Pipa beach, which has a simply spectacular setting overlooked by pink-tinged cliffs. If you are lucky you may even be able to swim with the local dolphins who often come to play in these waters. From here it is also possible to arrange buggy rides, hiking, kayaking, boat trips and fishing excursions.
