O CÉU DE BOIPEBA
Magnificent wooden structure that seems to float on the forest, with beautiful suites with view and hammock, made of wood and glass
The Ceu de Boipeba (Boipeba sky) offers us a chance to get closer to the skies over this small Bahian island. Like a raft from the peaks, this magnificent wooden structure, totally integrated into the surrounding nature, seems to float on the forest. The beautiful suites, composed of wood and glass like open spaces, all have sea views. All have a hammock. You feel as if you're blending into a heavenly landscape. No television. Nature reigns supreme. Ventilation is natural.

Não valeu a pena, não iria de novo!! Apesar de bonita a paisagem, o valor não compensa visto que na ilha possuem outros locais bonitos com vistas bonitas também.
- the space is incredibly beautiful and beautifully decorated
- the rooms are decent size and all have a view over the jungle
- the food is great! The drinks are generous. Coffee is lovely and dark!
- the walk to Cueira and Tassimirim beaches is very pleasant. Highly recommend it (it’s all downhill as well, which is nice)
- our varanda did not have a bathtub but it did have a hammock, which is lovely for a nap.
- the staff is helpful and friendly. They’re really outstanding! They will give you contacts for the luggage porters (carregadores) who charge ~ 60BRL to take your luggage all the way up to the hotel. They will also give you contacts of people who can help arrange a taxi transfer from Salvador (720BRL) or even a boat transfer if they have one on the day (the company needs a minimum of 10 people to run a service).
Cons
- it is quite a hike to get up to the hotel. The way up is very steep and sandy. When it rains, it becomes somewhat slippery. You can get one of the quad bike tour guys to give you a ride up (30BRL) which will take you about 2/3 of the way but which you can only do during the day. If you go out for drinks and dinner in town, get ready for a workout on your way back to a hot room.
- the rooms do not have aircon and the fan(s) provided do little to cool it down
- shower pressure is v low, which is understandable given how far away from the centre is it.
FYI
- this is a jungle lodge so expect lots of ambient jungle noise. That’s part of the charm but also make sure to pack good quality earbuds. Sleeping masks are a must: the sun rises fairly early and there is no way of keeping the room dark during the day.
- generally the heat is very intense because of how humid it is ~ 90% humidity. Be prepared for that!
Mas o acesso pra chegar lá é bem difícil!
