Spanarval: Spa Maria Bonita unveils a Carnival package with lodging, balanced meals and self-care in the mountains of Nova Friburgo, Brazil.
As street parties ramp up across Brazil, Spa Maria Bonita in Nova Friburgo (Rio de Janeiro state) is betting on a different kind of holiday. Called Spanarval, the Carnival package is designed for guests who want rest, nature and a light, wellness-focused schedule instead of all-night celebrations.
The concept is to slow the pace without losing the sense of occasion. Over the Carnival period, the spa offers gentle activities, ambient music and an intimate gathering that frames the long weekend as a moment for presence and self-care.
What Spanarval includes
The package combines lodging, balanced meals and a planned agenda centered on relaxation and quality of life. The experience is curated, but flexible enough to fit different rhythms and preferences.
Guests can also add optional therapies separately, including massages, therapeutic baths and self-knowledge practices. That approach allows each stay to be customized—more quiet time, more bodywork, or a mix of both.
Standard rooms: fewer screens, deeper rest
In the Standard category, located in the main spa building, the setup follows the property’s philosophy: simple, functional rooms with no television, designed to encourage true rest. Expect comfortable beds, hammocks and valley views.
Spa Maria Bonita in Nova Friburgo
Set in the mountains of Nova Friburgo, Spa Maria Bonita positions itself as an immersive escape focused on health, relaxation and reconnecting with nature. The location is on Estrada Teresópolis–Friburgo, km 56 – Campo do Coelho, about 2.5 to 3 hours from Rio de Janeiro.
Its philosophy blends body, mind and emotions through natural food, therapies, physical activities and a holistic schedule. The property offers chalets and suites surrounded by greenery—some with balconies and valley views—plus options for couples, families and pet-friendly units.
The spa also runs shorter experiences such as a “Day Use” format with functional meals and activities like yoga, water aerobics or Pilates, alongside massages and therapeutic baths. For Carnival, Spanarval highlights this slower, more intentional way to take a break without skipping the holiday.
