Why stay here

• It sits outside Pipa's usual circuit, in Barra do Cunhaú, for travelers who want a quieter spot and don't mind driving a few extra minutes.
• Several rooms open onto their own balcony, and some have a hammock by the bed or on the balcony.
• A covered inner courtyard with plants gives a place to sit outside the room.
• The building is easy to spot along the RN-269, with yellow corridors and balconies running the length of the facade.

The rooms

Rooms at Barra Golden pair a double bed with a single bed in the same space, suited to small groups or families. Some rooms add a hammock — one by the bed, another on a private balcony with an open view — and are cooled with a fan. The décor is simple, with light-colored walls and the occasional handmade touch, like hanging fish decorations in one of the rooms.

Where it is

Barra Golden sits in Barra do Cunhaú, within the municipality of Canguaretama, about 7 km south of Praia da Pipa along the coast. It's a different town from Pipa, smaller and quieter, so it helps to have a car or arrange transport to reach central Pipa.

What's included

Your stay includes the room with a fan and, in the rooms that have one, the hammock on the balcony or inside the room. Outside the room there's a shared, covered courtyard with plants for guests to use.

Who it's for

This fits travelers who'd rather have the calm of Barra do Cunhaú than the buzz of Pipa, are driving themselves, and want simple, no-frills lodging. It also works for small groups or families that need a double bed and a single bed in the same room.

Getting there

You'd take the BR-101 to the Tibau do Sul turnoff, then follow the coast south, past Pipa, to Barra do Cunhaú in Canguaretama. For guests flying into Natal, Vive Pipa's transfer team can arrange the ride out to the guesthouse, so there's no need to rent a car for that stretch.
