2 Best Hotels in The Northeast, Brazil

A calm oasis tucked away near Praia do Amor, this well-run pousada offers friendly service, charming rooms, and a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by tropical trees. Rooms come with hammocks and air-conditioning, although if you are looking for privacy, request one of the newer rooms on the second floor, which have private balconies. The breakfast buffet is one of the best in town, with endless homemade cakes, yogurts, and granola—the perfect fuel for spending a day surfing or soaking up the sun. Keep an eye out for the little monkeys that hang in the fruit trees, waiting to share your banana.

This beach-chic pousada stands out for its exceptional food and bungalows that open directly onto beautiful beaches. Fresh ingredients sourced from the organic garden and local fisherman are used for the innovative Italian dishes served in the pousada's restaurant, from lobster and avocado carpaccio to shrimp risotto. Special request? The owner can cook pretty much whatever you want, especially for kids. The service and amenities, including plasma TVs, keep this pousada continually booked throughout the year.
