5-star luxury hotel between the sea and the mountains

Built on the site of an old sugar cane mill, this was taken as the inspiration for the luxury hotel’s décor by acclaimed local interior designer Nini Andrade Silva. Large photographs of sugar cane cover the walls while historic alembic metalwork decorates the restaurants. Against the backdrop of the sugar cane theme is a stylishly designed, contemporary resort with Andrade Silva’s trademark dark interiors.

Rooms are modern and comfortable, with the majority offering spacious and private balconies with stunning views over the Atlantic ocean or mountains.

There are three outdoor swimming pools. Including a daringly designed infinity pool which gives the illusion of jutting into the sea, a children’s pool plus a heated indoor swimming pool. Other top spec facilities include a state of the art gym, squash courts, kids play rooms, games room and spa.

The spa is well-equipped with sensory showers, a heated pool and whirlpool tub, treatment rooms specialising in Ila products, and a gym. There is also a squash court and a games room for children.

There are three restaurants and five bars to choose from. Alambique, the à la carte restaurant, specialises in gourmet regional fare with signature dishes such as cured ham with a green asparagus salad and sugar cane caramel, or black scabbard fish wrapped in banana and passion fruit with mashed sweet potato.

The Engenho Restaurant serves daily themed buffets. Trapiche Restaurant, which neighbours the main swimming pool, offers pastas and risottos, salads and snacks.
