Tucked within the forests around the Mantiqueira Mountains, the eco-conscious Botanique Hotel & Spa reconnects guests with nature and themselves. Glass walls bring the outside into seven elegantly simple suites with terraces; 13 villas feature private gardens with a hammock and outdoor tub. Go hiking and cycling, practice yoga, lounge by the spring-water pool, or indulge in a therapeutic massage utilizing indigenous healing methods. Savor field-to-fork cuisine before taking a seat in the jazz bar or private cinema.
Birders can join a biologist to spot some of Mantiqueira’s 300-plus avian species. Feeling domestic? Make organic ice cream from scratch — you can even help milk the cows!
