The Sunday Times Travel, Sao dos Milagres, Brazil

16 Nov 2008

Few travellers outside Brazil have heard of this local secret, between the resorts of Recife and Maceio, but that's all about to change. The limpid, jade-green, reef-formed swimming pools, the seemingly endless, empty sands and the gentle, friendly vibe have attracted the attention of top-end outfits such as Amanresorts and middle-market specialists such as the travel giant TUI, whose scouts have been seen hard at work researching the beach. Go now, if only for the immense satisfaction of having been there first.

Getting there: if you know your Brazilian A list, you could spot one or two at the boutiquey Pousada do Toque, the first hotel to open here al of eight years ago. With Black Tomato (020 7610 9008, www.blacktomato.co.uk), a week starts at £1,999, half-board.
