Búzios Beach Resort is a 379-apartment beachfront resort located at Praia de Tucuns in Armação dos Búzios, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Inaugurated on June 30, 2010 and operated as part of the WAM Group (WAM Hotéis e Parques Ltda, CNPJ 03.774.432/0002-29), the property markets itself as the largest beachfront resort in Búzios and offers seven accommodation categories ranging from a 22m² entry-level Luxo room to an 83m² standalone Bangalô bungalow with ocean-view deck.

The resort's product surface extends beyond lodging to include a main buffet restaurant, an à la carte Italian restaurant (Mamma Mia), four bars, three swimming pool configurations (including a 700m² mirror pool and an ocean-facing infinity pool), a fitness center, Espaço Kids, beach volleyball and multi-sport courts, mini golf, bowling, and dedicated event spaces for corporate meetings and social celebrations. Operations are supported by a standard hotel management system integrated with WAM Group's centralized online booking platform (descontos.wamhoteis.com.br).

Commercial activity runs on a direct-to-consumer model: guests book through the website booking engine, a toll-free 0800 hotline, WhatsApp, or email, while corporate and social event inquiries are routed through a dedicated events team and contact channels. Marketing is executed across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube under the WAM Experience brand umbrella, supplemented by QR-code-linked promotional landing pages and cross-promotion within the WAM Group ecosystem (WAM Hotéis, WAM Parks, WAM Pass). Pricing is quote-based, varies by season and room type, and is not publicly disclosed; the property's 113 employees support day-to-day operations across accommodation, F&B, recreation, and events.
