Belas Praias Flats

The blackout curtains keep the morning outside until whenever you decide to let it in. When they open, Pituba is already up: shops lifting their shutters, restaurants getting ready for the day, Rua Pedro Longo starting to stir. Inside, the air conditioning keeps the room cool, the fridge holds whatever you bought the night before, and the kitchen is waiting for an unhurried coffee. That is the idea behind Belas Praias Flats: a home of your own in the middle of the village.

Apartments with a life of their own

There are no corridor hotel rooms here. These are full apartments, from studios to two-bedrooms, and every one has a kitchen, fridge, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Among them are eight one-bedroom apartments, each individually decorated, with a private kitchen with fridge and oven, and blackout curtains that guarantee a long sleep after a day by the sea.

The bed gets real attention: premium bed linen, a feather duvet and a pillow-top mattress. The Wi-Fi is free, both wireless and wired, a useful detail for anyone who needs to get real work done during their stay. There is also a bar on the property.

The street at your door

The address is Rua Pedro Longo, 103 B, in Pituba, the street of Itacaré's restaurants and shops. In practice, dinner, ice cream and the walk home at the end of the night are all sorted without a car. Having your own kitchen leaves the choice to you: cook at home on a rainy day or head out to the nearest table.

From bed to sand

Praia da Concha is about a 10-minute walk away. For a beach day, the property offers beach umbrellas, loungers and beach towels, as well as transport to the beach, so you don't have to carry your gear through the village. On the way back, the apartment is the place to rinse off the salt, open the fridge and rest with the air conditioning on.

Who it's for

For couples and travelers who prefer the independence of an apartment to a pousada room, and for those staying longer than a weekend who want to cook now and then. Also for those traveling with a pet, since the property accepts pets. Anyone who wants Pituba at the door, with restaurants and shops a few steps away, will find the right location here. It is not the address for those looking for isolation and the quiet of the forest: the street is the center of the village's nightlife and dining.
