Marau Beach Cottage
Bahia, Brazil
Nestled in 12 Acres of Tropical Forest
This charming cottage inhabits a stunningly beautiful and remote location well off the beaten track. We like the simple laid-back living style and the lush and private property where you can pluck your breakfast right from the tree!
Located at Praia do Cassange along the Peninsula de Maraú, this charming cottage is nestled into a quiet and remote setting overlooking beautiful gardens, coconut trees, and miles of pristine beaches. Backed by rare Atlantic tropial forests and lakes, there are over 12 acres of completely private and secluded tropical forests that envelope you. Built on a hillside overlooking the ocean, you are just a short stroll to the beach, the nearby tide pools and miles of jungle trails.
All of the rooms inhabit the upper floor with high vaulted ceilings and bright and airy interiors that are homey and casual with great handcrafted details. The large kitchen and eat in dining area can serve up to six inside or out on the terrace under the trees. There are two large bedrooms that can accommodate up to four guests and one shared bath.
The grounds are your own private oasis where you can lounge in the hammocks or venture across to the largely deserted expanse of pristine beach.
Lush and peaceful, this is an unbeatable spot to enjoy the tranquil beauty of the Bahian coast.

AROUND
Known for its pristine beaches, tropical forests and mangrove lagoons, the district of Marau sits along the south eastern coast of Bahia State. The ocean front peninsula stretches for miles from the town of Marau and on to Barra Grande at the furthest point. Just 20 minutes away, the former fishing village of Barra Grande is now a small resort destination and has largely remained preserved in time with miles of beaches and simple surroundings. Local bars and restaurants offer fresh caught and sourced seafood and laid back entertainment. The smaller villages of Saquaíra, Taipus de Fora (with one of the finest beaches in the area)and Algodões are near to the protected nature preserve and islands of Camamu Bay. You can rent a boat or recreational vehicle to enjoy Camamu Bay or take off to many of the other distant beaches dotted along the vast peninsula to enjoy the best surfing, snorkeling and beachcombing.
