Nova Onda Hotel  

In Cabo Frio, a short walk from Forte Beach and Japanese Island and minutes from Brava Beach and the Beach Handicraft Market. About 1 km from the city center, this family-friendly hotel puts sand and shops within reach.

Around 77 air-conditioned rooms split between family and couple layouts. Rooms include minibars, LCD TVs, desks and blackout curtains, with daily housekeeping. Opened in 2021, the property pairs modern touches with ocean-adjacent views and features an infinity-edge pool, jacuzzi and a full spa.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools — including an infinity pool — or soak in the jacuzzi. Relax in the sauna, steam room or spa center, then grab a drink at the bar/lounge or poolside bar. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to nearby beach bars.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected; a 24-hour front desk, elevator and onsite valet parking add convenience.

An on-site restaurant open to the public, a coffee shop/café and a bar serve local flavors and casual bites. Enjoy regional cuisine by the pool or grab a quick snack before hitting the beach.
