Rancho do Peixe
Praia do Prea, Ceara, Jericoacoara, Brazil
26 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Secluded
Rancho do Peixe, located on the pristine and somewhat remote northern coast of Brazil, started out as the rustic beachfront getaway of a group of windsurfing enthusiasts. These days, there may be wifi access and fine linens on the beds, but the rugged look and convivial spirit survive — and as in the past, the star attraction is the magnificent natural beauty of Jericoacoara national park. Forget Rio-style beach parties or resort amenities — this is a place for poking a straw into a coconut and falling asleep on a beach blanket.
The pousada consists of 26 wooden bungalows made entirely out of locally sourced materials. There are thatched roofs and furnishings constructed from rough-hewn wood, as one might expect, but some of the interior design choices are a pleasant surprise. Over here, a wall covered with whimsical floral fabric in eye-popping shades of poppy red and sunshine yellow, over there, wildflower petals strewn across a bedside table. The sand dunes are literally steps away — just make sure to slip on your flip-flops or you might splinter your toe on the native wood staircase.
The airy, relaxed cocktail bar and restaurant specializes in deliciously fresh fruit cocktails and Brazilian-Mediterranean cuisine. Since you’ll find mostly tropical berries and just-caught fish on your plate, you may feel light enough to take a moonlit dip in the large, inviting swimming pool before retiring to the bungalow for the night. Many visitors take their turn windsurfing, kitesurfing, or just plain old surfing — but you’ll feel right at home spending the day in a hammock, as well, if you’d rather.
Travel advisory: Passport and visa requirements differ from country to country. Please check with your local authority before booking.
Rancho do Peixe is a seasonal property and is closed in March.
How to get there: Rancho do Peixe is located four hours’ drive from Fortaleza Pinto Martins International Airport and less than an hour from Comte. Ariston Pessoa Regional Airport. Transfers can be arranged, please contact Customer Service for more information.
