The best hotels in Fernando de Noronha

What are the best hotels in Fernando de Noronha?

Fernando de Noronha is a remote Brazilian island of jungle covered hills, volcanic peaks and breathtaking beaches surrounded by clear turquoise water. For a special stay, Pousada Maravilha stands out for its sea views, romantic apartments, fine dining and spa, while Pousada Morena has a more polished boutique feel, with an infinity pool, stylish interiors and superb sunset views. Elsewhere, you’ll find laid-back eco-lodges, friendly family-run pousadas and well-priced bases close to Vila dos Remédios. Whichever you choose, book early — visitor numbers are limited and the best rooms disappear quickly.

The best places to stay in Fernando de Noronha

For luxury

• Pousada Maravilha is situated just above a stunning beach on the south side of the island with six romantic, airy, open plan apartments overlooking the sea, and boasting spectacular views. With a fine dining restaurant too, it's the ideal spot for a quiet honeymoon, complete with spoiling spa treatments.
• Pousada Morena is a smartly designed boutique hotel with unbeatable sunset views over Morro do Pico. Its elegant infinity pool, chic interiors, and on-site spa make it a top pick for luxury with a touch of barefoot cool.

For an eco vibe

• Pousada Teju-Açú is an eco-lodge a short walk from Conceição Beach. The chilled-out bungalows have four-poster beds and balconies, and there's a social vibe around the central pool.

For a central location

• Pousada Maria Bonita, a short distance away in the middle of the town, is a highly popular, unpretentious family-run boutique hotel with impeccable service. Its pool is small, but rooms are elegantly fitted out, and it's an excellent base for exploring the island.
• Pousada do Vale, on the edge of the town and just yards from Praia do Meio beach, is an equally unpretentious property surrounded by lush vegetation. They have a great restaurant and spa, and rooms are modern with wide balconies and wooden flooring.
• Noronha 350 is a small, friendly pousada tucked down a residential street in the Vila dos Remédios area. Stylishly simple rooms and a laid-back garden terrace make this a comfortable, well-priced base close to shops and beaches.

For families

• Pousada Zé Maria is a larger property with a range of rooms, ideal for a family vacation. The family bungalows cost a bit more but offer a lot more privacy. There's a good restaurant here too, and the kids will love the pool.
