Solar Porto de Galinhas  

On Brazil’s famed Praia de Porto de Galinhas — a 4-star oceanfront hotel about 60 km from Recife. Steps from Maracaípe Beach and a short walk to Porto de Galinhas Beach and Merepe, with Muro Alto, Carneiros, Maragogi and Calhetas all within easy reach. The lively Porto de Galinhas Village is roughly 2 km away, where natural reef pools and snorkeling await.

Tucked into a coconut grove with sea-view accommodations and 139 individually decorated rooms, the vibe is cozy, sophisticated and relaxed. Rooms come with pillowtop beds, minibars and LCD TVs; many offer pool or sea glimpses. Ideal for families with small kids or couples seeking a seaside escape. Note: there are no elevators, but 24/7 luggage assistance is available.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and pick your playground: an outdoor pool split into four areas (bar, hydro-massage, kids and adults), a hot tub, and a private stretch of beach with beachside service. Find a seashore massage room, on-site spa treatments, poolside and beach bars, buggy rides and jangada excursions to the natural pools. There’s also an arcade/game room, shuttle service to nearby spots (surcharge), and free self-parking.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, a computer station and express check-in/check-out. Concierge and 24-hour multilingual reception help arrange tours and transfers.

Canoas restaurant serves international cuisine with pool views and seating for large groups, plus a complimentary buffet breakfast daily from 7:00–10:00. Sip cocktails at the beach bar or poolside bar, enjoy 24-hour room service, and take in evening live music and night activities.
