A complete leisure experience with a 500 m² lobby, 2 pools (one outdoor and one indoor), a fine-dining restaurant, Spa, kids’ playroom, fully equipped fitness center, and spaces for events and entertainment — plus the convenience of direct access to Inhotim.
Reservations open from December 20th, 2024.
Located in the heart of the state of São Paulo, Clara Dourado Resort was built in harmony with nature, close to cities such as Brotas, Jaú, São Carlos, and Ribeirão Preto.
Recognized for three consecutive years by TripAdvisor as the best hotel in Brazil and South America, and among the best in the world for families, it is a perfect destination for all ages. The property features vast areas of untouched forest, two waterfalls, valleys, and several springs that create lush landscapes filled with greenery and water everywhere you look.
The history of the estate dates back to the early 20th century, with roots in the family of President Washington Luís, and still preserves all of its original charm. The historic architecture contrasts with the new complex — designed by the Studio DWG Architecture and Interiors office — which forms a bold skyline composed of a heated pool, changing rooms, saunas, pool bar, spa, and the charming “Vila do Lago”, a lively area with its own identity, featuring a pool and common spaces enriched with details that celebrate Brazilian design and craftsmanship.
Located in Ibiúna, just 72 km from São Paulo, Clara Ibiúna Resort shines with charm and natural beauty.
With architecture by Cláudio Bernardes and Daniel Fromer, and interior design by Marina Linhares, the resort offers three kilometers of waterfront along the Itupararanga dam.
Clara Ibiúna Resort stands out for its exclusive services and personalized hospitality, combined with a complete leisure structure and activities for the whole family.
Here, you will find Clara Resorts’ signature service excellence, entertainment, and specialized recreation staff, along with a helipad, sports courts, an equestrian center, and water and land sports — always embraced by nature. Reservations open from December 20, 2024.
Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner — with unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and Starbucks coffee served during meals.
A wide range of daily activities included in your stay, following the resort’s curated program.
Born on a historic farm in the countryside of São Paulo — in Dourado — the Clara Group continues to invest in facilities and activities that connect guests to nature. Preserving native forest is one of our top priorities. In a region once dominated by sugarcane, we planted more than 50,000 rubber trees, forming an environmental protection belt. To encourage the return of native wildlife, fruit-bearing trees were added between them.
“We selected species that adapt well to the local soil and climate — and that animals love while humans don’t consume. The result has been amazing. After seven years, we’ve seen a remarkable increase in monkeys, toucans, and many other species”, says Taiza Krueder, CEO of Clara Resorts.
The planted forest is fully sustainable, and latex extraction is expected to begin in 2024. “By replacing sugarcane fields with rubber trees, we preserved the land’s productivity and helped restore the environment — improving the natural surroundings for wildlife that struggled to find food, since they do not feed on sugarcane,” Taiza explains.
Sustainable actions are part of the everyday life at our resorts.
All Clara Resorts operate with 100% renewable energy, including solar-heated water in both guest accommodations and pools. We also manage 100% of wastewater and water treatment through our own certified ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) and WTP (Water Treatment Plant) systems. Water reuse for irrigation, organic gardens, and filtered water available in all accommodations — avoiding the disposal of more than 300,000 plastic bottles every year — are part of our commitment, along with strict waste separation and recycling practices.
Our sustainable practices have been recognized nationwide.
This year, Clara Ibiúna Resort was selected as the Best Hotel with a Sustainability Project by Hotéis de Luxo Brasil. The Group is also a winner of the Braztoa Sustainability Award 2019/2020 in the Hospitality category for the Clara Verde Project, which promotes sustainability among the local community, guests, and team members — establishing Clara Resorts as a true national reference in responsible and conscious hospitality.
Sustainability
We offer an optional social fee, paid at check-out, and the funds raised through this initiative benefit our surrounding community. We currently make monthly contributions to the local NGOs SOS Itupararanga and Ecociente, which promote environmental awareness and preservation. Additionally, part of the resources is allocated to building local public squares and supporting charitable organizations.
Experiences
Available during meal times, we are the first resorts in Brazil to offer a full menu of Starbucks beverages — everything to make your stay even more enjoyable.
Testimonials from those who already stayed with us.
Stunning architecture, delicious food for every taste — including vegetarian options — and impeccable service! A true oasis of peace within a reserve and inside the Inhotim Museum. Art pieces enhance the décor, with wood, stone, and refined Brazilian design everywhere you look — plus delightful touches at every corner.
An experience I highly recommend!
We came to celebrate our honeymoon and it was absolutely worth it. Right at the beginning of our stay, we were pampered with complimentary sparkling wine and a charcuterie board.
We were able to relax and enjoy nature — and the view of the reservoir from the rooms is simply breathtaking.
We will definitely be back many more times.
Without a doubt, the best family-friendly hotel in the region. Cleanliness, comfort, outstanding facilities, great taste, high quality — and absolutely sensational food. Everything is delicious, from breakfast to dinner. The staff is extremely well-trained, polite, and friendly. Countless activities for children of all ages, plus entertainment for adults, even at night.
Perfect cleaning and maintenance. Birds fly inside the restaurant while we’re there — a peaceful and charming touch of nature in every moment! Incredible spa and gym, amazing massages and treatments with premium L’Occitane products! I recommend it with my eyes closed and would come back a thousand times every week if I could! Everything was perfect!
Simply outstanding! Everything is so well done — service is a perfect 10.
The food is the highlight here — absolutely delicious! Get ready to gain a little weight! There are activities all day long, and the atmosphere is very peaceful. I stayed in room 611 facing the lake — very clean, with a bathtub, spacious, and an extra-comfy king bed.
Wi-Fi works perfectly in 100% of the property.
We escaped the chaos of the Barretos rodeo and ended up meeting friends here!
I recommend it to everyone — come enjoy peaceful moments or lots of fun if you prefer!
