Casas Brancas Boutique - Hotel & Spa

A whitewashed pousada perched above Búzios bay, Casas Brancas is the kind of place Brigitte Bardot theoretically blessed when she put this fishing village on the map in the '60s. The 32 rooms are cozy and Mediterranean in feel, arranged around courtyards and terraces with views over the water. There's a restaurant, a spa that punches above the hotel's intimate scale, and a terrace where a cold drink at sunset tends to make every other amenity feel optional.
