Fodor's Expert Review Hospedaria Ponta da Piteira

The six glass-fronted rooms that make up this boutique hotel overlook the expanse of lagoons and sandbanks that make this spot so unique. Perfect for those in search of peace, quiet, and acres to explore, Ponta da Piteira is self-contained, with a pool, a chef, and outdoors entertainment—from kayaks to beach volleyball—at guests’ disposal. The nearest civilization is a good 15-minute drive away down a maze of dirt roads, making this a place to arrive and stay put until it’s time to leave.
