This recently renovated guest house is located 1.5 km from Porto De Cima Beach and 2.7 km from First Beach. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

Breakfast was very tasty :P lots of choices, all homemade, good balance of sweet and savory! the cakes were so good! Especially the lemon one. They also offered to make an egg for me each morning which was great. All the staff is exceptionally kind and attentive. Also I don’t speak Portuguese well and I understand ok and everyone was super patient with me when I communicated and deliberately spoke slower/ simply to me so I could understand everything! This was very kind and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable, area is safe, and it’s a good location- near a less busy beach and hiking trail. I would recommend anyone to stay here!

Overlooking the sea, Pousada Halai is located right on Gamboa Beach. It offers air-conditioned rooms with sea views. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

The charming rooms have a touch of colour and regional ornaments. Surrounded by gardens, they are equipped with a modern bathroom, a 27-inch LED TV and minibar.

This is a true gem, right behind the boardwalk along the beach of Gamboa (which has the best sunsets in the world, btw). The room is spacious, the beds are comfortable, we had a nice veranda with sea view. Alessandra is a very welcoming host who made us feel at home. The breakfast is tasty and abundant. I loved to stay here, it is definitely one of the better options in Gamboa!

My family and I had a great experience in Bahia at Pousada Sina. We’ve spend 6 days there and our stay was calm relaxing and unique. The sea view was exquisite and we slept listen to the sea waves and natural beauty of the place makes the trip worthy. The pousada itself is another great experience, the room was new and completely furnished, the beds were very comfortable, good pillows and madras, the shower, aircon worked great and our little kitchen worked just fine and definitely met our needs. The cleanness is definitely one of the most important things to mention, everything is kept tight and organized, from the garden to the pool, inside the rooms and the restaurant area. Is a family owned business and that makes the place warm and welcoming. The staff made and served us an amazing breakfast every day with fresh baked pastries, juice and fruits and we sat on our porch eating and enjoying the view, spying on the hummingbirds and other birds that were there for us to keep company. At the restaurant we were catered with delicious local food. A must to try is the pasta with shrimps. I can Highly recommend this place and for sure is not our last visit.

Complete with a private bathroom fitted with free toiletries, all guest rooms at the inn have a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, and some rooms also feature a balcony. At Pousada Residence Vila das Flores the rooms are equipped with bed linen and towels.

Simply heavenly! Beautiful location, really cozy room with everything you need. Stunning sea view and direct access to the beach! Truly a peaceful location. The hammock on the terrace is amazing! But the icing on the cake was Claudio & Camila, incredibly kind! Really friendly and helpful. They organized the tour last minute and it was perfect! I felt at home, FANTASTIC!"

Offering an outdoor pool, Pousada Colibri is located in Morro de São Paulo. Free WiFi access is available. Daily continental breakfast is served free of charge.

The guest house is 200 metres from Aureliano Lima Square, 300 metres from Pier and 500 metres from Morro de Sao Paulo Lighthouse. Luis Eduardo Magalhães Airport is 82 km away.

everything about this place was perfect- I could not have asked for more. the location is on a high hill with incredible views. the beautiful family that owns it is so welcoming and warm, and they clearly take pride in this wonderful family business that has been there for 40 years. I stayed in the chalet which is a beautiful Brazilian style home on the hill with beautiful balconies and a sea breeze. you can see nature and town and it is peaceful and private but the owners are nearby if you need anything. I had such an amazing rest here and loved going out for the day and equally loved coming home! you must climb a good bit of stairs to get to the property but it is a lovely and meditative little walk that I genuinely looked forward too! the pool is astonishingly gorgeous as well- overlooking the mountains and sea. I cannot wait to return thank you Tanya and Jose!!!

    An amazing location just set back from the beach. We had upstairs room with sea view and terrace and was perfect. Nice pool, good breakfast and friendly staff. Very quiet location but some good beach bars during day next door as well as a delicious Argentinian restaurant at night.

    Great location, away from the busyness of Moro but close enough with a taxi boat or ferry to explore the island. Good communication throughout the booking process and host very helpful with information on tours and extra activities. Also assisted with transfers from Salvador Marítimo. Additional thoughtful inclusions - tea, coffee, massage (additional cost), complimentary use of SUP and kayak.

    This hostel is exceptionally beautiful. Don’t hesitate one minute to book this place. The common areas are lovely, with an ocean view, a pool and more. There are lovely little details everywhere. Breakfast varies every morning and is freshly prepared for you the moment you sit down. And more importantly it is served with love. Lilly and Noella make sure you are 100% comfortable. The wifi worked perfectly fine.
