The beautiful Comandatuba Island is home to an immense wealth of Brazilian fauna and flora, which are present throughout its length.

The walks are pleasant moments in contact with nature, very well preserved in this paradise.

The activities found on Comandatuba Island range from a simple and rewarding rest in the shade of a coconut tree to a lively round of golf.

For those who enjoy nautical activities, it is possible to venture into ocean or channel fishing in the surroundings of the island, or even experience the “adrenaline” of piloting a jet-ski in the midst of such a marvellous landscape.
