During this vacation, we went to Club Med Rio das Pedras, a hotel on Rio’s Costa Verde, in Mangaratiba, just a two-hour drive from the city. The resort, which covers 33 hectares, is a true passport to an oasis of luxury, peace and tranquility.

The new La Reserve space
We took the opportunity to discover the new space at Club Med Rio das Pedras, La Reserve. With the aim of offering guests a more exclusive experience, the resort launched, in December 2016, a new concept within Village Rio das Pedras. Ideal for couples in love and people who want to relax, as children are not accepted there.
It’s the first in line Exclusive Collection of the chain in Brazil, with the boutique hotel seal. It is located in a charming beach corner of Club Med, with views of the sea and a beautiful infinity pool. With an exclusive structure and dedicated team, both the food menu and the drinks menu have differences in presentation, such as the decoration, glasses and table setting.

Club Med with children, yes!
If it’s really about taking children or teenagers to the resort, don’t be discouraged! The Hotel in Costa Verde has also created an environment for adults in its space, the so-called Calm Pool. The concept is widely used in resorts abroad, with an infinite edge, in front of the beach and with many coconut trees around it.
Casa Turquesa, luxury and exclusivity in Paraty
For the tots, the resort offers shows throughout the day and at night and classic service for children in the Children’s Clubs. For teenagers, an intense program that starts at 9:30 am and ends at 6 pm with lots of sports, games and art classes. Highlights include the cute Mini Club Med, from 4 to 10 years old, and the Junior Club Med, from 11 to 17 years old. The Petit Club, for babies, has an extra cost.
Gastronomy
The main restaurant is divided into five themed areas and operates on a buffet basis, where friendly chefs prepare your dish on the spot. There are stations for pasta, meat, vegetarian options, salads and desserts. There is also a special part for those who cannot eat gluten and are into fitness. In addition to the buffet restaurant, there is the Jangada restaurant, which operates only by reservation and à la carte and is close to the river that runs through the village. To get there, you take an incredible wooden bridge.
Now, without a doubt, in addition to having stayed in one of the 100 rooms classified as Deluxe with an exclusive design by Hertrich, which combined luxury with comfort, one of the biggest differences of this Hotel in Costa Verde is the service, which is very attentive. Always with a sincere smile, they are willing to serve you with joy and attention.
