Nearby beaches

Visit every spot of the extensive Costa do Descobrimento, off Arraial d’Ajuda’s limits.

Deserted beaches, calm sea, coral pools, ochre cliffs. Swim in rivers flowing to the sea. The Rio da Barra, the first registered river in Brasil, is undoubtedly a historic and invigorating excursion. Trancoso and its long beaches, with lively beach clubs offering music and fun. Caraíva, with its sand streets and all the peculiarities of that barra de rio, with the neighbouring Aldeia Xandó (village). Farther on, Ponta de Corumbau awaits you with its ravishing beauty. Arraial d’Ajuda is truly the starting point for a special journey. And Maitei Hotel is the distinctiveness of Arraial!
