Fodor's Expert Review Pousada Solar Mirador

Indulge in the extraordinary views of Rosa Beach while sitting, drink in hand, by the pool at this luxurious pousada. Silk drapes, bamboo-weave baskets, and expanses of dark, stained wood lend this upmarket guesthouse a Balinese feel. Its restaurant, Urucum ($$$$), specializes in the Brazilian seafood stew, moqueca. The dozen rooms, as well as two hot tubs, a steam room, sauna, and indoor swimming pool, are scattered about the thickly forested hillside and connected by wooden walkways and steps that are best suited to youthful legs. A highlight of each room is the veranda, strung with a hammock.
