La Ferme de Georges

La Ferme de Georges is located in Atins, a small seafront village with some great seafood restaurants and easy access to the Lençóis Maranhenses, an otherworldly area of white sand dunes and blue-green lagoons.

La Ferme de Georges’ 7 chalets are spread across 2 acres of hilly palm forest overlooking the sand dunes, with each exhibiting a distinct architectural design. They are built from wood, and feature large decking areas and thatched roofs. Inside, the organic theme continues, without any compromise on luxury. The Dune, River and Tree Chalets each accommodate 3, with 1 double and 2 single beds.

Food at La Ferme de Georges makes the most of this fertile region, with a delicious and varied Continental spread laid on for breakfast each morning. Some of our tips for nearby restaurants include Restaurante Cantos dos Lencois, an exquisite seafood restaurant famed for its camarao grelhado – grilled prawns. Restaurante Ceu Aberto also makes the most of Atins’ seafront location, offering delicious crab and fish dishes.

La Ferme de Georges is a very child-friendly hotel, and activities for kids are organised on a regular basis. It’s also a pet-friendly hotel. There’s no pool, but with the ocean and the natural playground of Lençóis Maranhenses on your doorstep, who needs one? The staff are very accommodating and speak several languages.

Nearby Lençóis Maranhenses National Park is home to uniquely beautiful, otherworldly landscapes. Dunes of bone white sand give the impression at first sight of a desert, but a rainy season at the beginning of the year sees the creation of freshwater lagoons, which fill with fish after July. The unique water formations, along with the constant winds, make this area fantastic for kite boarding. Diving in the sea near here is also a great experience, particularly around the new moon when the water is aglow with the light of bioluminescent plankton.
