Frequently asked
What is the average price per night for a holiday home in Ilhabela?
In this selection, nightly rates range widely. You can find a basic suite for as low as $36, while more luxurious villas with pools often cost above $200. Budget options include Elephant Guesthouse at $49 and Villa Do Portinho at $99, while higher-end properties like Condominio Casamarilhabela reach $404.
Which area of Ilhabela is best for a first-time visitor?
For first-timers, staying near a beach with easy access is ideal. Praia do Veloso offers a laid-back fishing vibe, with options like Elephant Guesthouse right on the sand. If you prefer more amenities, consider the area near Praia do Curral, which has a variety of holiday homes, such as Recanto Vitoria, a 16-minute walk from Curral Beach.
How do I get from the airport to a holiday home in Ilhabela?
The nearest major airport is São José dos Campos, and from there you’ll drive to São Sebastião and catch a short ferry to Ilhabela. Many holiday homes are within reach of the ferry terminal, but once on the island, a car is recommended for exploring, as some properties are in more remote areas.
Are holiday homes in Ilhabela self-catering?
Yes, most of the holiday homes on this page are self-catering, providing kitchens and often BBQ facilities. For example, Villa Do Portinho offers houses with kitchens and BBQ, and Casa Da Feiticeira includes a kitchen. This makes it easy to prepare meals and enjoy longer stays.
Holiday Homes in Ilhabela
Ilhabela, an island off Brazil’s São Paulo coast, is known for its lush Atlantic rainforest, dramatic waterfalls, and a coastline of more than 40 beaches. Holiday homes here let you trade hotel corridors for private space—often with a kitchen, a garden, and a pool—so you can live at an island pace, whether your base is a quiet fishing village like Praia do Veloso or a lively beach like Curral.
The range is wide: a no-frills suite with parking starts around $36 a night, while a five-bedroom villa with a pool and sauna near Pinto Beach costs $382. In between are eco-villages with mountain views, pool villas within walking distance of Feiticeira Beach, and beachfront houses where you can step straight onto the sand. What ties them together is independence—most come with self-catering facilities and the space to spread out. Note that this selection also includes a few villas and other non-hotel stays that share the same self-contained spirit.
The bottom line
If you value independence and space, and want to wake up to nature rather than hotel corridors, a holiday home in Ilhabela is a strong choice. These properties suit families or small groups who want to self-cater and spread out, often with a private pool or a garden. For those who prefer the convenience of a hotel—daily housekeeping, on-site restaurants, and concierge—you’ll find a wider range of options in our main Ilhabela hotels collection, or filter by specific needs like parking or pet-friendliness on our dedicated pages.
