Lili Tedde is Trend Union’s agent in Brazil, she recently went for holidays in a beautiful, wild and hidden place located in the northeastern part of the country, on the Atlantic coast.She shares with us this secret location….Enjoy!

“In the state of Ceará, Brazil, there is a small village by the sea named Pontal de Maceio located an hour and 40 minutes from Fortaleza. In this small village there is a cozy hotel with only 15 rooms : Vila Selvagem.

The owner is a French young man who came to Brazil with his father to completely change their lives and, step by step change the life of the place.They welcome you with a freshly open coconut and a straw. Just drink the water from the fruit at the perfect smooth temperature, after two hours in a car you could not ask for anything more delightful.

Around you, there is nothing but the hotel and a few local “cabanas”, where you can eat fresh fish while looking at the sea with your feet in the sand. It is a long and quiet beach, very windy, which invites you to kite surfing.

You cannot miss the typical tapioca, the locally delicious fish and obviously, the coconut water. Depending on the season you can have lobster as well!

Canoa Quebrada, a famous tourist destination, is just at a few kilometers.The beauty is not Canoa Quebrada itself, but the journey to go there through spectacular dunes, desert beaches, local donkeys, majestic aeolic energy devices, everything is under an amazing dreamy blue sky.You can also ride horse on the beach in a very cinematographic scenario.

At the nearest village you will find local women doing their “labirinto” : beautifully crafted towels, sheets and clothes, that you do not find anywhere else.

In short, an unforgettable getaway.” Lili Tedde
