This is surely one of the most show-stopping and luxurious hotels in all of South America. Das Cataratas is a beautiful Portuguese Colonial residence located incredibly close to the Iguazu Falls themselves, on the Brazilian side of the border. With 193 beautiful, well-equipped rooms, fantastic facilities and a stunning outdoor pool, this hotel is designed to afford you the ultimate relaxation experience. Featuring a state-of-the-art Spa with a wide range of treatments, a plethora of exciting outdoor experiences and some incredible wildlife inhabiting the surrounding jungle, your holiday to Brazil will surely be an unforgettable one.
The hotel’s unique location is a standout feature – guests staying at Das Cataratas can walk to the Brazilian side of the Iguazu Falls in just a few minutes, and guests are afforded exclusive access to the falls even outside normal opening hours in the morning and evening. Watching the sun go down over the falls is an incredible experience and one available exclusively to guests at Das Cataratas.
We couldn’t recommend where to stay near the Iguazu Falls without mentioning the LOI Suites Iguazu. An intimate, luxurious lodge set in the heart of the Brazilian jungle, the LOI Suites is a hotel deeply in touch with nature. Located just 15 minutes from the falls, the hotel is ideally placed to give you some respite from the incredible roar of the falls yet remaining within easy driving distance.
One of the many standout features is the hotel’s beautiful pool area – comfortable sun loungers surround four separate infinity pools set in and amongst the trees. This, along with the huge Namasthe Spa offers guests a perfect setting for unwinding after a long day exploring the natural beauty of the surrounding area or visiting the falls themselves. With 154 guestrooms in 4 different categories, the LOI Suites Iguazu offer only the highest quality rooms – combine this with outstanding service and you have a truly magical experience.
Although both the LOI Suites Iguazu and Das Cataratas are incredible hotels, if you’re looking for something a bit more low-key then La Cantera Jungle Lodge is a perfect alternative. Just 20 minutes from the falls, this hotel can rival even the best hotels in Iguazu for location. The hotel utilises its jungle location in small touches throughout the hotel, without compromising on the little luxuries you’d expect from a top-quality hotel.
The hotel offers a number of excellent external activities, such as canopy walks, waterfall abseiling and jungle races. Alternatively, hire some mountain bikes and explore the surrounding area or relax by the pool in the afternoon sunshine.
