Wellness & Facilities at Vila Serrano

The pool is in the garden, set among the trees, and open from morning until evening. There are no reservations, no schedules — just cold water when you need it. After a day hiking to Cachoeira da Fumaça or out through the Marimbus wetlands, it does exactly what it should.

The pool bar is right there alongside it. Cold beer, drinks, fresh juices, coconut water, light snacks. No need to go anywhere. Some guests spend an entire afternoon not moving, and that’s a perfectly valid way to spend a day at a wellness retreat in Lençóis.

The garden gives the pool its character — birdsong in the morning, shade by midday, a cooler breeze by late afternoon. If you’re not hiking, this is where you’ll be.

The yoga pavilion is open-air, set in the garden, and at its best first thing in the morning before the day heats up. Sessions are available for guests at all levels — you don’t need to have practised before, and you don’t need to be flexible. You just need to show up.

Morning yoga in Lençóis has a particular quality to it. The light is low, the garden is still, and the birds are already going. It sets the day up differently than checking your phone does. Private classes and small group sessions can be arranged on request — speak to us when you arrive and we’ll sort something that fits your schedule.

For guests combining trekking with time to recover, the yoga pavilion rounds out the stay well. Stretch out after a long day on the trail, or start the morning before heading back into Chapada Diamantina National Park. Either way, it’s there.
