Caravelas River Private Island

With access to some of Brazil’s most biodiverse coastlines and the historic city of Caravelas – Pontal Island, known locally as both Ilha do Pontal and Ponta da Areia, is a gateway to life in the south of Bahia. The 197-acre property, located in the mouth of the Caravelas Estuary, has long stretches of sandy shoreline, dense growths of indigenous vegetation on its southwestern side, and buildable flat land throughout. While Pontal’s development potential would need further investigation, the island’s size does make it ideal for both commercial and private development – from a family home immersed in nature to an eco-resort offering staying on the Bahian coast.
