The characteristic sensitivity of Marina Linhares' projects guaranteed an experience that goes far beyond accommodation. With architecture that respects the landscape and interiors that tell a story of cultural connection , the project was at the root of what characterizes the culture of Maranhão. "[The project] was a search for materials and artists that had to do with our North-Northeast. We wanted to tell a very Maranhão story ", explains Marina.

The elegance of the spaces is enriched by touches of Brazilianness, from the musical curation to the aromas created especially for the place . The accommodation experience is crowned by gastronomy, led by chef Luiz Felipe Streppel, who connects visitors to the territory through local ingredients transformed into refined dishes.
