The Praia do Forte EcoResort & Thalasso SPA is located in an area surrounded by natural beauty, enjoyment, pleasure, and tranquility. Beautiful, thanks to a 12-km beach, it is located next to a charming fishermen's village (the Vila de Pescadores), ecological reserves, rivers, rapids, lagoons and ruins dating from the Brazilian colonial period. The hotel facilities occupy only 20% of the 300,000-square meter land, preserving the verdant native vegetation which makes Praia do Forte an ecological sanctuary. But all this would not be complete if not for the friendly, cheerful smiles of the helpful staff. Upon arrival, guests are always welcomed with champagne and coconut water. Friendly, wide-smiling young Bahian women serve guests at the bars and restaurants all day long. And at bedtime, careful housekeepers prepare the rooms and leave chocolate turtles on the beds, a gift and the registered trademark of the Praia do Forte EcoResort & Thalasso SPA.
