A regenerative retreat with purpose
An experimental socio-environmental project focused on living beings and their home: the planet.
Creating a 6,000-hectare green belt through a rewilding process, while also embracing a strong social commitment. Based on regenerative tourism, we invest in the region’s economic sustainability and are home to three internationally awarded hotels — Engenho Lodge, Ibiti Village, and Remote. With rustic yet sophisticated architecture, they offer transformative experiences that foster a deep connection with nature for families, couples, groups, and outdoor enthusiasts.
At Ibiti Project, these experiences include endless possibilities such as 300 km of trails, dozens of waterfalls, e-bikes, piano recitals, art, spas, and refined Minas Gerais cuisine, thoughtfully designed for diverse and discerning travelers.
