Sundy Beach

Sundy Praia, jungle vibe

Here, the art of living can be summed up in two words: "Leve Leve", which simply means "slowly", each at their own pace. It is this gentleness and tranquillity that one feels when staying at Sundy Praia. Surrounded by tropical vegetation and set back from the beach, Sundy Praia consists of 15 superb tented villas, inspired by the old fishermen's huts that once stood there. Each tented villa is furnished with handcrafted furniture where wood is the primary material, and features its own terrace. The larger villas each boast a lovely private swimming pool. The restaurant offers refined dishes prepared with organic, seasonal produce grown on-site or on neighbouring organic farms. Depending on your mood, you can choose to dine either in the restaurant's magnificent bamboo dining room, by the pool, or with your toes in the sand under the stars, to enjoy the magical and serene atmosphere that emanates from this wondrous location. Sundy Praia is the dream destination for travellers seeking peace and quiet to recharge and unwind in an environment that remains natural and untouched.
