What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

Nestled in the Mantiqueira Mountains, a two and a half hour drive from Sao Paulo, Six Senses Botanique is a countryside retreat where striking contemporary architecture blends seamlessly with the lush, mid tropical Atlantic forests. Built from indigenous materials, natural stone, and chocolate slate, the property consists of 18 accommodations. 7 Suites in the main building and 11 private villas sprinkled around the hills. Perched on the edge of a cliff, the exquisite restaurant serves modern Brazilian cuisine and artisanal wines around a suspended fireplace, while Six Senses Spa, complete with an indoor isotonic pool and a state of the art floating chamber, offers exceptional Brazilian treatments and therapies.
