Lovely secluded beach spot with a fantastic restaurant - yet only 15 minutes from Morro de São Paulo for those who want to party

On the island of Tinharé, this is a top spot in which to chill out after a few days in Salvador - you couldn't get much more of a contrast to the latter's hustle and bustle. It's a real oasis of calm and the young French owner and his lovely Brazilian wife go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Set alongside a huge, palm-fringed beach, it's a small, simple set-up. There's an open, airy, low-slung main building containing the reception, kitchen, dining room and sitting area-cum-library with a few books, games, changing art exhibits and a collection of 200 DVDs to borrow for your room. Next to that there's an attractive pool and deck with plenty of loungers on which to soak up the sun.

The 9 cottages are spaced well apart to ensure privacy, and set back from the main building along a pathway through woods. Food is a real highlight with a delicious fusion of Brazilian, French, Asian and Italian concepts. And best of all, while Anima's location is very secluded, there's a regular shuttle into Morro de São Paulo, which, in season really hums with late night DJ parties on the beach.
