Brazil

Hotel das Cataratas, a Belmond Hotel, enjoys a privileged position right beside Brazil’s Iguassu Falls. Surrounded by rainforest, the pastel-pink hideaway grants its guests exclusive, out-of-hours access to the majestic falls and protected parkland. Rooms and suites offer understated colonial-style luxury. Lush, spacious gardens encircle the infinity pool. In restaurants, the options include a fine dining menu and samplings of over 60 varieties of cachaça. Tables on the veranda offer views over the falls. Alfresco gourmet picnics can be savoured on the lawn. Exceptional group activities range from helicopter flights and high-speed boat rides to guided nature walks through Iguassu’s hidden paradise.
