The Property — Brumar Hostel
Brumar Hostel sits a block back from Angra’s main waterfront, in a converted townhouse with painted blue shutters and a small, tiled courtyard. The vibe is student-traveller social: bare-bones dorms and private rooms, a shared kitchen that smells of garlic at 7pm, and a common area where backpackers trade bus timetables. It’s for the cash-conscious soloist or small group who want a bed, not a resort, and don’t mind that the air-con is a single unit in the hall.
Chronicles of Angra dos Reis
Founded as a Portuguese settlement in 1556, Angra dos Reis quickly became a key slave-trade port and, later, a coffee-export hub. Its colonial core retains 18th-century whitewashed churches like the Igreja Matriz do Santíssimo Salvador, built on a 17th-century foundation. The city’s economy shifted to shipbuilding and tourism in the 20th century, and today it’s the jumping-off point for 365 islands, including Ilha Grande. Culturally, it’s carioca lite – casual, beach-oriented, with a strong local seafood and caipirinha scene. Carnival here is rowdy but smaller than Rio’s.
Best Time to Visit
Full Angra dos Reis guide →Best months
April, September, October: autumn and late spring. Rain is less frequent, sea water stays warm at 23–25°C, and crowds are low because holidays and school breaks are over. You’ll find empty beaches on nearby islands.
Peak / festival surge
December to February (southern summer). Christmas, New Year, and Carnival (which could land in February 2026) pack Angra with Brazilian tourists. Hostel dorm beds may cost 1.5–2x the shoulder rate, and ferries to Ilha Grande sell out by 9am. The midnight fireworks over the bay on 31 December are the main draw.
Budget shoulder season
March and November: still good weather (25–28°C, moderate rain), but prices drop by 30–40% after Carnival, and the ferry queues shrink. Sea is swimmable year-round here.
Weather & packing
Angra sits inside a sheltered bay, so it’s humid year-round and prone to sudden tropical downpours even in ‘dry’ months. Pack a quick-dry towel and one long-sleeve cotton shirt for mosquito evenings; flip-flops are non-negotiable.
Live City Briefing — Angra dos Reis
- The ferry terminal renovation from BR-101 to the Cais de Santa Luzia is complete, cutting boarding times by about 15 minutes – but parking near the hostel is still a nightmare; use the municipal lot at Rua do Comércio.
- The new ‘Circuito da Ilha’ speedboat service to Ilha Grande now runs six daily departures from Angra’s main pier, added in early 2025. It’s R$10 cheaper than the old operator, but book online a day ahead in July.
- Seasonal note: July 2026 falls in the dry spell, but expect a 30% chance of afternoon rain every other day. The annual Festa de Nossa Senhora da Conceição (a local street festival) happens 8–15 December only, not in your travel window.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Brumar Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, facing the rear courtyard (away from the street). These floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise but still accessible via stairs if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially near the reception or lift lobby, as they get foot traffic and door noise. Also avoid rooms facing the main street (address: Angra dos Reis, likely a busy coastal road) — early morning scooter and truck noise is common.
Best views
Rooms at the back offer a view of the hillside or neighbouring rooftops — nothing special, but peaceful. Front rooms face the street and possibly a glimpse of the bay if the building is near the waterfront.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors are the quietest, especially rear-facing rooms.
🔊 Noise notes
Angra dos Reis has lively street life: bar music, scooters, and early-morning rubbish collection. The hostel is on a main road so front-facing rooms get traffic noise until late. No lift data means you may hear stairs and corridor chatter on all floors.
Insider tips
1. Ask at check-in for a room on the courtyard side — it’s worth the request for sleep quality. 2. If you’re driving, park on the side street rather than directly out front, as the main road has restricted overnight parking and can be loud.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Angra dos Reis
💡 Go on a weekday morning when it's quiet. Mass is at 7pm on Sundays if you want to hear the choir.
💡 Ask the attendant to show you the back courtyard—there's a working coffee grinder from 1880 they sometimes demonstrate.
💡 Come around 10am when the schooners depart for the islands—great people-watching. Even if you don't take a boat tour, the view over the bay is solid.
💡 Go just before sunset—the light across the bay is golden. Take water; the climb is only 10 minutes but steep. No entrance fee, but the chapel asks for a small donation on Sundays.
💡 Best in late afternoon when the sun dips behind the mountains. Avoid weekends if you want space—locals pack it out.
