Pousada Lagamar

I had an absolutely amazing time at Lagamar and Praia Vermelha! Ezequiel and Luciana are lovely and so are the rest of the staff! I felt so at home I booked an extra 4 nights. The breakfast is good and the dinners are amazing, cooked by them. The location is 5 min from different beaches, it's super quiet and with awesome views. Praia Vermelha has nice places to eat (the pizzeria!) and at the Pousada they can organise different boat tours for you. For me, it was the best experience in Brazil so far, I highly recommend!!

I loved Pousada Lagamar, the location was lovely, inside the rainforest and very close to the sea. From my room I was able to see amazing sunsets. Delicious food, great staff, specially the owners, Luciana and Ezequiel, who were very helpful with the planning of my trip. I also definitely felt the love Eduardo puts in everything he does, from receiving you with a great smile to leaving your room sparkling clean. I would love to go back!!!

Very friendly people

The rooms were too close to each other

The location is great, with a nice view. We stayed here 3 nights, and got an upgrade to a room with a better view after the first night, because someone else did not show up. You can have dinner at the pousada, with the owner cooking a nice 3-course dinner. Very good fish was served, and also vegetarian meals on request. The first night, there was no electricity because a cable from the mainland broke, but we got candles in the room and we could still have dinner there by candlelight, which actually made for a nice island atmosphere. You can make day hikes in the area, snorkel (the owner can explain a snorkel spot where there are often sea turtles; unfortunately, we did not have good weather during our stay) and organise boat tours. We did the walk to the cave (ask beforehand for specific direction) which was very nice (the cave is on private property, the owner hangs around to guide you to the cave, 20rs per person, he gave us cacao and bananas in addition to the cave viewing :-)). We arrived at Pousada Lagamar from Vila do Abroãa (with a decent speedboat, costs 450rs; simple taxi boat should be cheaper, but in bad wheather maybe not so nice), from the mainland from Angra dos Reis is 50rs per person with Natiga.

If you are looking for a non touristic and more remote area in Ilha Grande then Pousada Lagamer is the right choice. Such a cute and clean Pousada. It's not luxurious, it's the basic staycation where you connect with nature, eat home made food and stay in a simple cozy environment. Rooms were clean, there was no mosquitos or bugs and the managers were so helpful. We enjoyed the food and the hospitality. They don't speak English so download SAY HI app and you will be fine :)
