Rifóles Praia Hotel & Resort

On Natal’s Ponta Negra waterfront, this beach resort sits steps from Ponta Negra Beach and minutes from Dunes Park, the Craft Fair of Ponta Negra and the Natal Convention Center. A family-friendly spot with easy access to local shops, nightlife and the city center.

Rooms are modern and spacious with private balconies or lanais, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and minibars. Expect sea or city views, goose-feather comforters and thoughtful touches like complimentary toiletries and hairdryers. The vibe mixes luxury resort polish with relaxed beach energy.

Soak in multiple outdoor pools (including a kids’ pool), stretch out on sun terraces with loungers and parasols, or unwind in a full-service spa with sauna, hot tub and steam room. There's a gym, massage services, table tennis, bike options, an arcade/game room and a beauty salon — perfect for wake-up sea-breeze mornings or slow, sunlit afternoons.

A 24-hour business center and a 3,100 sq ft conference center with meeting rooms make events easy. Express check-in, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, free self-parking and property-wide Wi‑Fi keep you connected and on schedule.

Two on-site restaurants — including Palhoca — a lobby bar, poolside bar and a café serve local flavors and casual resort fare. Room service is available during limited hours, and the hotel hosts a weekly Welcome Cocktail by the pool. There's also a wine cellar for quieter evenings and coffee lovers.
