About
Pousada Picinguaba is a small, beachfront guesthouse in Ubatuba, on the coast of the state of São Paulo in Brazil. Its setting is the main reason to stay: it sits in an area of preserved Atlantic rainforest, so the forest and the sea are close at hand rather than distant excursions.
What kind of stay it is
The pousada is intimate in scale, which suits travellers who want a quiet base rather than a large resort. Its character is described as rustic luxury, meaning a relaxed, natural feel with comfortable accommodation, in keeping with its surroundings.
Why visit
- Direct access to the beach, with the sea a short walk from the pousada.
- Easy access to pristine nature, including the Atlantic rainforest that covers much of this part of the coast.
- A peaceful, unhurried atmosphere suited to rest, walking and time outdoors.
Ubatuba is known along this stretch of the São Paulo coast as a place of beaches and forested hills, so guests who enjoy being outdoors will find the surroundings well matched to the pousada's setting. Those who prefer nightlife or a busy town centre may find the quiet, nature-focused location a better fit for a short break than for a lively city stay.
