Located in the small village of Atins in northern Brazil, La Ferme de Georges boasts a location that excites intrepid explorers and urban escapists alike. The property is perched on the edge of the sprawling 1,500-square-kilometer Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, a wonderland of sand dunes and turquoise lagoons that welcomes swimmers, sunbathers, and explorers, as well as kitesurfers who come from all over to enjoy optimal wind conditions and flat waters. The goodness of nature is at the heart of La Ferme de Georges’ concept. The restaurant serves fresh, internationally inspired cuisine using locally sourced ingredients from its organic gardens for a mouthwateringly simple garden-to-plate dining experience. The beauty of nature also serves as an inspiration for the architecture and design of La Ferme de Georges. The seven white-walled chalets were created from local wood, brick, and palha (straw), designed to harness cool breezes for natural ventilation, and separated by swathes of greenery, dissolving the boundaries between inside and out. The interior aesthetic could be described as tropical minimalism, with natural materials abounding, inviting hammocks swaying gently on private terraces, and curvaceous design pieces inspired by the sand dunes outside. While five of the seven chalets are situated on top of small green hills, each offers a luxurious respite with king-size beds, and many provide private indoor or outdoor lounges and garden spaces to better enjoy the property’s surrounding natural setting.
The seven chalets range from 30 to 150 square meters, and all feature a double bed. While the 30-square-meter Dune Chalet, the 40-square-meter River Chalet, and the 150-square-meter Tree Chalet also offer two single beds each, the 50-square-meter Park Chalet plays host to three single beds as well as a viewing area. Each chalet hosts up to four guests, apart from the Park Chalet, which has space for five, while the Tree Chalet rises above the surrounding cashew trees and comprises two bedrooms, a private bar, and a “Moon Tower” complete with sun loungers for true rest and relaxation.
The interior aesthetic is a world of tropical minimalism, with natural materials abounding, inviting hammocks, private terraces, and curvaceous, locally handcrafted design pieces inspired by the waves of sand outside.
Inspired by local construction techniques and adapted to the natural elements of wind, sun, sea, and rain, the hotel makes abundant use of wood, brick, and straw, producing something glorious and at one with the architecture of the Brazilian seacoast.

An entrepreneur and formerly a director of several companies in Paris for 25 years, with a specialty in new technologies, Pierre Bident Moldeva now embraces life in Brazil where he helps to lead teams that meet the new challenges of the hospitality world. His husband, Olivier Verwilghen, is a musician, polyglot, raconteur, and qualified kitesurfing instructor who breathes life and rhythm into his guests’ stays with tales about Brazil in English, French, Portuguese, or Dutch, while also preparing passion-fruit caipirinhas whose recipe he keeps a closely guarded secret! After meeting at an exhibition, the two traveled the world together before settling in Brazil. The couple’s amiable and curious nature, as well as their sustained passion for travel, has instilled in them a great desire to meet new people and make new friends. Their two properties—Chez Georges in Rio and La Ferme de Georges in northeastern Brazil—are expressions of their mutual love for nature, sport, and sharing new experiences that create enduring memories.
