True to its name, which translates as "house on the beach," this intimate pousada opens right onto the sand and has one of the best views in town over the dune. This is a good choice for couples looking to relax over sunset caipirinhas by the pool. For breakfast, the friendly staff serve up freshly cooked tapioca and crepes alongside the usual fresh fruit.
Wind chimes, candles, a verdant garden, and swimming pool help create a sense of peace and tranquillity at this well-priced, no-frills pousada. Colorful duplex apartments have windows looking out into the garden and hammocks in front. Breakfasts of fresh fruit and homemade whole-grain bread are served in the dining area, which is decorated with a mix of modern art and antiques.
Out of the many upmarket pousadas that have opened in Jericoacoara in the last five years, Vila Kalango stands above the crowd with its private bungalows propped on stilts. The style may be rustic, but the quality of service and amenities like 600-count Egyptian cotton sheets provide an extra bit of luxury. Live music is occasionally played around the crimson swimming pool, and the hotel can organize windsurfing and kitesurfing programs with English-speaking professionals and offer complimentary daily transfers to Praia do Prea, one of the top kitesurfing spots.
