It was perfect for a quiet relaxing few days

Location and breakfast were perfect with beautiful views and close proximity to the beach with bars and restaurants and the boat departs from there too!

Nothing at all

Hidden in the jungle with beautiful views over the sea. Great value, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, we ended up staying twice as long as we had originally booked for!

Like I said, it’s all about context and knowing what you’re turning up to. There’s no shop in Praia Vermelha but you can get drinks from the Pousada and we thought they were reasonably priced considering where you are. I recommend taking a few snacks as other than breakfast, no food is available at the Pousada so you have to go down to the beach. Like I said, we knew all this, so think it’s just important to be prepared and bring a few provisions.

It’s important to remember that Ilha Grande is a fairly remote island with no roads. So I think you have to put the accommodation into this context, and on that basis, we really loved Pousada Lagamar. Yes there is a little walk up to the Pousada but the perspective you get through the jungle rather than the just from the beach is really special. The rooms are basic but comfortable and there is house keeping every day. We loved sitting and looking out at the view and listening to the nature around us.

Ilha Grande is a bit pricey compared to the rest of Brazil, but it’s worth it.

Pousada Lagamar is situated at one of the more remote beaches of Ilha Grande. It’s a perfect spot if you seek a relaxing yet adventurous stay. If you’d like to hike and have beautiful beaches, you are in the right spot. The stuff of Pousada Lagamar is friendly and attentive.

Absolute paradise! This place will not disappoint! Isabelle and her team are the kindest and most gracious people. The position of the Pousada in the jungle looking out to sea . Highly recommend and will be back!!!

A little hard to get there (whim we knew), but when you have to do a few trips to the restaurants/the beach every day, it gets a little tiring. Again, we knew it was a hard access. There’s no generator in the property and one of the nights, the power went down and so the fan stopped working and we couldn’t sleep from midnight - 5am. Again, I knew we were in an island but it was tough and so hot.

The property had great views and we appreciated being close to nature. The staff were nice and helped us segunda up day trips to the beaches/islands.

Literally a DREAM. My fiance and I came for a 5 day getaway and fell in love with praia vermhelha and were so happy with the pousada. The view, the location, yummy breakfast -paradise. Be prepared with bug spray but this is the place of dreams.

We really enjoyed our stay. Isabella and team made us feel very welcome. The breakfast on their beautiful terrace is amazing and watching the monkeys, coati and porcupine come by made it very special. It’s in a quiet area of the island which lots of hikes around. We really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

Very small detail, being shower pressure and temperature of water, but your on a pretty remote island so this can’t really be helped… did NOT affect the experience at all.

Unique! Jungle tree house vibes, comfortable basic rooms. Amazing views. Simple but delicious breakfast. Amazing staff!! They were very helpful and kind, always smiling and sincere. Felt like I was able to disconnect from the world and just relax surrounded by nature. What an amazing experience!

Beautiful Pousada on the quiet side of the island, just a little walk from Praia Vermelha (don't bring too much luggage with you up the jungle path). Great if you love the quiet and safety and perfect place to enjoy the beauty of nature. Very lovely hostess, great breakfast and very clean and comfortable rooms. Sometimes boat trips are organised by the hostess or you could arrange something yourselves from the nearby restaurant and dive center dolce vita. That is also the only nearby restaurant for dinner, and they serve delicious food. You can go on several hikes, routes are well marked and well maintained (bring good shoes though), and visit nearby beaches by foot (1 to 1.5h hike, or longer if you wish to go further). Or arrange for a taxi boat to see other beaches on the island. We've started off our honeymoon trip here and it was absolutely beautiful. Would recommend it to everyone!

If there is a little paradise on earth, it is in Pousada Lagamar. The hostess is the sweetest, very helpful. She does everything to give her guests a nice stay. It is decorated in a natural way down to the smallest details, for people, nature and animals, ... the fresh flowers on the breakfast buffet, .. The location is breathtaking. We saw the monkeys after breakfast. Hopefully one day I will come back to Ilha Grande and then it will definitely be in Pousada Lagamar. Don't hesitate, make a reservation

This place was one of the best places I've ever been in my life. If I could give it a 20 out of 10 I would. Room and view were absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. Location was incredible, as there were lots of options (hikes, tours, beaches) for things to do. Isabel was extremely friendly and helpful regarding information about the island. Breakfasts were delicious in a beautiful setting. We really hope to be able to return some day.

Difficult to know what to start with, the place having so much to offer. First, it is incredibly comfortable considering the remote location it is built in. You will love the quietness and the disconnection offered, literally, since the wifi is only available at the main bit. If you are lucky, you will admire monkeys or porcupines having dinner. Breakfast is also amazing and various in an idyllic environment.

Everything was perfect!

Pousada Lagamar is a truly magical place, run by wonderful people in the most beautiful of settings. We chose the pousada for the beautiful ocean views seen in the photos, and our stay did not disappoint. The rooms are exactly as shown and the breakfast is one of the best we've ever had! Throughout our stay, Isabel, Ezequiel and their family went above and beyond to make us feel at home, answer our questions and suggest activities for the day. They also worked tirelessly to resolve an electricity issue, after a storm caused a power cut in the area. You truly couldn't ask for warmer and more attentive hosts! We were sad to leave and can't wait for our next stay at Lagamar. Muito obrigada, muchas gracias!!

The pousada lagamar is perfect for everyone who enjoys time in nature and silence. The location is on another beach than abraao but therefore your can enjoy the nature and the beach for yourself. The owners and everyone who works at the pousada and in the restaurant which also remains to the same owners are very nice. There is a familiar atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable. Breakfast is really tasty and fresh.
