Top 10 Best Boutique Hotels in Brazil
Felipe Sander • March 10, 2021
Follow bellow our Top 10 list of the best destinations in Brazil for who are looking for charming and romantic small boutique hotels.
Tourism for two has been growing at a time of pandemic. Large hotels are no longer the focus due to the crowds at the time of check-in, breakfast and even on the premises of the properties. The high turnover also puts at risk the good functioning of the big hotels that need to reinforce their cleaning even more to avoid contamination by the covid-19.
Therefore, a good option for those who can not stand to stay at home and want to escape that routine, are the small hotels that we call "pousadas" in the interior of Brazil.
Also following biosafety protocols, small luxury properties gain strength in this new scenario.
But a precious tip: many of them do not accept children because they do not have a structure for the little ones. For this reason, the destinations mentioned below promise to offer a second honeymoon with champagne in the moonlight, exquisite cuisine, comfort and a lot of peace.
1 - Abracadabra Pousada - Armação dos Búzios - RJ
With over 40 years of history, Abracadabra Pousada is a perfect retreat just 160 km away from Rio de Janeiro (capital).
Located close to the famous Rua das Pedras, the Pousada is perched high on a hillside in Morro do Humaitá. The view of Búzios bay is breathtaking and the infinity pool, one of the few in the region, contemplates the most famous sunset in the city.
There are only 16 different rooms that go from the garden view (the cheapest rooms), to the Superior category (with partial sea view), the Deluxe room with balcony and sea view and an exclusive loft-style suite (the latter includes a bathrobe, coffee maker and even a charming record player with some vinyl´s discs to enjoy nostalgia).
The beds are super comfortable, the bathroom amenities are from the famous French brand L´occitane and the housekeeping clean the room twice a day.
But does not stop there. The breakfast is signed by Chef Bruno Barros, famous for also leading the Místico Restaurant that is inside the Pousada. One thing is for sure: excellent gastronomy guaranteed every day of your stay!
The staff is very welcoming, making you feel totally at home. With an a la carte menu, your orders go straight from the kitchen to your table. The dishes are modern and mix Mediterranean and contemporary cuisine, without leaving Brazilianness aside. A tip: like most Buzios Pousadas and Hotels, it does not have parking for all vehicles. So it is better to go by transfer or leave the vehicle stopped near the Pousada while exploring the city by walking or by boat. Due to its privileged location, it will not be difficult to access the Center, the beaches of Azeda and Azedinha, João Fernandes, Praia dos Ossos and Canto.
Reservations can be made through the link: www.abracadabrapousada.com.br
