WHERE PEACE AND SIMPLICITY MEET
At the Bonete beach in Ilhabela , as well as the colors of the sunset , feelings and senses also merge… Blessed by God for living in a ” magic beach” , we try to reciprocate the best way possible! Bringing into our lodge and also into the heart of our visitors , this is our mission , 70 meters from the beach sand and the Nema river , with its cousy and simple astral , it’s bucolic by nature! The odd sensation of being in a legitimate caiçara house.Sensation that extends to the backyard and all the village , a smelling fresh coffee is served to everyone , allways full of joy , laughs and stories of the community…
RESPECT AND CAIÇARA CULTURE
Our culture and tradition is present in every little spots in our place , a warrior community used to handle adversities.
We speak differently , we use words from ancient portuguese that you may have never heard.
We make our traditional manioc flour through a process that is passed from generation to generation.
We have a lot of knowlodge about the sea , the weather and the fishing season of each fish species.
In Rosa's lodge you will feel introduced among the community!
TIPS OF WHAT TO BRING
A possible return by foot is sometimes necessary, so try to take just what's really necessary:
Sneakers, an appropriate backpack for trekking, sunscreen, a lot of repelent (because we really have lots of borrachudos, a local mosquito) and a great suggestion is to follow the bonete fashion, wearing long soccer socks up to the knees, because this little mosquito likes to sting our feet, so that's a good way to protect yourself, besides light pants, the tectel kind.
The borrachudos only repeoduce in extremely clean places , so somehow it's good that they're here haha, and the good thing is that at night they go away and give us some peace , because they have daily habits.
Don't forget to bring only the necessary - trekking with extra weight is not advisable , nowadays we have good options in the local restaurants , and even a small grocery store where you can find the "basic."
Consult us about the bagagge service , in case you want to do a light weight trekking.
