The Buriti

Set in Atins, the Buriti is a refuge where architecture speaks with the landscape, and privacy speaks with silence.

Pousada Buriti Atins brings together five bungalows (Buriti Boutique) and two chalets with private pools (Buriti Private) across 2,000 m² of gardens, steps from the dunes and lagoons of the Lençóis Maranhenses in Maranhão, Brazil. Regional breakfast included and served at your time, a stone pool, a sunset rooftop, and direct booking with the house.

The Place

Where fresh water meets white sand.

Atins is a small sand-street village at the edge of the Lençóis Maranhenses. Dunes that turn into lagoons, wind that draws the ground, a horizon that seems not to end. The Buriti sits steps away from all of it.

Architecture

A project by Roby Macedo, in dialogue with the landscape.

Walls that curve like dunes, translucent ceilings that filter the light, wood, bamboo and lime. Inside and outside blur on purpose. Nothing is straight, because the landscape isn't either.

The great stone pool, drawn in organic shapes, is the heart of the house, aligned with the identity of Atins.

Stays

Two proposals, one same care.

Five bungalows across 2,000 m² of nature, with a pool, hot tub, sunset rooftop, spa and gardens. Exclusivity at an intimate scale, for up to two guests per bungalow.

Frequently asked questions

What guests ask before they come.

Where is Pousada Buriti Atins?

On Rua da Alegria in Atins — a sand-street village in the municipality of Barreirinhas, Maranhão, at the gateway to Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. The dunes and lagoons are a few steps from the pousada.

How do I get to Atins?

The nearest airport is São Luís (SLZ). From there to Barreirinhas it is about 260 km by road, roughly 4 hours.

When is the best time to visit the Lençóis Maranhenses?
