Porto Da Lua Boutique Hotel - Praia do Forte

Beachfront Boutique Hotel in Praia do Forte with Ocean and Reef Views

Location & Access

Porto da Lua Boutique Hotel is the only hotel in Praia do Forte directly on the beach. The property sits inside a gated condominium, a 5-minute walk from the village center shops and dining. Guests are a 2-minute walk from the Tamar Project for sea turtle conservation and close to surfing spots and natural pools.

Accommodations

All rooms at Porto da Lua Pousada have king-sized beds, air conditioning, and private balconies. Many rooms offer views over the ocean and reef, with solar powered showers in the bathrooms. The Double Room with Sea View is noted for its spacious balcony and tranquil setting with only the sound of the sea.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves Mediterranean and local Bahian cuisine with seating on the beach. Daily custom breakfast includes fresh tropical fruits, hot and cold beverages, cakes, pastries, and local delicacies. Guests describe the breakfast as fantastic and the food in general as really good.

Beach & Activities

Natural swimming pools form in front of the hotel when the tide goes out, offering snorkeling opportunities. Canoeing and diving are available, and there are deck chairs with drinks and snacks in the garden on the beachfront. The beach is mostly empty in July, and the rocky area in front can be harder to navigate at low tide.

Services & Staff

The hotel has a 24-hour front desk and offers airport shuttle service to Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães Airport, 37 miles away. Guests consistently note the friendly, polite staff and their helpfulness with details, including language support in English.
