Hotel Azul Pousada

The good-value-for-money Azul Pousada is a pleasant hostal in Jijoca de Jericoacoara (often shortened to Jericoacoara or just Jeri) on the northeast coast of Brazil, which has been called one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world. It offers affordable Jericoacoara accommodation just 100 metres/110 yards from the sunny beach. The hostal has 15 guest rooms around a small outdoor swimming pool surrounded by lounge chairs and hammocks. A fresh breakfast buffet is prepared every morning, featuring fresh fruit, bread, cakes, and fruit juices. The Azul Pousada has a great location near the beach, which is protected as part of Jericoacoara National Park. Every evening visitors climb the Por-do-Sol sand dune to watch the sun set over the ocean. Popular recreation includes surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, horseback riding, and riding dune buggies; the staff of the hostal can direct you to responsible local guides and equipment rentals. Jericoacoara is approx. 286 km/178 miles from the city of Fortaleza; most visitors reach Jericoacoara via buses run by Redenção or privately hired 4x4 trucks.
