Commitment to Clean Instagram

Local Time: - Praia de Crena, Vila do Abraão, Ilha Grande - Angra dos Reis - Brazil

the sea on one side
the dense atlantic forest on the other
the ideal place to enjoy the sensation
live in brazilian nature

ASALEM is located directly on the spectacular Abraão Bay. Our proximity to the ocean offers rare and intimate glimpses of sea creatures like starfish and turtles. The forest attractsfrequent visitors, including monkeys, fireflies, blue butterflies, and a wide variety of exotic tropical birds. Asalem is deliberately rustic, we privilege the magic of candlelight. We are located closer to the town of Abraão (8 minutes by taxi-boat) but at the same time we are secluded, surrounded by the forest. Asalem is in the best location in all of Abraão Bay to watch the sunset and yes, that's the time we serve our special Happy Hour caipirinhas. The environment we strive for at Asalem is one of personal sanctuary and respect for the island environment.

Great little hotel with best caipirhnas in brazil! This place was a great value find. The breakfast view was great and its just so peaceful. The taxi service from the main port to hotel was easy to navigate with whatsapp and not too expensive. The happy hour was great and we tasted a lot of caipirinhas in Brazil but they did the best.

A little piece of paradise - I didn’t want to leave. A beautiful and relaxing place to unwind, with great facilities including a bar, restaurant and a boat taxi service to take you to the main village. The rooms were very comfortable and well set up and had great views. The staff are lovely and so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was included and was really good. Overall, had an amazing stay and would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful holidays in Ilha Grande. The staff are very kind and always on hand to assist. The breakfast is divine with all the beautiful view to the sea. The location is perfect away from the hustle and bustle of Abraham and at the same time affordable, few minutes by boat. We loved it and hope to return soon.

A little piece of tranquil paradise… We chose Asalem as we didn’t want to be in the thick of the central town. The staff are incredible- very Welcoming and helpful. The food is probably the best we ate during our travels in Brazil, breakfast is plentiful with fresh fruit, cakes and eggs anyway you like. We ate dinner on 2 nights here and the grilled fish was second to none! The eggplant lasagne was also delicious- portions are vastly generous, you will not go hungry! You can borrow their canoe and explore a couple of nearby beaches or just sunbathe on the decking and jump straight onto the sea from the jetty. Loved everything about Asalem. I’d say a minimum of 3 nights would allow you to make the most of it, 4-5 would be better.

Our stay at Asalem exceeded our expectations, from the beginning the visual impact was the best possible - the hostel is even more beautiful than we could assume from the photos, and the view from the rooms and public areas, including the dining area, is wonderful! All the staff are extremely helpful, helpful and pleasant. The breakfast is delicious - highlight the homemade jams, cakes prepared in the inn itself (very well used by the family), very fresh fruits, and for the tapioca kindly prepared on my request (meeting the specific demand motivated by gluten sensitivity). We had dinner at the inn on two occasions, and the food was equally excellent - both the banana fish and the vegetable soup that was needed due to the food excesses committed on the island.

Lovely place! It is a very good idea that the hotel has its own restaurant, since the place is very quiet and the Villa de Abrao noisy, so you enjoy not only the tranquility but the homemade taste of its very good cook. Breakfast is great and both where you have dinner and where you have breakfast could not have better orientation as it is a balcony overlooking the bay. Everyone I dealt with was incredibly nice.

We spent 4 nights at Asalem. We enjoyed our time very much. We stayed at the chalet which was spacious and has amazing views of the bay. The hotel serves the best caipirinhas in town and the food they serve is also very good. It’s a very special place we can highly recommend.
