Pousada Etnia
For those who don’t have to be right next to the beach, Pousada Etnia is a small hotel near Trancoso’s Quadrado. The palm shaded property features eight bungalows, most of which are named after exotic locales; and all of which have mosquito net-draped beds. The Marrocos room has white-washed walls and Arabic design elements. In the Tribal cottage, wooden African spears hang over stools with leopard-pattern upholstery. The pousada, or main house, fronts a large pool and is known for its stylish boutique, and hammocks are strategically hung from palms in serene spots. Children are not allowed.
