Introduction
Welcome to the new site of “Pousada Um Canto do Mar”!
The Portugueses Pedro, Catarina e Francisco have landed on the island in 2001, fallen in
love with it and became native.
The Pousada is located on the nice fishermen´s village of Aratuba, a
quite lively place in Summer and peaceful quiet in Spring or any other
season.
We stay at the far corner of the village (facing the Atlantic Ocean)
sand and sea ahead: you just have to open the small wooden gate and
step on the fine and warm sand.
Anything better?
As (the famous Brazilian writer) João Ubaldo Ribeiro says. “Heaven
the better, because the island’s heaven on earth”.
It has a wild beauty, a never ending beach, calm sea, natural swimming-pools, mangrouves, green everywhere... All the rest is our pleasant affair/business: comfort,security and kindeness.
Here you can practice “The difficult art of doing nothing”: a walk
by the seaside, a good chat in the garden or on the beach sipping a cool
drink while waiting for the magnnificent moonrising; you can have a tasty
“moqueca” (the island is famous for its fish and seafood), take a restful
nap on the hammock or simply be in love and profit the best of life.
So, don’t hesitate! Come and stay with us and join the group of guests
that became friends.
