Casa Vila Do Outeiro  

On Brazil’s sun-soaked coast in Caraíva, a beachfront bolthole at Praia do Espelho just steps from Praia dos Amores and Mirror Beach. Porto Seguro Airport is about 32 miles away and a paid airport shuttle is offered.

A spacious vacation home with 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, an equipped kitchen and a sea-view balcony. Rooms feature satellite flat-screen TVs (and DVD players in some categories), patios with outdoor furniture, and up to four bathrooms with walk-in showers and a bidet.

Dip in an infinity pool with a pool bar, an outdoor pool and a kids pool, or walk straight to the private beach area—wake up to sea-breeze mornings. On-site extras include a massage/beauty room, yoga classes, diving access, a ping-pong area, library, picnic spot, bicycle rental, playroom for children, grocery delivery and a mini-market.

Free Wi-Fi on the property and free private parking keep things easy. A 24-hour front desk and laundry service help with longer stays.

There’s an on-site restaurant plus a pool bar and snack bar for casual bites and drinks. Packed lunches, grocery delivery and mini-market options are available on request.
