Insólito Boutique Hotel
Buzios is a Brazilian fishing village-turned hip beach resort (à la St. Tropez), which is overrun by cariocas (Rio locals) each summer. A fabulously situated private villa has been transformed by its worldly owners into a special boutique hotel. Surrounded by lush gardens and with drop-dead sea views, the intimate Insólitos property has just twelve uniquely appointed rooms, all of which exude a quintessential Brazilian beach-chic vibe. The top three suites feature a large living room and Jacuzzi on the balcony that has sweeping bay views; the deluxe rooms, meanwhile, come with a small garden. Buzios claims twenty-six beaches, including calm Ferradura (perfect for canoeing) and Manguinhos (where you can watch kite surfers), so there’s no shortage of scenic places to lounge; plus café-lined shopping street Rua das Pedras is nearby. But guests may well opt to while away the days at serene Insolito, where private yoga lessons and spa treatments can be arranged. Rooms from $455.
New in 2009: Insólito has opened a brand-new beach club—the first of its kind in Buzios. Insólito’s French owner said that she was inspired by the fabled clubs of the South of France, the kind where you while the day away on your private chaise, have lunch and mingle with friends. Of course, this one is totally Brazilian at heart.
