This luxurious hotel’s nine suites are divided into master suites and luxury suites, each one with exclusive décor inspired by the name of the room.

The rooms and the hotel itself are decorated with local artworks in addition to several pieces by French artist, Jacques Reys and English artist, Margaret Mee.

Seemingly built with its natural surroundings in mind, Pousada Estrela do Mar resembles a modern-day wooden farmhouse, and is cozy without being too cute. The swimming pool is an excellent feature and receives plenty of the day’s hottest sun for topping up your tan yet plenty of wooden overhangings to cool off in the shade. Simple, airy rooms and open corridors create a casual ambience and the breakfast is in a league of its own: a wide selection of fresh fruits, several types of breads, cakes, cereals and juices will ensure guests never start the day hungry.
