Tucked away from the main cluster of Camburi's bars and all the noise of weekend partiers, this very special boutique hotel is the perfect choice for couples looking for peace and quiet. If you can stretch the budget, book one of the bigger suites on the top floor; each has sea views, two terraces, and a hot tub. Every year in June, the hotel closes its doors for repairs and maintenance to ensure the unmatched quality and standards of the hotel.
Right on Maresias beachfront, with easy access to the town center, this hotel has cozy rooms and a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, and sauna, perfect for days when agitated seas make the beach less appealing. The breakfast is hearty with fresh, locally sourced products, and full beach service is offered, from chairs and parasol setup, to drinks and snacks. The pool underwent a renovation in 2023, and several rooms received upgrades.
The owners of this chic hotel sought inspiration from Bali to create the beautiful gardens inlaid with pebbles, sculptures, and tropical plants surrounding the pool and sauna areas. A full gym is available, as well as a spa. The hotel closes annually for almost a month which allows the team to carry out essential improvements, guaranteeing that every guest experience remains exceptional.
