Eco-Pousada Casa Bobó

$ | Vila Monte Alegre s/n, Salvador, 45420–000, Brazil Fodor's Choice
Perched atop a hill in the the Mata Atlântica rain forest, with a 360-degree view across the beaches of Moreré and Bainema, this bohemian eco-pousada is the ultimate into-the-jungle retreat. Built from traditional materials such as piacava wood and local clay in conjuction with the local community of Monte Alegre, the bungalows have been designed to heighten the connection with nature, so showers with glass doors face out to the jungle and hammocks are hung to maximize star-gazing. While rustic and remote, the attention to detail (fluffy towels, candles, and courtesy sunblock) and highly personalized service enable romancing couples to feel right at home. Charismatic owner Myriam and her husband Nilton are always on hand to organize complicated transfers, oversee the delicious à la carte breakfast (with homemade bread, fresh fruits, and even ham imported from Spain), shake up a caiprinha with freshly plucked mangoes, or help you plan your exploration. Moreré beach is accessible by a pleasant 15-minute walk or five-minute motor-taxi.

  • Healthy, homemade food

Cons

Come sunset, recline in one of the old sofas set up in the sand over artisanal gin and tonics imported from Mallorca.

Pousada Mangabeiras

$$$ | Rua Da Praia s/n, Salvador, 45240–000, Brazil

Set amid native forest with views that stretch over the island and out to sea, the colorful bungalows at this pousada are some of Boipeba's more upmarket options. Each of the nine chalets offers king-size beds, SKY TV, and private balconies with hammocks and panoramic views. The master bungalow also has a Jacuzzi bath. Relax by the swimming pool or make the most of the wellness center, which offers a variety of massages and acupuncture. Although there is a small lift for luggage, the steep stairs up to this property from the beach mean it is not the best choice for those with physical challenges.

Pros

  • Generous buffet breakfast
  • 360-degree views

Cons

  • Brightly colored rooms not to everyone's taste
  • Tricky access
  • Often requires a minimum two-night stay
