And in this week’s edition of the sexiest things I have ever seen, the seductive, post-modern Kenoa Resort in Barra de São Miguel, Brazil. The distinctive character of Kenoa is the result of the shared vison, curiosity and taste of Pedro Marques and architect Osvaldo Tenório. 

Located on Brazil’s stunning northeastern coast, caressed by an emerald-colored, seemingly infinite ocean and miles of pristine white beach. Its position just nine degrees south of the equator ensures year-round summer temperatures. When founder Pedro Marques first dreamed up the lush haven at the unearthly beautiful spot, he instantly envisioned the stylish resort would provide for a mental, physical and environmental equilibrium. 

Keen on environment-sparing solutions like recycled glass water bottles, tree trunks of reclaimed wood, energy-saving LED lights, locally produced foods, and even non-ironed staff uniforms, the eco-chic retreat’s intimate set-up offers repose for those ready to wind down. Each of the 23 exclusive villas and suites bristles with unique features, from unparalleled views over the neighboring sanctuary, to private pools and outstanding interior design mingled with indigenous works of art. A Shiseido-equipped spa, fitness center with ocean views, winebar, lounge and world-class cuisine tantalize the senses and satisfy the soul… via Design Hotels, Read On, Check In.
