From the Mirante da Praia Brava the world opens in horizontal layers: the Atlantic unrolling toward the horizon, coastal forest clinging to steep sand, and the village below reduced to roofs and palm fronds. Guests gather at a hilltop cafeteria for briefings and cake, then climb into a 10-minute 4x4 ride (or a short trail walk when winds permit) to one of four take-off ramps.
