Pousada Do Toque

A blue-tiled pool facing the ocean, hammocks strung between palms, and white sand close enough that going back to bed feels like a reasonable plan. This beachfront boutique hotel sits two hours north of Maceió in a village that feels genuinely off the map, and the whole point is to do very little about it. Suites and chalets have crisp linens, dark wood, and private patios; some add their own pools, though the sea is already right there.
