O Sitio has the feeling of an island home, with an easy, unpretentious atmosphere shaped by the family who run it. There are just nine suites, spread across two buildings – the Cabana, set closer to the water, and the Sobrado, at the centre of the property.

The pousada sits in the quiet bay of Abraãozinho, with its own stretch of sand and direct access to the sea. Vila do Abraão lies just a short boat trip across the cove, but the sense of separation is immediate.
