Guest Houses in Praia do Bananal

Calm and beautiful place.

I loved everything about the property. Seriously such a beautiful place to stay. Very secluded. Feels like you’re at home !

It was like living in the among the plants. Its away from the party area so you can actually get some sleep. breakfast was simple and amazing, i had carried my own gf bread with me which of course was not enough for all the days. but upon realising the staff provided gf bread during breakfast. They also had tea time ( coffee/ tea+ snacks) -- loved it. They have a common room up front, nice place to chill.

Nature, peace, lovely stay.

Super friendly and non intrusive hosts, they helped us leave our stuff early before check-in and also later during check out. The island was without electricity, their property had a generator that enabled the place to have warm water and light etc despite the power cut. They also had a complimentary afternoon lunch for the guests (and breakfast, obviously). Also close to some bars that are more low-mid range in price.

If you’re anyone like me and spend days researching the perfect place to stay when traveling, you’ve found it! Pousada Belas Aguas is without a doubt the nicest looking place to stay in Araçatiba and if the beachfront corner Bali suite is available I’d recommend picking that one! Lucas was amazing at providing suggestions, responding quickly to any requests, and helping book a boat tour for me during my weekend stay. Having the beach just a few steps away with beach chairs/umbrella/table always available (1 set per a room) was exactly what I was looking for in a relaxing island vacation. Lucas and family live below next door so you really feel like you’re staying with family friends when you visit and they’re always around when any assistance is needed. They even gave me a souvenir when I left! The beach was amazing and being partially blocked off from the rest of the Araçatiba beach by the big rock formation, it practically is a small private beach. There are also kayaks and snorkel gear available to use and right in front of the hotel was a great place to take a dip and see some fish in the rock formations. Breakfast on the beach every morning was an amazing way to start the day and watching the sunset right in front of the hotel (don’t get that in the more popular Abraao on the other side of the island) was the perfect way to end it! I heard Lucas switch between at least English, Spanish, Portuguese seamlessly when interacting with guests which I really appreciated given my lack of Portuguese. This was the first stay I booked when planning my month long South America trip and I wish I didn’t have to leave it! Thanks Pousada Belas Aguas (and Lucas!) for the incredible stay and I hope to come back sometime!

Exceptional, remote location Room with an amazing, breathtaking view on the bay Very nice and caring staff Good caipirinhas and appreciated happy hour

Check in was express. Great location and very quiet. Room was clean equipped with shampoo and soap.

Tucked away in the trees it feels like you are part of nature. We expected a small room and got there to a beautiful house overlooking the forest and sea. The best nights sleep I have had in a long time listening to the sounds of nature and then waking up to it too. Super chilled vibe and very nice staff.
