Fodor's Expert Review Pousada Mangabeiras

Rua Da Praia s/n, Salvador, Bahia, 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
