Vila Gale Fortaleza

On Fortaleza’s Praia do Futuro — literally steps from the sand and a short drive to Avenida Beira-Mar. The hotel sits at Av. Dioguinho 4189, about 16 km from Pinto Martins Intl. Airport and minutes from shopping like RioMar and Iguatemi.

A beach hotel with a warm, local edge — decor nods to traditional Brazilian materials like coconut, basketwork and wood. The property has 300 rooms (including family suites and junior suites with living areas), many with private balconies, minibars and flat-screen TVs. Rooms feature air conditioning and rainfall showers; some categories add extras. Families are welcome, with kids club, playground and children’s pool on site.

Two outdoor pools, a kids’ pool, a health club and a full-service spa offering massages and body treatments. Sauna, Turkish bath and Jacuzzi are available (extra charges may apply). There’s a games/arcade room, tennis courts, tour desk and on-site parking. Complimentary wireless internet is available in public areas and rooms. Expect wake-up-to-sea-breeze mornings and easy beach access.

24-hour business center, a conference center and 8 meeting rooms make this a solid pick for events. 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and on-site parking (fees may apply). Complimentary wireless internet keeps work moving.

Four on-site restaurants including Dunas, plus a beach bar, two bars/lounges and two poolside bars. 24-hour room service is available and a complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning from 6:30–10:30.
