8 best beach hotels in Marau

Beach hotels in Marau are best understood as a base for exploring the Maraú Peninsula: long, sunlit stretches of sand around Barra Grande and quieter coves beyond it, including the acclaimed Praia do Cassange (marautravel.com, tripadvisor.com). The local “hub” is Barra Grande—an established village facing Camamu Bay, known for its beach atmosphere, bars and restaurants (bahia.ws, marautravel.com).

For genuine beach stays, choose hotels that make it easy to get outdoors throughout the day: short walks to the water, good shade/common areas for downtime, and practical access for boat or lagoon trips that start from the peninsula. These “Beach hotels” suit travellers who want a relaxed coastal rhythm—couples seeking sunsets, families preferring a straightforward base, and friends who plan to split time between swimming and exploring nearby lagoons and beaches.

Where to stay comes down to your style. For convenience, pick the Barra Grande zone: it’s ideal for first-timers and anyone who values lively evenings and quick beach access. For a calmer, more nature-forward feel, lean towards the Cassange side of the peninsula, where proximity to Praia do Cassange and Lagoa do Cassange supports a slower pace.

Examples from our inventory include Flow Beach House and multiple guesthouse-style stays such as Mayim Villa and Pousada Barrabella—well matched to the “easy beach base” approach.
