Love’s a beach in sultry Brazil

Forget the choccies, flowers and edible undies this Valentine’s day and give your special someone the keys not only to your heart but also to their very own piece of paradise in the form of a perfect love nest over looking Brazil’s stunning Praia do Amor – Love Beach. Nothing says I love you quite like a glass of champers on the terrace in your very own hot tub gazing out upon views that would warm the coldest of cockles…

So, if you fancy summer lovin’ all year round Pipa, Natal in the North East of Brazil is the place to buy. Apart from boasting a picturesque town teeming with trendy restaurants, bars and shops, as well as some of the finest beaches in Brazil, Pipa is also a property hotspot. Ecologically protected, building land is scarce and planning permission is hard to come by keeping demand as high as the temperatures. High up on the russet-coloured Chapadao, the cliff that forms a backdrop to the beaches, sits Pipa Beleza, a boutique development dedicated to outdoor living. Verandas, terraces, private gardens and rooftop solariums all offer a wonderful vantage point on the lush Atlantic Forest and sweeping beaches.

The apartments, penthouses, detached and semi-detached villas combine Norwegian design with Brazilian rustic charm in an idyllic sea view setting. Built with the finest local materials Pipa Beleza is an oasis of luxury with plenty to occupy the residents including their own Ocean Club. This Spa facility will have swimming and relaxation pools, Balinese baths, yoga and a unique meditation garden as well as a lounge, delicatessen and stylish restaurant and bar. The developers will also provide full property rentals with an on-site management and administration office ensuring high returns and a carefree ownership experience.

Off-site Pipa village is just 600 metres away or you could simply take to the beach, the quaintly named Praia do Amor (Love Beach), and stretch out lazily or try kite surfing, swimming with the dolphins who live contentedly in the bay or take a beach buggy across the dunes. Augusto Severo International Airport is around 80km from Pipa.

Prices at Pipa Beleza start from only £69,000 for a large, two-bedroom garden apartment (type C), from £69,000 for a two-bedroom property with roof terrace (type A), from £73,000 for a penthouse with private double terrace, from £98,000 for a three-bedroom, semi-detached house, and from £119,000 for a three-bedroom villa with private garden. Penthouses and apartments with roof terrace have an option for a private Jacuzzi whilst villas have an option for both private pool and Jacuzzi.
