About Teju-Açu Ecopousada

Stilted bungalows surrounded by lush Atlantic Forest with superb views of Mount Pico.

Teju-Açu (translated affectionately as ‘Big Lizard’) takes its relationship with nature very seriously. Perched on stilts, deep in the pristine Atlantic Forest, the six bungalows were built with minimal disturbance to the surroundings, while maximising the connection with the island's stunning, UNESCO-listed surroundings. The low buildings allow the views of Morro do Pico, the island's famous volcanic peak, to shine and inside, rustic-chic aesthetic interiors are sophisticated yet earth-friendly. The words that spring to mind include, tranquil, picturesque and thoroughly relaxed...

Property details

The property

The sheltered pool and bar are definitely the hub of Teju-Açu, complete with their glorious views of Pico and shady double sun loungers. In the restaurant, expect inventive regional dishes with a strong emphasis on seafood, fruits and the freshest of vegetables, whilst at the spa, you'll find yoga, massages, and aromatherapy sessions, all carried out amid those incredible trees.

The rooms

Teju-Açu has sux bungalows, each divided into two rooms, and all with incredible views across the trees. Inside, there are four poster beds draped in mozzie nets, restored-wood furniture and lighting fixtures made from onion skins (really!). The bathrooms have solar-heated showers, hair dryers, and L'Occitane amenities whilst outside, private balconies and hammocks are the perfect place to enjoy the quiet forest setting.

Activities

Mere steps from Conceição Beach and with easy access to nearby Boldró Beach, much of life at Teju-Açu revolves around the sand. The hotel can also arrange boat rides for a different view of the coastline, diving excursions, and guided hikes into the forested interior, as well as visits to the Tamar Project, a local sea turtle conservation centre.

Why we love it

Staying in the bungalows, suspended in the pristine Atlantic Forest, is a true tree-house experience, complete with wildlife encounters right outside your hammock-hung balcony.

Insiders Tip

Book your spa treatments and dinner reservations at the restaurant early – both are pretty popular!

Something to think about

Teju-Açu prioritises sustainability over luxury amenities, and there’s no direct beach access, which could be a dealbreaker for some.
