Makena Hotel, in detail

Makena Hotel

Makena Hotel is an small luxury adult?only retreat of just thirteen suites, a short stroll to the Icaraizinho beach, famous for Windsurfing, Kitesurfing and Wingfoiling. There is a Windsurf and Wingfoil school a 10 minute stroll up the beach, or you can launch straight from the beach close to the property. 
The food at Makena Hotel is a key part of the experience and is known for its quality, freshness, and creativity. The hotel has its own restaurant and bar called NUI, which is open daily and offers a relaxed but refined setting that reflects the peaceful coastal surroundings.
Breakfast is served à la carte rather than buffet style, with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. You can expect tropical fruits, freshly baked breads, homemade cakes, tapioca pancakes, eggs made to order, local cheeses, and fresh juices. Coffee is high quality and service is attentive but unhurried, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the morning.
Lunch and dinner feature modern Brazilian cuisine with international touches. Dishes are beautifully presented and often highlight regional seafood, fresh herbs, and vegetables sourced locally. Typical plates might include grilled octopus, fish moqueca, seafood risotto, or slow-cooked meat dishes with unique tropical sauces. Vegetarian options are available, and the kitchen is generally flexible with dietary preferences.
The atmosphere at NUI is calm and candlelit in the evening, creating a romantic setting ideal for couples. The bar offers a well-curated wine list, craft cocktails made with tropical fruits and local spirits, and refreshing non-alcoholic options.
Each room is air?conditioned, with smart?TV, minibar, in?room safe, premium bedding, free Wi?Fi and a furnished lanai overlooking the verdant garden. 
There are four suite types. 
- The Suíte Mana measures 60?m², has one king bed, and sleeps up to three guests. 
- Suíte Joy and Suíte Kai are both 70?m² with king beds, each also sleeping a maximum of three and featuring a private plunge pool. 
- Suíte Makena at 112?m², fitted with two king beds, two bathrooms, a private plunge pool, and likewise accommodates up to three guests 
Guests can unwind by the outdoor plunge?pool, roam the rooftop terrace, and enjoy the private beach area with umbrellas, loungers and sea?views. The on?site NUI restaurant and bar serve Brazilian?style cuisine from a modern setting, offering a continental breakfast, plus lunch and dinner. 
Inside the guest areas, the ambience feels cosy and sophisticated—guests often praise the quality of decoration, the warmth of service and thoughtful extras like afternoon treats, evening teas, and attentive staff who provide a genuinely pampering experience.

Booking Makena Hotel with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.

01

Your money goes into trust

Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.

02

We book it all, and then check it

Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.

03

We call you before you go

Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.

04

We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away

Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
