Hotel Porto da Lua

0 1 2 3 4

Porto da Lua is a small, attractive hotel with a breezy, tropical feel and prime location right on Praia do Forte beach in Brazil's Bahia.

Secluded by palms and lush foliage, Porto da Lua is one of the only properties in Praia do Forte located directly on the beach. The spacious guestrooms are cheerfully decorated with bright colours, tiled flooring and private terraces or balconies where you can swing in a hammock fanned by the cooling ocean breeze.

Rooms also have TVs, ceiling fans and wonderful views through the palms to the beach. There are several larger suites and apartments available.

There’s an airy, tropical feel throughout the building, setting the tone for unhurried days of relaxation. The hotel has a restaurant and bar with the option to dine outside overlooking the beach. Begin the day with fresh fruit and juices, and end with a cocktail and freshly-cooked seafood.
