Pousada Picinguaba: Pousada Picinguaba, Brasil
First Impression
I believe the perfect honeymoon is not about the destination, rather it is about the precious time a couple spends together celebrating their new path in life. Which is why my husband and I decided that we had to visit Pousada Picinguaba, because there we could truly escape the distractions in life, as the hotel had no TVs, no Internet, and no telephone reception, thus the focus completely on each other.
Location
Pousada Picinguaba is situated half-way between Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo in a quiet, seaside village. The hotel is tucked away on a hill surrounded by the ultimate in natural beauty — with a view so magnificent it truly takes your breath away. There are only ten rooms, ensuring seclusion and exceptional and attentive service
While the decor in the honeymoon suite is simple, it has everything newlyweds could want and more. The comfortable King sized bed is draped in a romantic mosquito netting. Every day cold, fresh water is brought to the room and placed on the large dining table in the middle of the room. The orchids and candles that decorate the room add to its rustic charm.
The Bathroom
Adjacent to the bed is an amazing jacuzzi that is reason enough to visit Pousada Picinguaba. There is also a separate ensuite bathroom that contains a shower.
The Extras
Only the honeymoon suite has a spacious balcony with an inviting hammock that overlooks the sea. Many nights were spent swinging in the hammock watching the sun set over this tropical hideaway. Breakfasts are included in the room price and like all typical Brasilian breakfasts are large and delicious.
Why It Is Andi’s Pick
This charming pousada wins my heart over with its magnificent pool that is surrounded by the very best of what Brasil has to offer.
Pousada Picinguaba’s philosophy, which they achieve effortlessly, is luxury means tranquility, nature, and authenticity.

This looks so relaxing – I want to go to Brazil SO badly after reading your posts.
I want to go with you!!!!!!!
Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re soooo welcome!!!
I spent about an hour at work today reading all of your wedding and honeymoon posts! Its my dream to honeymoon in Brazil! Thanks for all the tips! 🙂
Reeeeeeally? I’m SO touched that your spent an hour on my blog. THANK YOU! I hope you can honeymoon there, because I can’t think of a better place seriously.
Gorgeous Andi!
It sure is Cleo!
Wow this place looks so beautiful and it must have been great to ditch all the technology for awhile! I have so many friends from Brazil and your posts make me think I need to visit them soon 🙂
It truly was gorgeous! And yes, I highly recommend ditching technology for a couple of days every once in a while. It’s so unhealthy to be SO connected. You need to visit your friends dear!!!!!
This is one of those places where the sea is clearer than a swimming pool…lucky you…I’m so jealous!
🙂
Oooh great observation and you’re totally right!!!
I couldn’t agree with you more!
This looks like a dream! It can’t be real. You are so lucky!!!
It felt SO surreal the entire time I was there!!!!
I loved the pousadas in Brazil but that is one seriously gorgeous pousada!
They are all pretty amazing I must say, each pousada has something special the other doesn’t, but yes PP is up there for the best!
Hi Andi,
Glad to have stumbled upon your blog. This place looks amazing, especially with no distractions from the internet and such. I haven’t been to Brazil and have always envisioned it to be loud and crazy. Glad to know there’s a quiet seaside village tucked in there too. Will definitely consider it for a visit. Glad you enjoyed it for your honeymoon. Que romantico! — Michelle
Oh gosh you must erase that image of Brasil from your head dear! Most of the country consists of sleepy, peaceful villages! 🙂 So delighted that you stumbled across my blog!!! XO
What a gorgeous place to stay and relax with your significant other! Love the view and the hammock in the balcony! Lucky lady!
Thanks for stopping by today.

I love the view from that pool – I could definitely imagine spending all day there tanning, reading and sipping caipirinhas!
If I had had one week there I would have probably spent 3 days doing exactly that. But the explorer in me won out!!!
Congratulations on your marriage! What a stunning place for a honeymoon — if that doesn’t make you want to visit, I don’t know what will.
Thanks a million gorgeous! What sweet words!!!
