Experience the Future of Living
“A 4-day immersive retreat in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. Explore Ecomorro’s revolutionary eco-neighborhoods: a bold initiative designed to harmonize human life with the protection of our planet”.
From Visitor to Guardian: A Journey with a Lasting Return on Impact.
We believe in conscious ownership as a form of protection. At Ecomorro, your stay is the first step toward a deeper connection with the Earth. If you feel called to stay, we make it easy: this isn’t a typical tour, but a bridge to a sustainable future you can actually own.
The Path to Ownership (Optional): If you decide to join our community by purchasing a lot during or after the retreat, 100% of your retreat cost will be credited toward your land investment. A gift from us to help you ground your roots in Ecomorro.
The Ecomorro Immersive Experience
An invitation to breathe, explore, and belong.
“Day 1: Arrival & Sunset Flavors”
Your adventure begins at midday with a semi-terrestrial transfer to Morro de São Paulo. Upon arrival, our local guide will welcome you and assist with your hotel check-in. Since your accommodation is located near the shore, you will feel the ocean breeze from the very first moment.
At 4:30 PM, we will gather to witness a spectacular sunset, followed by our Night Tour. For three hours, your guide will lead you through the island’s most vibrant spots, discovering the best of local gastronomy.
Note: To ensure everyone can choose according to their personal taste, tapas and drinks are not included in the tour price, but you will have the expert recommendations of our guide to find the most exquisite spots.
Logistics & Arrival Details:
Stress-Free Pickups: While the main transfer departs at 12:00 PM from the Salvador Maritime Terminal, we will coordinate a pickup directly from your hotel in Salvador or the airport earlier that morning. Your specific pickup time will be scheduled based on your location or flight arrival.
Flight Recommendations: To ensure a smooth connection, we recommend flights arriving no later than 11:15 AM.
Important: Should your flight be delayed, an alternative 3:00 PM transfer is available (for flights arriving by 2:00 PM), allowing you to join the group later in Morro.
“Day 2: Natural Connection & The Essence of the Eco-neighborhoods”
We begin the morning at 7:00 AM with a Yoga or Active Meditation session, followed by a nourishing, local breakfast to prepare for the day’s exploration.
At 10:00 AM, we set out on the Eco-neighborhood Hike. It is essential to note that these eco-neighborhoods are located in the island’s interior and highest points. These are fundamental preservation areas where respect for the ecosystem is our absolute priority. From this elevation, we will enjoy breathtaking, panoramic views of the ocean.
During this journey, we will visit Fonte do Céu (Natural Sanctuary), a hidden gem featuring a pristine natural waterfall. We will then wrap up the morning with lunch at Gamboa Beach on the western side of the island. Here, you can relax and visit the famous Therapeutic Clay Walls of Gamboa, known for their skin-healing properties.
We will return to the hotel at 6:00 PM, leaving the evening free for you to enjoy the island at your own pace.
“Day 3: Paradise Beaches & Crystal Natural Pools”
We start our day once again at 7:00 AM, connecting with our bodies through Yoga or Meditation. After a local breakfast, we depart at 10:00 AM toward the island’s eastern coast.
This journey takes us through fascinating coastal vegetation and stunning marine landscapes. We will have plenty of free time to relax in the Natural Pools, where the ocean creates calm, crystal-clear sanctuaries.
The Snorkel Experience: Depending on sea visibility, this is the perfect opportunity for snorkeling to discover the vibrant underwater life of the reef.
Lunch will be served in the serene atmosphere of Quinta Praia (Fifth Beach), world-renowned for its tranquility and warm, soothing waters. Just like the day before, we will return to the hotel by 6:00 PM, giving you the freedom to enjoy your final night on the island at your own pace.
“Day 4: Farewell & Return to Salvador de Bahía”
After breakfast, we will coordinate your return transfer from Morro de São Paulo to Salvador (either to your hotel or the airport).
We offer departures at: 6:15 AM, 9:15 AM, 12:30 PM, and 3:30 PM. To ensure a smooth and relaxed boarding process, please arrive at the Morro de São Paulo pier at least 30 minutes before your chosen departure time.
Important Travel Notes:
Booking: Your departure time must be selected at least 72 hours in advance.
Flight Connections: If you are heading directly to the airport, please allow at least 6.5 hours between your departure from Morro and your flight’s scheduled take-off to ensure a stress-free journey.

an environmental preservation area of the Atlantic Forest, where biodiversity and conservation are essential.

FAQ & Important Information
Who is this for?
Conscious investors, digital nomads, and families seeking a secondary home in a safe, tropical paradise.
What is the physical intensity of the retreat?
Living and exploring an island like Morro de São Paulo requires good general health. Our hikes are of moderate intensity, involving some uphill sections to reach the best panoramic views. Since the island has limited vehicle access in certain areas, being comfortable with walking on varied terrain is essential to fully enjoying the sanctuary.
Arrival & Island Logistics: The "Island Ubers"
When arriving at or departing from Morro de São Paulo, you will encounter the island’s famous local porters, affectionately known as the “Island Ubers”. These locals use hand-carts to transport luggage across the island’s unique terrain, which includes some steep, sandy, and uneven paths at the village entrance. We highly recommend using their services to reach your accommodation comfortably. It is a seamless way to navigate the incline at the entrance, and it directly supports the local community members who are the heartbeat of the island’s logistics.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Absolutely. Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or have specific allergies (gluten, nuts, etc.), our team coordinates with local chefs to ensure your culinary experience is both safe and exquisite.
What should I pack for the retreat?
We recommend light, breathable clothing, swimwear, biodegradable sunscreen, and insect repellent. Trekking shoes or sneakers with good grip are essential for the forest hikes. You are welcome to bring your own snorkel gear for the natural pools on Day 3; please note that underwater visibility is strictly dependent on weather and sea conditions.
What happens if the minimum number of participants is not met?
Our immersive retreats require a minimum of 10 participants to ensure the full experience. In the unlikely event that we do not reach this number, we offer two transparent options:
- A full refund of your retreat payment.
- The option to proceed with the retreat at an adjusted price based on the final number of participants.
(We will notify all participants at least 30 days in advance regarding the group status.)
Flight Logistics
Fly into Salvador (SSA). We handle the rest.
Ownership for Non-Residents
Brazil is highly open to foreign land ownership. We assist with all legal documentation (CPF registration).
How long do I have to purchase a lot and redeem my retreat credit?
You have up to 3 months after the retreat to finalize your land investment and have 100% of the retreat cost credited toward your down payment. Please note that this offer is subject to lot availability at the time of purchase.
What is the weather like in Morro de São Paulo?
We enjoy a tropical climate year-round. In the event of extreme weather that might prevent a specific outdoor activity (like the boat crossing or waterfall visit), we always have meaningful alternative connection and wellness activities prepared.
