Set within the legendary Angra dos Reis—Brazil’s “Bay of Kings”—this private 29‑acre peninsula offers a rare blend of untouched Atlantic Forest, golden beachfront, and resort‑level luxury. Just 2.5 hours from Rio de Janeiro yet worlds away in atmosphere, the property delivers complete seclusion with effortless access to town, creating an unparalleled coastal retreat.
Property Details
Designed by renowned architects, every structure on the peninsula embraces open‑air living, sweeping verandahs, and seamless indoor‑outdoor flow. The 7,333‑sq‑ft main residence anchors the compound, overlooking a 118‑foot infinity pool that mirrors the turquoise sea. The home includes:
- Spacious living room
- Indoor‑outdoor dining with an oversized wood table
- Gourmet kitchen with wood‑burning oven and beer tap
- Glass‑walled sauna with panoramic water views
Guest accommodations are thoughtfully integrated into the forest canopy, including three pairs of 930‑sq‑ft bungalows and a 2,288‑sq‑ft master suite—each with private entrances and sea‑facing patios. A separate four‑bedroom, two‑bath residence with ranch facilities provides staff housing. Utilities include state‑supplied or generator power, plus water, cable, and internet.
Land and Water
Only 20% of the peninsula is developed, preserving a thriving Atlantic Forest ecosystem with biodiversity comparable to the Amazon. Pupunha palms and fruit trees attract vibrant birdlife, while porcupines occasionally wander through the grounds. The property fronts 656 feet of private golden sand and calm, crystalline water where dolphins and sea turtles are frequent visitors. The surrounding woodland, sea views, and natural serenity create a setting that feels both luxurious and deeply wild.
Access and Connectivity
Despite its secluded feel, the peninsula is easily reached by helicopter via the Praia do Algodão Heliport (SJTE) or by boat. Travel times include:
- 45 minutes by helicopter to Rio de Janeiro
- 90 minutes by helicopter to São Paulo
- A short boat ride to the Hotel do Frade Golf Resort and the amenities of Angra dos Reis
The Lifestyle
Praia do Algodão is a sanctuary of sun, sea, and forest—ideal as a private estate or the foundation for a boutique luxury resort. Its natural beauty, architectural sophistication, and exceptional privacy make it a one‑of‑a‑kind retreat, available year‑round for those seeking tropical elegance with absolute exclusivity.
