Hotel Fazenda Areia que Canta
Hotel Fazenda Areia que Canta is a farm hotel near Brotas that combines lodging with a spacious natural landscape. The property spreads across extensive grounds featuring multiple heated pools, a lake for water sports, a spa facility, and various room types, some offering views of the water or surrounding forest.
The hotel was founded in 2000 on a family property where the Farsoni family had long enjoyed the crystal-clear spring. When opened to the public, the natural spring and surrounding land became the foundation for a retreat focused on nature and relaxation.
The hotel's name comes from a natural spring where sand produces musical sounds when rubbed, creating a phenomenon locals associate with nature's voice. Visitors can experience this distinctive element firsthand and connect with how the area celebrates its natural environment.
The property is located about 8 miles (12 km) from central Brotas and is easily accessible by car. Visitors can choose between overnight stays with full board or day visits that include access to all facilities, meals, and activities.
The singing sand phenomenon occurs at an underground spring where tiny quartz grains produce squeaking sounds when rubbed together. Visitors can try creating these sounds themselves by rolling and pressing wet sand in their hands, an experience many find unusual and memorable.
