Eco-conscious, family-run and straight on Prea Beach, Casas Elilula is where kitesurfing, sunsets, and design collide.
There’s off-grid, and then there’s Préa Beach, a sleepy stretch of Northern Brazil that’s basically and blissfully untouched. Here, Casas Elilula sits right on the sand — three sculptural beach houses surrounded by palm trees, lush plants and a pool that practically demands a midday dip.
Family-owned and run, Elilula captures the art of doing the most by doing less. It’s quiet, peaceful, and secluded, with a design that matches the land. Natural wood, thatched roofs and open-plan spaces spill straight onto the beach, making every detail feel intentional yet completely unpretentious. The houses are connected by garden paths and wraparound decks, making you all but want to ditch your old life and live in linen forever.
The best part? Sustainability isn’t just a line in the press release. The property runs entirely on solar power, the sea breeze cools every room and single-use plastics are nowhere to be found. The furniture is either upcycled or crafted by local artisans, connecting the design to the area.
As for the day-to-day, think kitesurfing sessions at sunrise, coffee barefoot on the deck, lunch whipped up in the open kitchen or by a private chef from Elilula’s insider “Address Book,” and nights under skies packed with stars. At Casas Elilula, luxury is in the details.
