Natal is the capital city of Rio Grande do Norte, a region classified by NASA as one of the places in the world with the best air quality. This paradise of sand dunes, beaches and sunshine, offers visitors its unique light and its exuberant landscapes: a coastline stretching over 400 kilometres with untouched beaches, cliffs overhanging nearly empty beaches, and white sand dunes bordering on fresh-water lagoons.

20-minute drive away from the international airport, is regarded as the most privileged and most valued beach anywhere on this north-east coast.

Here, right on the seafront, the Dunas de Cotovelo project is under way: the ideal place for anyone seeking  to enjoy fine beaches and warm weather under the shade of a palm tree.
