A beachfront location, excellent service, and sumptuous breakfasts all contribute to the appeal of Pousada Naturalia, which is set in lush tropical gardens visited by colorful birds, monkeys, and squirrels. The rooms here, which can easily accommodate up to four people, have large balconies with hammocks and perfect sea views, and although it's just a 10-minute walk to the ferry terminal and bars and restaurants, the place feels pleasingly remote and is free of street noise.
In a colonial-style house, this family-friendly pousada with a tropical atmosphere faces lovely Praia do Canto and it has a privileged pé na areia (right on the beach) location. The rooms are simple but comfortable and bright, and those with sea views take in bobbing fishing boats and have small verandas—they're worth the higher rate.
