La proprietà — Hostel TIPO
Hostel TIPO is a social, design-led hostel near Ubatuba’s bus station, mixing exposed brick, local art and a small pool with a bar that spills onto the pavement. It’s less a quiet retreat and more a launchpad for hitting the nearby beaches and surfing spots. The lobby feels like a clean, airy hangout with backpackers on sofas planning their next trail run or caipirinha. Best for solo travellers or couples who want good value, reliable Wi-Fi and a young, active crowd.
Cronache di Ubatuba
Ubatuba was founded in 1637 as a colonial fishing village on the northern coast of São Paulo state, later becoming a hub for cachaça production and coffee export. By the 1970s, the BR-101 highway linked it to São Paulo city, triggering a tourism boom that turned it into a surf and weekend getaway destination. Its architecture is a mix of Portuguese colonial churches—like the 18th-century Matriz—and modern holiday condos, with much of the coast protected by state parks. Today, Ubatuba balances laid-back beach life with growing eco-tourism, drawing visitors to its 100-plus beaches and Atlantic Rainforest trails.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Ubatuba →I migliori mesi
May to July offer dry, sunny days and cooler temperatures (18–25°C), with calm seas for swimming and smaller crowds than the December–February rush.
Peak / Festival Surge
December to February is peak season, driven by the Brazilian summer holidays, Carnaval, and New Year’s Eve celebrations on the beaches. Hotel prices double or triple, and Hostel TIPO often sells out weeks ahead. The main event is Réveillon in Ubatuba’s Praia do Centro, with fireworks and live music.
Stagione di spalla
March and November are the budget shoulder months: weather is still warm but rain increases, and hostel rates drop 30–40%. Crowds thin out, and you’ll have beaches like Praia do Félix nearly to yourself on weekdays.
Meteo e imballaggio
Ubatuba’s microclimate means sudden tropical rain even in dry months, so pack a waterproof jacket and sandals that won’t disintegrate. Strict rule: bring reef-safe sunscreen, as the area’s marine reserves ban chemical sunscreens.
Briefing della città — Ubatuba
- The new Ubatuba Aquarium opened in late 2025 on Avenida Iperoig, featuring local marine life and a touch tank for kids—great for a rainy day.
- Roadworks on BR-101 near the Rodoviária are ongoing until September 2026, causing 15–30 minute delays on the stretch between Ubatuba and Caraguatatuba; plan extra travel time to the airport.
- From July 2026, the city council is trialling a paid parking system along Praia Grande and Praia do Itaguá during weekends to reduce traffic; download the ‘Ubatuba Estaciona’ app before driving.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hostel TIPO, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the rear (away from Rua Mar Mediterraneo). These floors catch the sea breeze and avoid street-level bustle, yet are low enough to climb if the lift is busy.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of ground-floor rooms – they suffer direct street noise from Rua Mar Mediterraneo, which carries traffic and bar chatter. Also avoid any room near the lift shaft, as the 3-star lift can be rattly.
Best views
Rooms on the third floor, rear side, may offer glimpses of Ubatuba's hills or a cheeky sliver of sea over rooftops – not a guaranteed ocean view, but the best you’ll get from a street-facing hostel.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3. The hostel has a low-rise building (likely 3 floors given 3-star), and the upper third floor is furthest from the street and common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Rua Mar Mediterraneo is a busy connector in Ubatuba, so expect morning truck traffic and evening scooter pass. The hostel’s street number (184) places it mid-block, where noise is constant but not extreme. On weekends, local bars can add shouting and music until midnight.
Insider tips
Ask for a rear-facing room when you book – the hostel knows the value of a quiet spot. If parking is tight (Ubatuba can be packed), arrive by late afternoon to snag a space on the street without circling for 20 minutes.
- 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

Principali attrazioni a Ubatuba
💡 Check if there is a temporary exhibition on the ground floor; the upstairs is mostly empty but offers a good view of the street.
💡 Take the 9am boat from Praia do Saco da Ribeira. Bring your own snorkel and lunch – the island kiosk is expensive and limited.
💡 Arrive before 9am to secure shade under the cliffside vegetation. The rip currents are dangerous for weak swimmers.
💡 Bring water shoes – the rocks are slippery and uneven. Go on a weekday to avoid crowds from tour vans.
💡 Visit at feeding time (11am and 3pm) to see the nurse sharks active. Skip the overpriced souvenir shop.
