Vila Kalango

Stilted bungalows built from eucalyptus, mud brick, and straw sit directly on Jericoacoara's main beach, a remote village on Brazil's northern coast so unhurried it only got electricity a couple of decades ago. This pousada leans into that spirit: no TVs, no in-room phones, four-poster beds draped in mosquito nets, and a terrace pool that fills up fast at sunset. There's a kitesurfing school, a spa, and an open-air restaurant serving fresh fish by candlelight.
