"The northern coast of Brazil is perhaps less well known than Rio or Bahia, but it’s not exactly a secret: the windswept dunes of Jericoacoara and the equally windswept waters of Jericoacoara Beach are famous among kitesurfers and adventuring types. You don’t have to go far, though, to get back to that undiscovered-paradise feeling. On the fringes of Preá, the next town to the east, on an unspoiled stretch of white sand, is Casana, a tiny, laid-back boutique hotel comprising little more than a handful of bungalows set just a few yards back from the beach." - Tablet Hotels
