What Makes Livin Barca Special?
Choosing a holiday home is about more than finding somewhere to sleep. It is also about the atmosphere, the surroundings and the experiences that make a stay memorable.
At Livin Barca, you can enjoy an independent stay in a natural setting, with opportunities to explore the lagoon, the forest and the nearby beach.
Our property is connected to a secluded beach, which you can reach via an easy walk along the trail through the São Jacinto Dunes Nature Reserve. We also have a water sports center, where you can enjoy leisure activities such as boat tours, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and kayaking—and, for the more adventurous, water skiing, wakeboarding, and hydrofoiling. Guests benefit from a 10% discount on water sports activities.
During winter, there are plenty of options as well. You can relax in the comfort of our homes, which feature central heating, hike along the trails through our pine forest, bike along the Ria, and savor the local cuisine.
