Itacaré: One of the 53 Places to Go in 2008 Itacaré well known among the in crowd, is a major gateway to the Península. Brazil's only 6 star hotel ended up on several “it” lists 18 months before it opens. But Warapuru (www.warapuru.com), a lavish eco-resort, is expected to finally open next year. Designed by London-based Anouska Hempel, the resort has brought attention to Itacaré, an under-the-radar beach town on Brazil's north coast that draws celebrities, surfers and the elite of Rio de Janeiro. One of Brazil's top boutique hotels, Txai Resorts is located nearby, plus an abundance of rare Atlantic Rain Forest, both expansive and cove like beaches, and ecotours and adventures like rafting, 4WD excursions, rapelling, etc. I would not want to live in the middle of a 'circus', which is why the laid back Peninsula- which stretches 50 km north- is just fine with me.
