    Bonito Villa

    Private riverside villa on the Rio Formoso

    Exclusive retreat with river access, private spa and wildlife on the doorstep

    Bonito Villa in Brazil sits on a private farm outside Bonito, where the clear, swimmable Rio Formoso flows through the grounds. Designed for families and groups, up to 12 people can stay in the villa’s rooms. There’s direct access to the river and views in every direction from eight different decks. One section of the river is shallow enough for children to swim, while another is ideal for floating downstream. There is also a riverside dining area with a traditional wood-fired stove for long lunches or relaxing dinners by the water.

    The villa includes six suites, a private swimming pool, gym, massage room, Jacuzzi and sauna. Your dedicated team includes a caretaker, cook, a kitchen assistant and two housekeepers who will look after the villa throughout your stay. For dining, there is a full kitchen, plus a barbecue and pizza oven for relaxed meals with family and friends. Toucans, parrots and monkeys are regular visitors around the house, particularly at sunrise and sunset.

    Bonito is the gateway town, located around 20 minutes away, offering easy access to the rest of Brazil. You can spend the day exploring the Blue Lake Cave, floating along the Rio da Prata or discovering the wider landscapes and rich biodiversity of Mato Grosso do Sul before returning to your own stretch of the Rio Formoso for an afternoon swim or an evening beside the pool.

    Places to combine Bonito Villa with

    Cristalino Jungle Lodge

    Amazon

    Cristalino Jungle Lodge

    Truly one of the best lodges to explore the natural world of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest – as confirmed by the National Geographic Traveller, who named it one of the best hotels in all the country – the Cristalino is a spectacular, very comfortable and conscientiously designed jungle lodge for serious nature lovers.

    Set in its own 28,167-hectare private reserve and only reachable by boat, the lodge also manages to combine several different accommodation options for every type of traveller. Families will find the two-bedroom bungalows very comfortable, and couples looking for extra privacy will find the ‘special bungalows’ ideal. Things like solar-powered hot water and biological waste treatment keep the property sustainable with minimum impact on the precious environment around you. Private verandas and outdoor showers come as standard in all category of rooms, and upper-tier options feature private gardens and L’Occitane products.

    The staff here look after every individual guest beautifully, as do the lodge’s team of naturalist guides and wildlife experts who lead you on your daily expeditions. Choose from a scheduled programme of diverse activities depending on your length of stay, or pick and choose what you like, mixed in with the right balance of relaxation.

    Combining remoteness with an elegant style of comfort, expert nature activities and outdoors adventure, and fantastic facilities for its position, Cristalino is without a doubt one of our favorites.
