Recover on the mile long sandy strand and relax in the nearly all-year warm sea at „one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil“ (magazine GEO, Spain) in Praia de Jauá. The beach of Jauá is situated north of Salvador da Bahia at the 'Estrada do Coco' surrounded by snow like white dunes. It is very popular. At some parts reefs form natural pools when the tide is out allowing to swim even by high waves. Children and non-swimmers adore it. The southern and northern beaches are almost deserted and invite you to extensive walkings. In Jauá itself there are some restaurants, bars, supermarkets and other shopping facilities and you can sample a host of Bahian food and drinks in any of the more than forty beach pavilions. The Hotel LAGOA e MAR (we speak English, German, Spanish, Portuguese) is situated in a tropical garden on the banks of a natural lake and consists of twelve spacious circular bungalows (app. 40 m²). The complex has a swimming pool with a separate pool for small children, sun terrace (with bedchairs and sunshades), bar with reading-room, playground and a restaurant. We have free internet access and fax. Each bungalow (suite) contains a bedroom with double bed (king size), fan and TV, a living room with two couchbeds, table and chairs, radio and refrigerator, a bathroom with WC and shower and a veranda complete with a hammock and seats, offering enough room for up to three adults. Four bungalows are specially adapted for people with wheel chairs. Accommodation price includes a rich breakfast. Enjoy the wide range of Bahian and international cuisine in our famous restaurant. Bahian specialities at the coast (Litoral Norte) are mainly seafood: fish, shrimps (small and large), calamari, lobster and so on, fried, or as the renowned 'moqueca', that means boiled in a coconut milk sauce with vegetables and spices. Beef, mutton, chicken, spaghetti, vegetarian dishes and salads complete our menu. And there are snacks for the small appetite. There are vegetarian dishes too.
