This refined, 12-room pousada is a worthwhile spot to break the bank in Balneário. Classic white dominates the interior, all designed by the discerning, hands-on owner. Nespresso machines and Bose SoundDocks are standard, and some of the tuck-away-forever rooms feature outdoor bathtubs.
If you do leave the room, it's likely for the heated pool, the outdoor Japanese ofuro bath or the excellent bistro with impressive patio views – easily one of the top dining spots in town (mains R$65 to R$280). It's 500m from Praia dos Amores.
