“The best of nature, for those who want the best of life”

This perhaps could be the best translation for the Kiaroa Eco-Luxury Resort – name inspired in a black pearl from the French Polynesia. Located at Barra Grande, Maraú Peninsula, southern coast of Bahia state, Brazil. Nature was very generous and provided us with one of Brazil’s most beautiful and undiscovered regions. Located in the Camamu Bay, Brazil’s 3rd largest bay, the Marau Península is one of the few places which still preserves an untouched area of Atlantic jungle, in addition to desert beaches, natural swimming pools and reefs, coconut trees, mangroves and sweet water rivers.
