Hotel Lagoa E Mar Camacari

Recover on the mile long sandy beach and relax in the nearly all-year warm sea at "one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil" (magazine GEO, Spain) in Praia de Jauá with its miles long beaches. The beach of Jauá is situated north of Salvador da Bahia at the 'Estrada do Coco' surrounded by snow like white dunes. It is very popular. At some parts reefs form natural pools when the tide is out allowing to swim even by high waves. The southern beaches are almost deserted and invite you to extensive wanderings.

The Hotel LAGOA e MAR (we speak English, German, Spanish and Portuguese) is situated in a tropical garden on the banks of a natural lake and consists of twelve spacious circular bungalows. The complex has a swimming pool with a separate pool for small children, sun terrace (with bedchairs and sunshades), bar with reading-room, playground and a restaurant. We have internet access and fax.

Each bungalow (suite) contains a bedroom with double bed (king size), fan and TV, a living room with two couchbeds, radio and refrigerator, a bathroom with WC and shower and a veranda complete with a hammock, a table and seats, offering enough room for up to three adults.

Four bungalows are specially adapted for people with wheel chairs.
