About

Suites Helena

Suites Helena sits on Rua Nagib Pombo in Ilhabela, about a 20-minute walk from Praia do Curral. The property keeps things simple and modern: each room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a mini-bar, and a private bathroom with a shower. Guests can choose from garden-view doubles or quadruple rooms, some with king beds, ideal for families or small groups.

The guesthouse is quiet and self-contained, with a garden and sun terrace for relaxing between beach trips. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and complimentary private parking removes the usual hassle of finding a spot on the island. The location is especially convenient for exploring Ilhabela's natural sights: Ribeirao Waterfall is just 470 metres away, and Praia Grande Beach is a short walk.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the property has a strict no-pets policy.
  • Limited on-site dining — There's no restaurant or breakfast service listed, so you'll need to head out for meals. Several nearby restaurants are within walking distance.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so if your flight or ferry arrives after midnight, you'll need to coordinate a later arrival with the property.
