Aquarela Praia Hotel

On the beachy edge of Arraial d'Ajuda (Porto Seguro), a short stroll puts you at Apaga Fogo Beach and about 7 minutes on foot from Aquarios Island. The hotel sits roughly 3 km from the town center and is close to local landmarks like Nossa Senhora da Ajuda Church—ideal for a family-friendly beach escape.

This charming beach hotel blends relaxed, coastal decor with practical comforts. Rooms are air‑conditioned and feature minibars/refrigerators, flat‑screen or LCD TVs (some with DVD players), safes and daily housekeeping. Expect a laid-back vibe, local touches nearby (art galleries and seafood spots), and easy access to sand-and-surf activities.

Two outdoor pools and an aquapark promise splashy days; the full‑service spa and massage room dial up relaxation. There’s a yoga area, a diving club, bike rentals, a library and barbecue area, plus supervised playrooms for kids. Tour assistance, laundry, car rental and a 24‑hour front desk keep logistics smooth. Free self-parking is available and roundtrip airport shuttles run for a surcharge.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property and multilingual, 24‑hour reception make short work of remote needs and travel logistics.

An on‑site restaurant serves regional flavors and a bar/lounge pours cocktails and cold brews. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served each morning from 7 AM to 10 AM, and several seafood restaurants are within easy reach.
