Marupiara Resort by Wish
Marupiara Resort by Wish is a beachfront hotel in Porto de Galinhas, on the coast of Ipojuca in the state of Pernambuco. The property is made up of low-rise buildings connected by open gardens, with direct access to the beach and rooms that face either the ocean or the surrounding grounds.
The resort was built as Porto de Galinhas grew into one of Brazil's most visited beaches from the 1980s onward. The increasing popularity of the area drew larger hotels and resorts to the coast of Pernambuco over the following decades.
Porto de Galinhas means 'port of chickens' in Portuguese, a name that traces back to a 19th-century code used to signal the illegal arrival of enslaved people, disguised as shipments of chickens. Today, visitors can learn about this history while walking through a beach town that has become one of the most visited in Brazil.
The resort sits along the main road into Porto de Galinhas and is easy to reach by car, with parking on site for guests. Staff at the property can help organize excursions and transfers, which makes it convenient for exploring the surrounding area.
The resort is one of the few larger beach hotels in the region that openly welcomes dogs, providing them with bowls, toys, and mats during the stay. This makes it a practical option for travelers who do not want to leave their pets behind.
