What it is

A modernist hilltop retreat with an isotonic pool, intimate spa with a rainforest room, glass-walled restaurant, and a sustainable ethos.

What it isn't

Boring. Staff here have curated bottomless unforgettable experiences, whether you want to go to tastings at nearby wineries or have movie night in their stone walled private cinema.

What we think

Your room options here have two settings: jaw-dropping, and even more jaw-dropping. Even the “starter” suite is a stunner, with its expansive 645 square foot floor plan, mountain views out the floor to ceiling windows, private terrace, and plush perks, like a satellite flat screen TV, coffee station, minibar and individually controlled AC (phew!). We can’t get enough of the aptly named 753 square foot Panorama Suite, which peers out on the verdant Mantiqueira Valley from its corner floor to ceiling windows, and the Villa Suite, which is more like a private stone cottage complete with a flickering fireplace, hammock, and its own leafy gardens.

You're here because

You love a spa that’s oriented on inner beauty as well as outer, and this one has it all, including a saltwater flotation room and sauna that overlooks the landscape.

The Moment

At Mina Restaurant, the only thing more dazzling than the authentic Brazilian dishes before you is the view: spanning 180 degrees, including a suspended fireplace that sets your soul (yep) on fire.
