Le Relais de Marambaia

On Rio de Janeiro’s rugged western shore in Barra de Guaratiba — a small beach hotel a few steps from Telegraph Stone and about a 4-minute walk to Barra de Guaratiba Beach. Close to Grumari Beach, Prainha Municipal Natural Park and the Roberto Burle Marx estate, this spot is ideal for beach-and-nature escapes and intimate getaways.

A tiny, romantic hideaway with just seven individually decorated rooms. Rooms feature private balconies, minibars, flat-screen/LCD TVs, bathrobes and partially open bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. Expect a quiet, boutique vibe with a small library and personalized service.

Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a sauna, steam bath and solarium. Outdoor pool and poolside bar, beach chairs and a tour desk for local excursions. Laundry, safe-deposit boxes and concierge services are available, and free Wi‑Fi is offered on the property — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and unwind by the pool.

Complimentary wireless internet, 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff. Concierge and concierge-assisted transfers available; limited on-site parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge). Complimentary newspapers and room service (limited hours) are provided.

An on-site restaurant, bar/lounge, poolside bar and a coffee shop/cafe keep things simple and local. Room service is available during limited hours and a complimentary full breakfast is served each morning (typically 8:00–10:00 AM). Several local restaurants are within easy walking distance.
