Overview
A beachfront bungalow resort on Muro Alto
Nannai is a beachfront bungalow resort on the calm natural-lagoon beach of Muro Alto, in Pernambuco in Brazil's north-east, around eight kilometres from the village of Porto de Galinhas. Around seventy contemporary bungalows — many with private plunge pools — open to gardens or the sea, with sea-facing units adding a living room and dressing area, alongside main-building rooms as a further tier. A multi-pool 'Grand Pool' complex, jacuzzis and a children's pool spread across the grounds, while a full spa runs couples' rooms, a sauna and a Turkish bath. Two sea-view restaurants handle the dining — the all-day Nannai with a tropical buffet and a la carte on a veranda over the water, and the seasonal TiaTe at sunset — with a beach and pool bar between the sand and the pools. Water sports, tennis and a kids' club give it a strong family side alongside the seclusion couples come for, and Recife is around thirty-four to fifty-four kilometres away. It runs on a bed-and-breakfast base with further board options to confirm at booking — a relaxed, do-it-all beach resort on one of the calmest stretches of the Pernambuco coast.

Brazil
Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa
Uxua Casa is a Wilbert Das-designed bohemian-luxury hideaway on and around Trancoso's UNESCO-protected Quadrado, the hilltop colonial square above the Atlantic. Around ten individually styled casas — restored 500-year-old fishermen's houses, garden casas, a recycled-wood treehouse and a rooftop-pool casa — brim with Bahian art, salvaged antiques and Pataxó craft, most with a kitchen and several with private plunge pools. An aventurine-lined garden pool, an organic spa and a beach bar pouring drinks from a salvaged fishing boat make authenticity and design the luxury.

Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro
The Grand Hyatt Rio is a contemporary urban beach resort on Barra da Tijuca's eleven-mile beachfront, set between the Atlantic and the Marapendi lagoon reserve, with interiors by Yabu Pushelberg. All 436 rooms come with a large private balcony and ocean or lagoon views, deep soaking tubs and rain showers, from around 70 square metres. A central outdoor pool with a wet deck steps toward beach service, a nine-room spa runs saunas and steam, and three Arthur Casas restaurants — Italian, the Shiso sushi room and more — handle the table. The modern, spacious counterpoint to Copacabana Palace and Santa Teresa.

Belmond Copacabana Palace
The Belmond Copacabana Palace has faced Copacabana Beach since 1923 — an Art Deco palace counted among the grandest hotels in South America. Around 239 rooms and suites in freijó and mahogany carry pink-and-white Brazilian-marble baths and soundproofing, from around 26 square metres up to penthouse suites. Its heated outdoor pool is the social heart of the place, the dining is acclaimed, and seven sixth-floor penthouse suites — full of antiques and butler-served — share a private pool over the beach.
