To ensure the project’s success, approval and sustainability, the choice of the property represented a strategic decision, entailing pre-analysis to determine proper use of the land and development potential.

The estate is located in the area of Urban Extension, set after the studies for the preparation of Municipal PDDU (September 2004), which aims to place tourism as the main activity for the recovery of the economy of the municipality;

Most of the area of the project lies in the Special Rarefied occupation zone (ZOR-E). This zone of occupation – ZOR-E, corresponds to areas where there are or are likely to exist more traditional tourist activities as sets the resolution nº CEPRAM 1,318, December 19, 1996 and as indications of PDDU (September 2004);

Belmonte was so named in allusion to the birthplace of the Portuguese Navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral where he entered, for the first time in the year 1500, with the ships in Brazil. It is located in the extreme south of Bahia; it’s the last town to the north that belongs to the Discovery Coast and neighboring Canavieiras to the north, Porto Seguro, Santa Cruz Cabrália and Eunápolis to the south. ; to the East with the Atlantic Ocean and to the West with Itapebi Belmonte is the only destination of the Discovery Coast that was part of the Cycle of Cocoa and surprises with bucolic air and touches of refinement of imposing mansions erected in the nineteenth century - real gems dating back to the time when the town experienced its glory days, being reference to the entire Coast. Belmonte was once the big "capital" of the Discovery Coast, with ships that docked with news from every corner of the world. The city prides itself on having large relics like the old fountain constructed of cast iron, imported from Glasgow, Scotland and the lighthouse erected in 1901, another historical treasure for having been built by the same company that built the Eiffel Tower in Paris . A curiosity of the place is that in the last 100 years the sea retreated 2 km due to urban expansion and silting, leaving the Lighthouse, previously located on the beachfront, at the center of the city.

For years, the Carnival, has made Bahia a State with vast experience in organization of large and successful events.
