Aratinga Inn
Cooled by gentle hill breezes and shaded by trees and coconut palms, this peaceful eco-friendly pousada is a short walk from the beachfront and offers comfortable lodgings in elegantly appointed chalets. Lavish breakfasts and afternoon teas can be eaten in the dining room or alfresco, and the owner, Rennie, offers personal attention and a wealth of insider knowledge to all her guests. There’s a lounge with music and DVDs, too, so guests can relax even if the heavens open.
