Best hotels in Bonito

Ensconced by lush tropical gardens and just a short stroll from Bonito’s lively centre, Pousada Surucuá is a peaceful hideaway with all the thoughtful comforts you could want after a day in the wilderness. Family-run, it almost feels like a beloved country estate – all tropical gardens, hammocks scattered under fruit trees, and afternoon coffee and cake. Spacious, bright rooms open directly onto the greenery, and there's a pretty outdoor pool, too. With local tours on tap and town’s restaurants and shops a gentle walk away, Surucuá is a great balance of adventure-ready and genuinely restful.

Right in the heart of Bonito, Pousada Arte da Natureza is a splashy retreat in every sense. With pools edged in glass, jacuzzis bubbling under swaying palm trees, and waterfalls cascading into blue lagoons, it’s less a pousada and more a private water park. Behind the theatrics lies real comfort, however, with modern eco-style rooms, some with their own (incredible) plunge pools, and an on-site tour desk that will help you unlock Bonito’s treasures. Whether you want to snorkel in the crystalline rivers, float through flooded caves, or just stroll into town for a caipirinha, everything is at your fingertips.
