I have been getting lots of emails asking me about spending some time in Búzios around and after New Year's, so I thought I would present Pérola Búzios as an option (or perhaps a motivation factor). It was designed by renowned architect and artist Helio Pellegrino, and looks like a perfect place to enjoy a break from the cold in the Northern hemisphere.

Not only is it surrounded by beautiful beaches, the hotel is also located at walking distance from Rua das Pedras, which offers a variety of restaurants, bars, and designer boutiques to keep you entertained when you are not tanning, working out at the gym, or relaxing at the spa.

More information about the hotel and rates after the jump.

There are 60 rooms at Pérola Búzios, divided in seven categories. All rooms offer air conditioning, cable TV, and broadband internet connection. Pictures of all the rooms are available at the hotel's website.

If you are considering Búzios for New Year's, the rates at the hotel are:

Superior Suite R$ 4.725,00
Garden Suite R$ 5.025,00
Loft Suite R$ 6.450,00
Deluxe Suite R$ 6.700,00
Executive Suite R$ 6.900,00
Master Suite R$ 7.750,00
Presidential Suite 11.650,00

Prices listed above include 5 nights at the hotel, breakfast, complimentary champagne, New Year's dinner, and several musical attractions. Please note that prices are subject to change.

I have not been to Pérola Búzios yet, but as soon as I have a chance I plan on spending a weekend there.
