Experience a mix of nature and entertainment at Figueira Beach (Praia da Figueira). Take part in a host of activities, both in and out of the water, which are suitable for all ages. Relax on the soft golden sand or the palm-shaded lawns, enjoy drinks at the resort’s beach bar and dine at the buffet restaurant. Figueira Beach sits on the shores of a lake fed by the Formoso River.
The day resort is the perfect location for water sports enthusiasts. Spot schools of multicolored fish on scuba diving, snorkeling and boat tours. The underwater remains of a ship and seaplane shelter various species of aquatic creatures. Wade in the shallow water and watch as fish dart around the lakebed and swim within touching distance.
Explore the lake by kayak, paddleboat and stand-up paddleboard. Splash into the enticing water at the end of an exhilarating zip-line ride.
Out of the water, travel around the resort’s tropical surroundings on mountain bike and quad bike. Play a game of beach volleyball or try your hand at slacklining. Children will especially enjoy the trampoline and playground, complete with seesaws and slides. Take a nap or read a book while lying back in the comfort of the hammocks suspended beneath a huge fig tree.
Order some delicious food at the resort’s restaurant, which serves a buffet of fresh fruits, salads and vegetables. Sample typical Brazilian dishes such as feijoada, a bean, beef and pork strew. Purchase a range of beers, cocktails, freshly squeezed juices and soft drinks at the waterside bar. Check emails and send envy-inducing photos to friends from the designated area with Wi-Fi connection.
