The sound of the waterfalls, the colorful birds, and the lush Atlantic Forest that surrounds Iguassu Falls ensure that travelers reconnect with nature when spending a few days in this destination. Amidst such a powerful setting — recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature — it's easy to find tranquility and enjoy experiences that restore both body and mind.
That's why many hotels in Iguassu are seamlessly integrated into the environment, offering facilities for relaxation and sensory experiences of contemplation. Discover some of them:

LAS Hotel Boutique

With 21 bungalows nestled in greenery, this adults-only hotel is perfect for those seeking peace and relaxation. Private balconies with views of nature, serenity, beautiful gardens, and spacious, sophisticated rooms of at least 58 m² are just a few of the pleasures at LAS Hotel Boutique. For deeper relaxation, guests can enjoy an elegant infinity pool and a distinctive spa, complete with a heated indoor pool, loungers, and Asian-inspired décor. Massage jets, special lighting, dry and steam saunas, and massage treatments round out the wellness experience at this luxurious retreat.

Sanma Hotel

Just a few meters from the entrance to the water falls, Sanma Hotel was designed for guests to enjoy peaceful, elegant moments. Its rustic setting with wood floors, ceilings, and stylish chandeliers invites calm, while two pools, three hot tubs, and reservable bungalows (with minibars for cold drinks) enhance the comfort.

Active travelers can take advantage of the fully equipped 24-hour gym, and for restoring energy, the hotel offers a spa with hydrotherapy, sauna, and massage. In this privileged location, well-being also includes hiking trails to a scenic overlook of the Iguassu River, stargazing guided by an astronomer, and even a hot air balloon ride at sunrise — the ultimate peaceful experience.

Belmond Hotel

The iconic pink-walled mansion inside Iguassu National Park is one of Brazil's most renowned hotels. Staying at Belmond Hotel das Cataratas grants guests the rare privilege of visiting the Falls before the park opens and after it closes, with the added magic of watching the sunset — an experience that recharges the spirit in itself.

Well-being is also front and center. The spa, set amid the rainforest, offers personalized treatments designed to meet the physical, mental, and emotional needs of each guest, always in harmony with the cycles of nature and the moon phases. Unique experiences abound: watching the lunar rainbow over the falls during a full moon, guided walks led by a therapist who combines breathing and bioenergetic exercises with the negative ions produced by the waterfalls and forest, sunrise birdwatching with Leica Trinovid 8x42 HD binoculars, or nighttime stargazing with astronomer Janer Vilaça.

Vivaz Cataratas Resort

At this resort, well-being is present in both family-friendly infrastructure and activities that go far beyond traditional leisure. In 2025, Vivaz inaugurated a stunning heated, elevated pool with panoramic views of the Atlantic Forest — a stroll here is enough to leave your worries behind.

Guests can also book unique experiences, such as a sunrise breakfast served under a pergola by the pool to the soundtrack of local birds, a romantic evening bonfire under the moonlight, or a picnic for two surrounded by greenery with fine wine or sparkling. For full immersion in the forest, there are outdoor massages, a sensory waterfall trail, and wellness activities including yoga, meditation, and sound healing. Guests leave feeling truly renewed.
