Hotel Praia do Portinho

On Ilhabela’s south shore, right on the boardwalk facing Praia do Portinho Beach — a designated Marine Ecologic Sanctuary. This beach hotel sits minutes from Portinho Beach, Feiticeira and Juliao beaches, and is close to waterfalls like Tres Tombos and Pancada D'água and sights such as Cabras Island and Grande Beach.

Harmonious, modern architecture opened in 2010 and built for comfort. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with private balconies, minibars/refrigerators and LCD TVs; bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. The vibe mixes tropical seaside calm with playful, family-friendly touches like a kids’ playroom and easy access to diving and nature tours.

Dip in the outdoor pool and order at the poolside bar. Unwind in a hot tub, sauna, steam room or solarium. There’s a diving club and tour desk for island adventures, an arcade/game room, and 24-hour monitored parking. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight onto the sand.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a 24-hour front desk. Multilingual staff, express check-in, luggage storage, free self-parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle are available (shuttle for a surcharge).

Restaurante Gato Negro serves regional cuisine with ocean views. Grab drinks at the bar or poolside bar, order room service during limited hours, and enjoy a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 8:00 to 10:00 AM.
