Brazil is an unexplored treasure as far as family holidays go. We can all imagine its divine beauty, but the country can sometimes get a bad rap for its crime and inequality. To write off a holiday there for this reason is a great shame, though, as there are some incredible family-friendly holiday opportunities. The Grand Palladium Imbassaí Resort & Spa in Salvador de Bahia in Brazil.
All About Grand Palladium Imbassaí Resort & Spa in Brazil

Health enthusiasts aren’t forgotten – a health bar in the spa offers fresh acerola juice for a revitalizing pick-me-up. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating, always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable.
Entertainment
The entertainment in the resort is very centered around children. There are 3 swimming pools, and one is entirely dedicated to kids (whilst one is dedicated solely to adults, too).
There is a program geared towards activities for the whole family, which includes daily and nightly shows. If you are looking to have some alone time, then there is a kids club run by professional monitors that will look after babies older than 12 months.
Relaxation and health
Grand Palladium Imbassaí Spa is as much focused on spa and wellness as it is serving children with entertainment. There is an abundance of facilities and services. Firstly, spa treatments are on offer, as well as beauticians at a salon. There is also a Hydrotherapy area with a relaxation area, steam room, dry and moist sauna, hot & cold hydro-massage baths, and even some cryogenic ice baths.
A gym and spinning room are also available for those who want to break a sweat whilst they are on holiday and enjoy to-of-the-range equipment.
Final word
The list would be too long to name all of the amenities and facilities at the Grand Palladium. However, it’s worth giving a special mention to the international cuisine that serves as an incredible dining experience.
Between the 6 international restaurants (4 of which are á la carte restaurants), you can find yourself trying authentic Brazilian food, sushi, Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. The food really is a stand-out feature, but there are also 11 bars, all with novel and unique themes – the handiest one being the swim-up bar.
