Location:

The property is strategically located in Formosa, Goiás State, Central Brazil, only 112 km from Brasília, the nation’s capital, and 125 km from Brasília International Airport.

The complex sits in a region of high tourist flow, recognized for its natural beauty, including the famous Itiquira Waterfall (168m free fall), one of Brazil’s most iconic attractions.

Easily accessible via asphalt road (GO-524), the area is surrounded by a potential market of over 5 million residents within a 250 km radius (Brasília, Goiânia and neighboring cities).

The property also benefits from two rivers running through its land, lush preserved nature (73% of the total area), and existing infrastructure (electricity, mobile coverage, parking).

This makes it a privileged location for both leisure and corporate tourism, combining proximity to a major capital city with the exclusivity of an eco-paradise.

Premises Details:

Competition / Market:

The nearest large-scale resort is Tauá Resort, located 187 km away, making it the only major competitor in the broader area.

This business stands as the only medium-scale tourism and hospitality complex in the northeast region of Goiás, strategically close to Brasília. Its exclusivity, combined with natural assets and expansion potential, provides a clear competitive advantage and positions the property as a unique investment opportunity in Central Brazil.

Reasons for selling:

Reason For Selling

The business is highly promising and strategically located, with extraordinary potential for growth. However, to fully reach this potential, new investments and fresh vision are required to meet the expectations of an increasingly demanding tourism market.

The Bueno family has successfully managed this property since its inception. After decades of dedication, the current owners face natural challenges of succession and generational transition. The heirs have chosen to pursue other ventures, and there is no direct successor to continue the operation.

For this reason, the family has decided to sell, offering investors a rare opportunity to acquire a consolidated tourism brand with unmatched natural assets and expansion capacity.

Trading hours:

Hotel & Chalets: 24/7 operation (check-in from 2:00 PM, check-out by 12:00 PM).

Parque das Águas: weekends and public holidays, from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

VIP Area & Events: available on selected days or by reservation.

The business can adapt opening hours according to demand and seasonality.

Employees:

Approximately 40 full-time employees, with additional seasonal staff during peak periods.

Years established:

Over 40 years
