Suítes Luxo Marambaia- Epic House
Beachfront pool with direct sea access
About this hotel
The beachfront position is the story here: the pool sits within a few steps of direct sea access, and the sun terrace and lush garden fill the space between the two rather than one crowding out the other. Rooms carry sea views and balconies as standard, with minibars and sofa beds for slightly longer stays. Breakfast is American-style and served in the room, and an on-site bar covers evenings without a taxi run. Barra de Guaratiba Beach itself is under a kilometre away, though Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens sit 43 kilometres out and Galeão International Airport 57, marking this as a genuinely coastal, out-of-town base rather than a central one.

- Sea-view rooms
Our take
This suits travellers prioritising direct beachfront access over central location, given the sea-adjacent pool and sun terrace less than a kilometre from Barra de Guaratiba Beach. The in-room breakfast and on-site bar keep the stay self-contained. Anyone needing to be near central Rio's sights or the airport for a short layover should look elsewhere, since the distances here run considerably longer than a Copacabana or Barra da Tijuca base.
- ✓Book a sea-view balcony room specifically, garden-facing units sit further from the water.
- ✓Walk to Barra de Guaratiba Beach directly rather than driving, it is under a kilometre.
- ✓Plan the 57-kilometre run to Galeão Airport with buffer time, this is genuinely out of town.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the beachfront setting does most of the work: the pool and sun terrace sit close enough to the sea that the two blur into one coastal stretch rather than competing amenities. The in-room breakfast and on-site bar keep things simple for a stay built around the water rather than sightseeing. The real distance from central Rio and the airport is worth weighing before booking, since this rewards travellers who came specifically for the coast.
