In Mari Bali

Eight reviews and a 9.6 rating place In Mari Bali among the highest-scoring properties in Pirangi do Norte, a low-key coastal village 25km south of Natal on Rio Grande do Norte's eastern shore.

Pirangi do Norte carries a remarkable natural draw: the Cajueiro de Pirangi, a single cashew tree spreading across 8,500 square metres and recognised as the world's largest of its kind, stands within walking distance of the resort address on the main Pirangi road.

The village beach is fringed by shallow reef pools that emerge at low tide, making this stretch calmer and more family-oriented than Natal's urban beaches. The dry season from July through January brings the clearest water and lightest wind along this section of the coast.
