Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte Bahia
Where the dense Atlantic rainforest meets kilometer-long, palm-fringed beaches lies one of Brazil's most famous eco-resorts: the Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte Bahia. About 45 minutes by car north of Salvador, in the middle of a protected nature reserve of the Bahian coconut coast, the resort combines lived environmental protection with unobtrusive luxury. Even the view from your veranda reveals this focus: tropical gardens, turquoise sea, and the fishing village of Praia do Forte, world-famous for its protection of sea turtles, right at your doorstep. Between yoga on the beach, one of Brazil's most awarded spas, and excursions into Bahia's history, you will find the perfect balance of adventure and retreat that makes a stay on this coast unforgettable.

Rooms
287 rooms and suites are spread across two-storey bungalows in the midst of the tropical garden area - from the Superior room with balcony and views of the rainforest or sea to the Master suite with its own whirlpool on the terrace. Each room offers air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, minibar, and a hammock on the veranda for afternoon relaxation. For even more privacy, you can opt for one of the pool villas with private pool and exclusive access to the hotel facilities - away from the hustle and bustle, but just a few minutes' walk from the beach.
Culinary
Three restaurants and two bars showcase the culinary diversity of Bahia: At Goa, you indulge in traditional Bahian dishes with coconut and Dendê oil, while the adults-only restaurant À Sombra do Coqueiral serves international and Mediterranean cuisine under shady coconut palms. The Água de Coco Coffee Shop keeps you energized in between with fresh coffee and sweet snacks. Whether by the pool, in the tropical garden, or with your feet in the sand - every spot at the Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte Bahia tells its own culinary story.
Activities
In the award-winning Anantara Spa, Thai massage techniques combine with Bahian ingredients like coconut milk and coffee to create a unique wellness experience - including a steam room, sauna, and a pool exclusively for adults. For those seeking more active pursuits, there are seven pools, tennis courts, and a water sports area right on the beach, where kayaking and surfing lessons are offered. A visit to the nearby fishing village is also worthwhile for the Tamar Project, which has been protecting endangered sea turtles on these beaches since the 1980s, as well as for the ruins of the Garcia d'Ávila fortress. Between June and November, with a bit of luck, humpback whales may even appear on the horizon.
Location
Praia do Forte was once a small fishing village and is now one of the most famous places on Bahia's so-called coconut coast, named after the endless palm tree alleys along the Atlantic. About 45 minutes drive separates you from the Luís Eduardo Magalhães airport in Salvador. The Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte Bahia is located in the middle of a conservation area where Atlantic rainforest, white sandy beaches, and offshore coral reefs alternate. Just a few minutes' walk away is the namesake village with its colorful houses, small boutiques, and the visitor center of the Tamar Project, which has been protecting sea turtles on these beaches since the 1980s. History enthusiasts will find one of the oldest preserved buildings in Brazil in the 16th-century Garcia d'Ávila fortress.
