location: Cacupé

Nestled along the picturesque western coast of the island, this area boasts unparalleled beauty shielded by lush hills and verdant vegetation. While villas dominate the landscape, there’s also a limited but notable presence of secondary housing in apartment buildings and new developments. Many residences perch atop the hills, offering breathtaking vistas of the bay—a rarity in Brazil due to stringent conservation regulations prohibiting vegetation clearance to accommodate developers. Characterized by tranquility and natural splendor, housing costs reflect the desirability of this locale.

However, there are drawbacks to consider: the bay is unsuitable for swimming, and accessing the open ocean requires a 7-12 minute journey. Additionally, the area lacks urban infrastructure.
