Pousada Por do Sol

Twelve rooms arranged around a garden pool on Rua João Batista dos Santos, Pousada Por do Sol faces the Atlantic side of Ilhabela — an island reached by a 15-minute ferry from São Sebastião on the São Paulo coast. Balconies on each unit look toward the sun-set water, explaining the name.

The property runs a game room with ping-pong and pool table, a bar, sun deck, and spa lounge alongside the outdoor pool. A shuttle service handles transfers, useful given Ilhabela's limited road access. Family rooms are available, and daily housekeeping is included.

The surrounding village sits close to trails into the Atlantic Forest reserve that covers 85% of the island. The tour desk organises diving, waterfall walks, and boat trips — the main reasons most guests cross the strait.
