Hotel Vila Naia

Vila Naiá is in a class of its own. We’ve traveled widely and eaten our way around, but the food here, prepared by amazing chefs, was spectacular every time. Our Yellow Bungalow had so much character, and the long beach walks, beautifully scented linens, and understated luxury all stayed with me. The whole team was thoughtful. Helen quietly coordinated everything and was like a guardian angel, always caring and finding solutions, even though we never met in person. Jefferson was a huge help, and Mauricio's kindness and smile were wonderful. Every team member deserves a mention. At first, we weren't sure whether the complete disconnect was what we needed. The drive from Porto Seguro was very long, about 3.5 hours, and we'd recommend the helicopter. But when we opened the bungalow windows the next morning, we fell in love. Vila Naiá feels like both home and another world, a little piece of paradise. I can't recommend it enough.

The quiet, nearly empty private beach was the best part for relaxing. Getting to the hotel is a bit tricky, but it feels worth it. The rooms are clean and comfortable, decorated to fit into the natural surroundings, and the bathroom is clean with decent space. The staff are great and always ready to help.

The beach right in front of the hotel is heavenly, and the place itself is beautiful. It’s a long way from everything, but that’s part of what makes it special. The staff were incredible.

Hard to put into words.
