Getting to Boipeba is not easy, but staying at Pousada Santa Clara makes the effort very worthwhile. Charles communicated with me via email to make all arrangements for our stay efficiently and promptly. I was not feeling well upon arrival and Charles made every effort to provide anything I might have needed. The location and grounds are lovely; just a... More

What a wonderful place. It's my second stop here and it just gets better. This isn't luxury, but it's caring and thoughtful with an eye for detail. The rooms a simple and lovely, however if it's AC you're looking for, this isn't for you. And there's no cellphone reception (heaven!) The setting/gardens are a tropical delight. The food isn't haute... More

The food at Santa Clara is fantastic - we rarely ate anywhere else because we got... More

We had a wonderful time on Ilha de Boibpeba and the Pousada Santa Clara was very special. From the moment you arrive Charles, one of the owners, makes sure you are comfortable and gives you an orientation to the island. We stayed for four nights and wish we had booked for longer. The pousada is set in a beautiful garden... More

Charles an expat from New York has created a beautiful paradise seconds from the beach. Our room was lovely, clean, 2 levels with a hammock on the terrace. The sound of the waves crashing nearby! We were fortunate enough to meet his Mom Clara. What an absolute delight! Thank you!

We stayed at Santa Clara for 9 days during our 10 weeks in Brazil. It was the best Pousada we found and we spent a lot of time finding special places to stay. Charles the owner was super helpful from our initial enquiry and arranged the trek (ferry, taxi, speedboat) from Salvador for us and Matthias his partner met us... More

My husband and I stayed at Pousada Santa Clara for five nights in August - a great time of year to go. It was warm & sunny during the day, cool & rainy once we went to bed. This was undoubtedly the highlight of our two week stay in Brazil (we also did Rio and Salvador). Charles, Mark and Mattias... More
