Wish Natal

Facing the Atlantic along Via Costeira, Wish Natal Resort sits where the sand meets Parque das Dunas, one of Natal's protected dune reserves. Rooms and suites look out over either the sea or the dunes themselves, and the property borders enough open land that wild visitors occasionally wander through, among them the timbu, a local mammal seen from time to time near the grounds. The resort itself is contemporary in style, its rooms fitted with air conditioning, television and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. A short walk crosses the road to the beach. Meals run across several venues: Malta for breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets, Brac for a reservation-only à la carte menu, and pool and lobby bars for drinks and snacks through the day. The Natin Spa and a guest-only gym round out the wellness side. It is dog friendly, with bowls, mats and a bed provided for pets. Wi-fi is free throughout, wristbands mark hotel guests in common areas, and the whole resort runs smoke-free. Set inside an environmental protection zone, the property keeps its dune-side setting close at hand rather than paved over.
