Duke Beach Hotel & SPA — an adults-only beach hotel in Maresias, Brazil
Duke Beach Hotel & SPA is an adults-only beachfront boutique hotel in Maresias, São Sebastião, on the northern coast of São Paulo state, with 33 accommodations across two buildings. Adults only, all year round. The hotel is about 150 km (95 miles) from the city of São Paulo — around three hours by car.
The two buildings stand opposite each other, one on each side of Avenida Dr. Francisco Loup. The Beach Building faces the ocean, with the heated infinity-edge pool, the restaurant and beach service. The Lake Building holds the 150 m² heated lake, the SPA by Renata França, the Life Fitness gym and the rooftop. Guests staying in the Lake Building cross the avenue to reach the beach and the restaurant. Guests of both buildings use all of the hotel’s facilities.

The historic center of São Sebastião and the ferry to Ilhabela are 27 km (17 miles) away. The region has trails, waterfalls and boat trips to the islands off the south coast, all operated by local partners and arranged by the hotel’s concierge.
