About

Pousada Villa Da Prainha

Pousada Villa Da Prainha sits in Ilhabela's lively entertainment area, a short stroll from the sands.

A daily breakfast with fresh fruit is included, and the on-site team can arrange tours, car hire, and even grocery shopping.

The property centres on an outdoor pool surrounded by a sun terrace and garden, with a solarium for lazy afternoons. For those who want to explore more actively, diving, snorkelling, and fishing are all on offer. Staff consistently earn praise for their warmth and helpfulness—guests say they can organise almost anything you ask for.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort scores lower than other categories — While rooms are spacious, the comfort rating sits at 7.4 — lower than overall guest satisfaction.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this guesthouse won't work — the policy is strict.
  • Limited dining options on site — There's a coffee shop, but no full restaurant or bar — you'll head out for meals beyond breakfast.
  • No smoking on the property — Smokers will need to step off-site — all indoor and outdoor areas are non-smoking.
