Just a two hour drive from the bright lights of Rio de Janiero, there is an oasis of calm awaiting guests at the Insólito Boutique Hotel ? a resort that combines personalized service with a beachfront experience and ambience that revitalizes the soul. Nestled in a rocky hillside, with stunning views of Ferradura Beach, the solar- heated Insólito blends perfectly into its natural surroundings thanks to the skills of celebrated architect Otavio Raja Gabaglia.

The hotel?s 21 rooms are full of arts and crafts from Brazilian legends, local artisans and socially responsible companies, which reflect the style of its owner, the French-born Emmanuelle de Clermont Tonnerre. She has lovingly chosen and curated each room?s unique theme; whether that?s celebrating Cultura Negra, South American photography or Brazilian modern art, prepare to have your senses wowed. The hotel owns two speedboats with which guests can discover over 20 neighboring beaches on the peninsula whenever they choose. When guests want to mingle they can enjoy drinks in the Pool Bar, or they can dine at the 3000 square meter Beach Lounge, which has become ?the place to be? for locals and guests alike.
