The place is pure class and so are the hosts. We couldn't fault one part of our stay. The setting is spectacular. You are living in a the middle of an untouched rainforest with amazing wildlife. But you are also in luxury. Beautifully decorated, spacious and very comfortable. So much thought and love have gone into every aspect of this... More

We arrived at Vila Pedra Mar after 10 days in Brazil, during which we had found the country to be scenically stunning but the hospitality to be over-priced and lacking creativity or thought. Most of the poussadas we stayed in were purely functional, and they charged an excessive amount for such basic functionality. Vila Pedra Mar was the exception to... More

If you look at the photos of this amazing retreat and your first instinct is disbelief, "It can't be as beautiful, luxurious or perfect"...you are mistaken. Villa Pedra Mar is one of those rare places that exceeds expectations. We spend a week in Rio during Carnival and were looking for a respite from the craziness of the celebrations and crowds....

Get here quick before it is impossible to book a room!! This retreat is the epitome of a hidden gem - literally as you can only get here by boat once a day, and physically as the property has only 3 rooms and so only a limited number of guests can share in this hidden treasure. Inevitably this amazing place... More

Vila Pedra Mar is the only place I've ever stayed (8-12 January 2012) that far exceeded expectations. The sheer luxury of the accommodation is totally fabulous (those beds, that linen, those towels, those views!), the hosts – Jo, Sarie, Riann and Karien (and Daniel) – incredibly gracious and warm, the food wonderful and the setting sublime. We booked four nights... More

I'm one who usually thinks that reviews (either good or bad) are exaggerated, but I have to say that, after spending 5 nights at Vila Pedra Mar, the reviews don't come close to indicating how great this place is. There are several reasons why we will never forget our trip to the Vila: 1. Location and Accomodations - The Vila... More

Believe all the reviews - this is a really special place. ...It was the last stop on our honeymoon and the perfect end to the trip. We thought we had arrived in paradise when we were shown to the honeymoon suite. Definitely worth staying in this room if you can although the other two rooms looked v nice too. However,... More

We feel fortunate to have been able to stay at Vila Pedra Mar while we were on Ilha Grande. The place is amazing; beautiful rooms with views over the beach, great snorkeling out the front and some nice walks nearby. The closest to paradise we have ever experienced. The fact that the Vila is not in the main town makes... More

Trust the reviews; this is the best place we have ever stayed. The Villa is even more beautiful than the pictures show. We were so warmly received by our host, they helped us plan our days on the island and gave us great suggestions. The food was fantastic and the views absolutely breathtaking. I’m trying not to sound like a... More
