Santa Paula  

On Paraná’s sun-soaked coast in Guaratuba, just one block from the beach and about 1.9 miles from Guaratuba’s center and bus station. Roughly 1.5 hours from Curitiba, and a short walk to the scenic Morro do Cristo. A family-friendly base for beach days and local sightseeing.

A lively seaside hotel with 108 air-conditioned rooms and apartments. Rooms show cheerful, colorful décor and come with a mini-bar, TV and private bathroom; some units add a seating area and accessible features. Expect palm-treeed outdoor dining, a glass-surrounded sun terrace and friendly, event-ready vibes. Pets are not allowed.

Swim in a warm indoor pool or the outdoor pool with a wet bar—there’s even a bar set right in the pool. Spa and sauna for slow afternoons, plus a fitness center, sports court, games room, lounge, chapel and a kids’ playroom. Free Wi‑Fi and on-site parking keep things easy. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings just steps from the sand.

Event and conference center for up to 400 guests, a business center and wireless internet throughout. 24-hour reception and meeting-ready public spaces make this a solid pick for conferences and larger gatherings.

Buffet breakfast served outdoors amid palm trees and wicker furniture. Sip refreshing drinks at the pool bar or hit the on-site restaurant, which serves dishes during high season—great for rinsing off a beach day with a cold drink.
