We’ve found our little bit of Heaven. If Bahia is fast becoming one of the world’s hottest destinations then it's thanks to places like the Kiaroa Eco Resort. Truly stunning, it makes for a unique experience, an ecological sanctuary surrounded by the Atlantic forest that also takes in a deserted beach, coconut groves and pure 24 carat gold silence.

The mix of rooms and bungalows (14 of each) fits in perfectly with the spectacular natural surroundings and being spread out over a wide area, space is not something that is at a premium. In fact, that’s one of the things about this area of Brazil, everything seems to be bigger, brighter, sharper and more colourful.

These superlatives can also be applied to the service, which is top notch. Guests will want for nothing at the Kiaroa and a small teaser of things here include a 800m2 swimming pool, boutique and convenience store, spa, wet bar at the pool, VIP lounge at Salvador’s International airport and even a certified private airstrip and helipad, not forgetting wireless internet access and a whole host of sports activities.

So getting back to nature does not preclude sophistication – or romance come to think of it. In fact, legend has it that many moons ago the Gods Saquaíra and Maraú lived happily in love until Camamu appeared wooing Saquaíra taking her away in his canoe.

Desperate, Maraú asked the God Tupã to embellish the place so that his love would come back, but, though he was heeded, the beautiful Indian never came back. Before he died, Maraú asked Tupã for a special favor: that all couples that met at the place where he had lived with his beloved one or travelled there, would never separate.

Kiaroa exists exactly where Tupã supposedly granted Maraú's wishes. Here we are reminded that life was meant to be lived in Technicolor not than the nuances of dab grey that we often become accustomed to. Perhaps this is paradise found. One that, as yet, only a few knowledgeable people know about.
