Holidays in Pipa

An introduction to Pipa

Picture gigantic cliffs plunging into a sea with more sparkle than an A-lister's engagement ring. Add Bounty-like beaches that insist on your tanning time. And throw in a night scene that'll have you swinging your hips 'til sun-up. That's Pipa for you, one of the north east's most bewitching beach resorts. The Brazilian jet-set can't get enough of the place, and it's easy to see why. First off, there's that stellar shoreline. You're looking at ten kilometres of sun-drenched sand that'll have you kicking off your flip-flops in no time. Join the hip and trendy down in Love Beach - the stretch known as The Shipwrecked is a real hit with the surfing crowd. For a lazier vibe, make for Praia das Minas. It's the turtles' favourite stomping ground and the ideal place for a sandy stroll in solitude. If you're on the lookout for dolphins, meanwhile, their preferred party playground is at Praia do Curral. Beaches aside, there's a lot more to Pipa than sunning. Take your pick from things like cycling, canoeing and fishing. Saddle up for a horse trek through sun-dappled forests. Or buckle up instead, and kick up a sandstorm on an adrenaline-pumping buggy ride. Come nightfall, this relaxed resort morphs into a fiery little party animal. The village is packed with bars and restaurants that keep the vibe switched firmly on to fun. Samba, reggae, salsa, house – the music's a mixed bag so you're sure to find a sound you like. And if you're feeling adventurous, get yourself along to a forro night to dance like the locals – with plenty of fiery caipirinhas to help loosen those hips.
