Vila Pedra Mar offers chic, romantic accommodation on Ilha Grande. Surrounded by lush Atlantic rainforest, it comes with 80 metres of private seafront and a jetty, ideal for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing. This exclusive pousada offers three luxurious suites with water views. Plus, a three-course dinner each evening is included for all guests.

Vila Pedra Mar is located on Praia Vermelha, a tranquil little village on the west of the island. It’s away from the bustling village of Abraão where most of the action is. The villa has its own boat, so when you’ve had enough of soaking up the serenity you can be whisked over to the village or taken on a tour of the region’s nearby islands and hidden beaches.

There are three suites available: the honeymoon suite, the Azul (blue) suite and the Verde (green) suite. All suites have extra-large king size beds with high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. There are large, fluffy towels, air-conditioning, ceiling fans and private bathrooms with open showers. The honeymoon suite is very spacious and has its own stone plunge pool. All suites have balconies overlooking the water and are filled with sunshine and fresh sea breezes.

There’s also a roof terrace where guests can relax in the sunshine, have a barbecue or enjoy a sunset caipirinha. Rooms can be rented individually, or you can get a group together and rent the entire house.

If you’re looking for a relaxing stay surrounded by nature, superb food and the sound of the sea sending you to sleep each evening, Vila Pedra Mar is an ideal choice. What sets this pousada apart is the level of service and attention to detail – you will feel right at home and well looked after here.

Double suites begin at R$920 per night.
