SAU is a lifestyle house born in Brazil. We make hotels, boats and food on both sides of the Atlantic. And you leave with saudade: the longing to come back.
What we do
SAU speaks little so the places can speak. Each house has its own place, voice and people; behind them, the same way of doing things.
Brazil
Hotels
We trade the room for the Canto: a private, one-of-a-kind world where nature is the luxury. You leave calmer, more yourself, and with saudade for your Canto.
Preá, Ceará. Our hotel where the wind rules: city-hotel comfort (air conditioning, wifi that works, kite logistics) with the soul of the village. We run it ourselves.

Boats
The sea with a skipper, no fuss: sunrise, morning, afternoon, sunset, half day or full day. And our own workshop in Porreres looks after every boat before you step aboard.

FoodOpening soon
Small ensaimadas, handmade in Palma: 4 classics and 2 of the week, gone when the week ends. In a box you won't want to hide.

NatureOn its way
A low-density retreat on a farm in the Pre-Pyrenees: a stone masia turned into a rural spa, with sauna and hammam, to slow down, breathe deep and come back to your people and to yourself.
ancientfutures.catHow we are
Brazilian warmth, delivered with rigour. What you notice isn't what we say: it's what you never have to ask for.
Our team runs the hotel, our workshop looks after the boats, the ensaimadas are handmade in Palma. Nobody in between you and whoever looks after you.
We speak little so the places can speak. Each house has its own voice; SAU is what they share.
Born in Brazil, at home in Spain too. What we learn on one shore we take to the other.
No stiffness, no distance. Luxury is feeling at home, not being looked at.
SAU is not a stamp for anything. It only puts its name on what keeps the promise: that you feel part of it.
We'd rather surprise you with what happens than let you down with what we said.
We are not a boutique hotel chain. We are the people you want to see again.

Saudade is the Brazilian word that doesn't translate: the longing to return to a place that is already a little yours.
