Fodor's Expert Review Dreamlands Bungalows
Barra Grande, Bahia, 45520–000, Brazil
Couples and families flock to the deliciously laid-back Dreamlands, where 10 simple, stylish Scandinavian-esque bungalows sit overlooking a great surf break on Taipu de Fora Beach, and the hotel's beach bar is one of the best. Rooms are cleverly positioned in a cascade so that no one misses out on the view of the turquoise surf. Rooms are clean, modern, and come with a plasma TV and minibar; adjoining bungalows are well suited to families. Norwegian owner Jan shakes up sophisticated cocktails at the beach bar, while his Brazilian wife Lyana organizes quad-biking trips and massages for guests. Make sure to ask Jan for his secret map to visit the giant Avatar-style bromelias in the forest.
