Vila Selvagem

Villa Sauvage

Overlooking the beach of Pontal do Maceio, Vila Selvagem is a haven of peace nestled on the edge of a genuine fishing village. 24 rooms skillfully blending contemporary art and Brazilian craftsmanship face vast expanses of sand and dunes proudly displaying the famous "jangadas" of the lobster fishermen. Its name, "wild villa", sets the tone; you will be immersed in a genuine fishing village lining up their impressive jangadas on an unspoiled seafront. The understated and elegant rooms provide a setting for contemporary art works, hand-picked by the owner, and welcome guests in search of relaxation, good food and immersion in local culture. Located on the seafront, the restaurant, run by the owner's son, offers original Franco-Brazilian cuisine to gently discover the delicious flavours of Brazil's Northeast. A swimming pool and spa complete the atmosphere of the Vila, much to the delight of hedonists and adventurers who have set off by buggy, horse or boat to discover "wild" Brazil...
