Villa Tiba Hotel, Jericoacoara

One of the newest openings in Jericoacoara, Villa Tiba brings a fresh sense of calm to a village famous for its wind, its dunes and its easygoing energy. Born, as the owners like to say, from a love of Jeri, the pousada pairs elegant, comfortable rooms with the kind of warm, attentive service that makes a stay feel personal.

For windsurfers and wing foilers, the location is close to ideal. You are only a short walk from the sports center and launch, so you can be rigged and on the water in minutes and back for lunch without a fuss. Yet Villa Tiba sits a little back from it all, tucked into a quiet pocket shaded by old cashew trees and wide gardens. After a long day on the water you come home to somewhere genuinely peaceful, well away from the buzz of the busier streets, while the restaurants, shops and the lively Rua do Forró are still just around the corner whenever you want them.

The heart of the pousada is its pool, with an integrated hydromassage and an uninterrupted view of the sun setting over the sea. There is a steam sauna to unwind tired muscles, and mornings begin with a generous tropical breakfast buffet served overlooking the beach: fresh fruit and juices, breads, savory and sweet tarts, hot dishes, and tapiocas and crepes made to order. Fast Wi-Fi throughout, 24-hour reception and airport transfers (on request) round out the essentials.

Every suite has its own rustic veranda of wood and carnauba thatch, complete with a hammock, table and chairs, and views across the sea, gardens and pool. Upper-floor suites add a private rooftop mirante, perfect for the sunset or for a sky full of stars of the kind you simply no longer see in a city. Inside, expect king-size beds, 400-thread-count linen, a deep soaking tub, solar-heated pressurized rain showers, 55" smart TVs, air conditioning, a minibar and a safe, all finished with the soft glow of handmade natural-fiber lamps.
