Pousada Enseada Das Garças  

On the lagoon edge in São Pedro da Aldeia — a spa pousada a minute’s walk from Lagoa de Araruama and a short stroll to Sudoeste Beach. Ideal for groups or a romantic escape; Ilha das Pombas sits about 0.5 mi away and Forte Beach is roughly 19 km.

The property keeps a relaxed seaside-meets-spa vibe. Rooms (15 total) feature private balconies, minibars, LED TVs, air conditioning and refrigerators, plus desks and blackout drapes. Daily housekeeping, multilingual staff and a 24-hour front desk keep things smooth.

Pamper at the on-site spa with massages and water treatments, dip in the pool or outdoor pool, and book excursions at the tour desk. Free self-parking and safe-deposit boxes are available. Wake up to lagoon breezes and a complimentary buffet breakfast each morning.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and in-room desks make work easy. 24-hour front desk and tour/ticket assistance help with logistics and bookings.

On-site restaurant dishes up local flavors and there’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 8:30–10:30, and limited-hour room service is available.
