Canoa dos Anjos Suites

Twelve suites over three walk-up floors on Rua Marcílio Dias, Canoa dos Anjos sits a short stroll from Praia dos Anjos, Arraial do Cabo's calm, clear-water beach favored for schooner departures to the Blue Grotto. No elevator serves the upper floors, so lighter packers fare best; the trade-off is tile-floored rooms with private bathrooms and sockets placed bedside rather than across the room.

Cleaning visits are optional and can be waived daily, useful for guests keeping wet gear or boat schedules on their own terms. The address suits couples and small families wanting easy beach access over central-square nightlife.
