This first class property on the south coast of Fernando de Noronha  is the best on the island. The immediate surroundings are gorgeous and unspoilt, with the National Park on the doorstep, and it’s a pleasant short walk or buggy ride from an exquisite beach. The island’s main village of Villa dos Remedios is a brief taxi ride away. The pousada’s views of the bay and offshore islets, defined by the island’s lush tropical greenery, are magnificent.

The property is the epitome of understated luxury: low rise, low impact and open plan, making the most of the island’s killer looks without spoiling them. The ample front deck has a good-size infinity swimming pool, loungers, day beds, a hammock here and there, and outdoor seating for the restaurant.  There’s a small spa and, with one of the best pools on the island – the dramatic scenery reflected in the water – the overall picture is stunning.

The guest accommodation – a handful of rooms and bungalows - is well-conceived with smart polished decking and a good range of top quality class facilities and amenities. The restaurant offers magical candle-lit dinners to round off your day after taking advantage of outdoor excursions (including diving) or independent exploration.
