As an incredible natural swimming pool, with colourful fish, Taipu de Fora, is one of the most beautiful beaches of Brazil according to the country’s guide “Guía 4 Rodas” , and the ninth best beach of the world according to the Portuguese magazine “Sábado” Taipu de Fora is an ideal place to go snorkelling when the tide is low, and surfing is fine along the surrounding beaches. During the full moon there is a huge red light that rises from the bottom of the sea, inspiring a romantic walk where a dazzling atmosphere defies description. The beauty of this area is different from any other place in the world. Few places of the Brazilian Coast have kept their charm and preserved the local environment. We developed Espaço do Sagüi in this beautiful setting, along with a shopping centre, so that our guests could relax and enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the world. The climate is tropical with an annual average temperature of 28 degrees Centigrade (about 82 degrees Fahrenheit) Taipu de Fora is inside the Maraú peninsula, which is in Camamu Bay. This area has a great variety of landscapes with rare beauty and virgin Atlantic jungle. There are huge coqueirales, desert beaches, rivers, lakes, natural swimming pools of clear water and coral reefs, (grandes mangues), islands, waterfalls, and lots of wildlife. You can discover this paradise by jeep, jardineras rides, walking, snorkelling, scuba-diving and boat trips. It is a region that has recently been developed with ecological tourism in mind. In the villa de Barra Grande, the main town of the peninsula, there are good choices for bars and restaurants, as well as Taipu de Fora's own. Maraú's Peninsula has no banks, or cash dispensers (automatic teller machines), The nearest town is Camamú and it is an agency of the Banco do Brazil, few businesses in Camamú accept credit cards. We remind visitors that the local electric current is of 220v.
