Lar dos Lençóis BHS

Two hours by 4x4 from São Luís along unpaved tracks into Barreirinhas, Lar dos Lençóis BHS sits at the main gateway town for the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park — the dune-and-lagoon wilderness stretching 1,500 km² across Maranhão state.

The property's 9.9 guest rating across 81 reviews is among the highest recorded for any accommodation in the region, suggesting service that compensates for the isolation. Barreirinhas itself functions as the logistics base: tour operators running lagoon treks and buggy crossings to Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Bonita all depart from town.

The rainy season (March–June) fills the famous freshwater lagoons between the white dunes to their most photogenic depth; the dry season empties them but opens longer overland routes.
