Pousada Caminho do Sol  

Perched atop a hill in Arraial do Cabo, this romantic pousada sits about 80 meters from Praia Grande’s white sand and crystalline waters. It’s roughly 5 km from the city center and steps from the Flávia Alessandra Statue, with Fisherman’s Deck, Window of Paradise, Prainha, Little Beach and Forno Beach all within easy reach. Two hours from Rio de Janeiro by car, the guest house feels like a seaside hideaway with quick access to the town’s main sights.

Gardens, peaceful spots and sea-and-city views set the mood — simple, relaxed and slightly romantic. Rooms are air-conditioned and comfortably appointed with minibars or refrigerators, 32-inch TVs, safes and daily housekeeping. Expect fine, tasteful décor and handy extras like hair dryers, ceiling fans and free Wi‑Fi throughout the property.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar while you soak up sea-breeze mornings. The property also offers a sauna, a diving club connection for ocean adventures, tour assistance and on-site shopping. Free self-parking and complimentary wireless internet keep things easy and practical.

A conference center with two meeting rooms and a business center make this pousada suitable for small events or meetings. The front desk is open 24 hours and staff speak multiple languages.

Dine at Sol na Cozinha, an on-site brasserie serving Italian dishes with a garden view, or try local flavors in the guest house’s restaurant and bar. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM, and limited room service is available for later mornings or relaxed evenings.
