Pousada Gênesis  

In the heart of Arraial do Cabo, this cozy pousada sits minutes from the sand. Praia Grande is about 260 m away, the boat port at Praia dos Anjos is roughly 800 m, and Atalaia Viewpoint, Forno and Pontal beaches are all a short drive. Family-friendly, accessible and sustainably minded, it’s a simple base for beach days and boat trips.

A modest, garden-surrounded guesthouse with a laid-back, fresh vibe. Suites come with minibars, manual air conditioning, private bathrooms, TV and hairdryers; some rooms add a balcony and hammock. The place offers beach and pool towels, a drying area for divers, parking (one space per suite) and warm, personalized service.

Cool off in the outdoor pool with sun loungers and parasols, sip at the poolside bar and grill on the barbecue area. There’s a terrace and garden to chill in, a kids’ playroom, laundry and dry‑cleaning services, express check‑out and free self‑parking. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and an included buffet breakfast served daily from 7:30–10:30.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available on the property and there’s a TV in a common area for quick catch‑ups; reception can also help arrange local tours.

On‑site options include a restaurant, a snack bar/deli and a kiosk/restaurant for casual meals, cold beer or a caipirinha. A simple, fresh buffet breakfast is included each morning.
