Want to get away from it all? The sprawling Hotel Transamérica Ilha de Comandatuba ensures a true escape. This former coconut farm is surrounded by lagoons on a tropical island off the coast of Brazil. Among its many features is the Comandatuba Ocean Course, which incorporates coconut trees, sand dunes and dense vegetation into its fairways. While playing this challenging course, you might find yourself in the company of native foxes or monkeys, but that is all just part of the charm of the location, where guests can also enjoy deep sea fishing, wildlife boat tours and simply lazing in a hammock at the end of the day.
