Buyers should look towards the laid-back gems in quaint coastal regions
Friday, February 12, 2010
Buying a property in Brazil outside of the major cities and look towards the quaint coastal regions of the country could be the realization of a dream for a lot of people, according to an industry expert.
According to the Brisbane Times, Property expert Steve McKenna said that classy beach resorts and gorgeous tropical islands add to the feeling of paradise, which he described as "stunning".
Just 105 miles from Rio de Janeiro, a pleasant 2-hour trip takes you to the peninsula of Buzios, Mr. McKenna said that the area has more than 20 magnificent beaches and crystal-clear water contrast with the exuberantly sculptured landscape and exotic vegetation, which a prodigal "Mother Nature" has privileged with a wonderful year-round summer.
The town elected one of the 10 most beautiful areas in the world, famous for its unique combination of rustic charm, architectural harmony, incredible beauty and sophisticated boutiques and restaurants frequented by discerning visitors who come from all over the world to savor its magic. "The [town's] walkway leads to the charming old village of Praia dos Ossos, which is sprinkled with cute little cottages, humble pousadas [guesthouses] and family-run shops and diners," he added.
Mr. McKenna added that Brazilian property in nearby Paraty would be ideal for investment. This lovely colonial town, 125 miles from Rio de Janeiro on Ilha Grande Bay, Brazil's southeastern coast is a favorite with Brazilians and visitors who want to get away from it all in a historic town, laze on one of the many beaches, and indulge in a restful vacation.
Meanwhile, Hello! Magazine said that in the far north-eastern corner of the country there are the "incredible turquoise waters" of Jericoacoara, surrounded by dunes and crags, while the Lencois Maranhenses national park encompasses a unique ecosystem of around 300 sq km.
"Just a couple of hours north of Rio, in the Buzios peninsula, there are a score of beaches offering a taste of paradise. Heading south, you'll find no fewer than 2,000 beaches divided among the eight bays and 365 islands of Angra dos Reis," the guide added.

Beachfront property in Bahia
Sunday, June 28, 2009
One of the greatest things about owning a vacation or retirement home on the beach is enjoying the wildlife that pass by and a retirement property in Bahia could allow people to see one of the most majestic animals on earth.
Humpback whales are marine mammals that do not have a nose. Their most distinctive feature of the humpback whale is their long pectoral fins, which can be as long as one third of the length of their bodies. The fins may be black on their dorsal part and completely white on their ventral part. Humpback whales use the waters off the coast of Santa Catarina and Bahia for their breeding rituals forming courtship groups, mating, giving birth to their offspring and nursing them. Recently an article from Realty Executives states that buying a property in Bahia could provide a peaceful location to watch them.
In the fall, humpback whales leave their feeding grounds in the Gulf of Alaska, the sea of Bering and the sea of Chuckchi and travel towards warmer waters off Bahia where they spend the winter and have their calves. Once the cold weather has passed, the whales leave Brazil again for cooler climes.
Ecotourism in Brazil is also getting "very popular" among holidaymakers, who are becoming a lot more environmentally conscious. It is not to wonder then that the Brazil's tourist board invests in ecotourism as part of a larger effort which attracted more than five million visitors in 2007, generating $4.95 billion (?3.5 billion) for the economy.
Ms Rendell-Dunn, marketing manager for Journey Latin America has stated that Brazil is the "perfect destination" for travelers looking for nature, adventure and culture, as "it offers something for everybody".

Alagoas - Brazil's latest six star destination
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Brazil's property market is creating huge potential for early bird property investors to get greater returns and exploratory investors searching for investment prospects are looking further afield.
Alagoas, the Northeast region's second-smallest state, has over 230 km of perfect coastline. The state is located between Pernambuco in the north and Sergipe in the south and has a population of 3 million. Maceio, the capital of Alagoas has long been a popular Brazilian tourist destination. The opening of the international airport in Maceio, in 2005, has brought it to the attention of international investors.
Alagoas has a year round temperature of 25 degrees with an average of 50mm of rainfall. The clear warm waters and some of the most fabulous beaches in the country offer popular cocktail of sun and the beach. Most of the state has myriad coconut palms and sugar cane, with coral reefs forming swimming pools that are famous for snorkeling and bathing. Holidaymakers can take their families to the country's beach resorts or enjoy the spas on offer in the state.
Felipe Cavalcante, President of ADIT Nordestehas stated that Alagoas is a potential high class tourist and real estate destination. Additional air routes to Alagoas are likely to attract foreign investment in the promising Brazilian property market, where buy-to-let ventures are presently being tipped as one of the most lucrative real estate opportunities. Knight Frank, an international residential and commercial property consultancy, explained the advantage of buying off-plan properties in rising markets that it can save more money.
