An ideally-located hotel with a large pool and tranquil ambience inspired by traditional Brazilian ranches.

Sanma has an excellent location within walking distance of Iguaçú Falls National Park, only 2km from the airport.

Set in its own small reserve, Sanma’s low-rise design, natural setting and extensive grounds makes it an appealing and relaxing base for exploring the falls and surrounding rainforest.

Compact guest rooms have a clean, minimalist style, well-equipped with the essentials, while larger family suites are also available.

The large outdoor swimming pool and terraced area has sunbeds, a hot tub, pool bar and tennis court. For dining and entertainment, the hotel also offers two restaurants and a piano bar.

There are woodland walks in the hotel grounds to the river, and the nearby Bird Park is worth visiting, an opportunity to walk through aviaries and observe a plethora of tropical birds.

Sanma is across the road from the heliport, near the international airport and the falls themselves are within a 15-minute drive.
