TODAY I WANT TO BE IN...BRAZIL (VIA URBAN STYLE VIBES*)

This year I'm launching some new 'themed blogposts'. This is the first one. In this weekly blogpost I will give you some travel inspiration and aspiration where to go when. Today I want to be in Kenoa. This Exclusive Beach Spa & Resort is located on Brazil's stunning northeastern coast. This unique design hotel was founded by Pedro Marques. The idea behind this beautiful spot was to create a stylish resort for a mental, physical and environmental equilibrium. Keen on environement-sparing solutions like recycled glass water bottles, tree trunks of reclaimed wood, energy saving LED light, locally produced foods, this eco-chic retreat's intimate set-up offers repose for those ready to wind down. 

If you are ready to go, you can book your Design hotels here. I'm a Design Hotel affiliate and if you book a design hotel via Urban Style Vibes a % of the total booking goes to me so I can keep you up to date on the latest travel destinations on the planet. Have fun!

YOUR WEEKEND....(VIA URBAN STYLE VIBES*)

Hi friends, what are your plans for the weekend? My weekend is full with pre-X-Mas parties and drinks.  Yes, it's that time of the year.... Can you imagine we almost finished 2010? Was this year a good one FOR YOU? And what do you expect from 2011?

Q. PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS!

Today I take you on a home tour to Brasil. This is the 'Sumar House' designed by architect Isay Weinfeld for a graphic desinger in Sao Paulo. He wanted to have a big house where he could work, train and welcome friends.

In order to find accomodation for an exercise room for dance, as well as a large area for entertaining, two bedrooms and all other necessary rooms below street level.

Let's go to Brazil

My sweet blog readers! Isn't this a lovely day for a celebration in Brazil? Today I take you to the Uxua Casa Hotel. This is a compound of nine renovated houses, two restaurants and a spa opened by Wilbert Das, the creative director of Diesel, in the Brazilian fishing village of Trancoso.







The Uxua Casa hotel is located in Transcoso's UNESCO World Heritage ‘Quadrado' square. Stay in your very own one, two or three bedroom self-catered casa or the Uxua Casa Hotel. Don't miss a trip to the newest edition spa, or a dip in the seriously cool crystal lined pool, that sparkles by day and glows at night. If you do feel beach bound, a five minute walk from the Quadrado will bring you to sandy Brazilian shores. For details and rates visit Uxua Casa Hotel.
