The first class, utterly luxurious Kenoa Beach Spa and Resort is an intimate boutique property on a gorgeous stretch of northeast Brazil's Atlantic coastline. 

Romantic Kenoa sits on the silken white sands of northeast Brazil’s sunshine coast, south of the unassuming city of Maceio.  It’s a luxurious boutique property where a couple of dozen  suites and villas blend harmoniously with their tropical setting. All of them have a sea view, while in addition the villas have their own infinity plunge pools from which to admire the aquamarine ocean.

You may well be tempted to spend your whole stay on the property itself, enjoying sumptuous breakfasts, discreet but attentive service and superb facilities. There’s a smart gourmet restaurant, chic open-air bar, fitness room, comprehensive spa and oceanfront pool. If you do feel like venturing out, you may wander along the beach to Barra de São Miguel, a laid back little place which comes alive at weekends and  Carnival. 

Maceió is well connected by road and air with the rest of Brazil. Kenoa itself  is only a 40min drive from the airport but a world away from the urban bustle.
