Pousada BGK Barra Grande – Piaui Brasil   About Pousada BGK Accommodations Activities Kite Surfing

ABOUT BGK POUSADA

In front of the sea and under a shade of a huge coconut grove, BGK offers its guests hospitality, harmony and adventure. The Pousada integrates the typical and natural characteristics of the region with excellence in services and care.

BGK is for those who enjoy the outdoors: sea, wind, poetry and native.

Barra Grande: A hidden paradise in northeastern Brazil. Barra Grande - Piaui: where the wind blows and nature lavishes beauty. A paradisiacal scenario to host kitesurfers who come in search of the best trade winds and those who are brought by the wind want sun, warm water and quiet beaches.

BGK Services
Among the coconut trees, the BGK has a beach bar, kiteboarding school, stand-up-paddle, kayak, massage space, açaí and ice cream kiosk. In the restricted area for guests, we offer a diverse breakfast, swimming pool for adults and children, exclusive bar, lounge with television, reading space and parking lot.

Getting to Barra Grande is what keeps it from the throngs of over-tourism. Barra Grande sits at the mouth of Brazil's 3rd biggest bay, the Baia de Camamu, surrounded by a vast, calm expanse of water on one side and the rolling waves of the Atlantic on the other side. The narrow Marau Peninsula is home to relatively few people and is a haven to all kinds of wildlife that live in the forest, among the palms and lagoons. Precisely because of its inaccessibility, it has escaped mass development and retains a special charm.  The best way is to fly into Ilheus and then transfer overland about 2 hours north to Camamu and catch a speedboat across the Baia of Camamu to Barra Grande, about 40 minutes.  To go from Salvador Bahia, which is the other major airport in the area, you have to catch the ferry across the Salvador's Bahia de Todos Santos to Itaparica, about an hour, then overland to Camamu about 3 to 4 hours, then speedboat to Barra Grande.

Pousada BGK is built from natural local materials and located right on the edge of a beautiful beach in the shade of an immense coconut tree grove. It's chalets are rustic, built from wood or bricks with thatched roof and pleasant decor that integrates perfectly with the atmosphere of the laid back beach. They have either a view over the sea or the garden, and are distributed around the grounds.

Barra Grande is an up and coming beach destination rivaling the nearby Jericoacoara. The village attracts wind-sports lovers and leisure tourists, alike, for its constant wind and beautiful coastline. The unpaved streets bring the beach's white sand into town and to the rustic chic hotels. Crabs from the mangroves and local oyster farms supply the restaurants. Buggy and horseback are typical ways to explore the dunes lined with coconut forests. There are a variety of activities with kite surfing topping the list.
