Best Stays with a Pool in Vila Velha

Flat Pasárgada Encantador 616 works well for families in Vila Velha who want to be near the sand. The one-bedroom unit has a separate living room, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, free WiFi and a terrace, and Costa Beach is just steps away. The building has a pool and a sauna, and free private parking is on site. An excellent 9.8 rating from 34 reviews suggests it is well looked after.

A kids' pool alongside the rooftop pool is the detail that makes me recommend Incrível Flat 106 Passargada to families in Vila Velha. Praia da Costa is right outside, so the day can move between sand and pool without a car. Family rooms keep everyone together, and the kitchenette handles breakfasts and simple meals. Parents can enjoy the sauna in turns, and the terrace gives a place to watch the sea in the evening.

Vale do Lago is a country-style stay in Vila Velha that suits families who want space outdoors. The air-conditioned rooms have a balcony, a private bathroom, a kitchenette and a dining area. Children can use the year-round outdoor pool, the garden and the picnic area, and the outdoor fireplace makes evenings pleasant. A continental breakfast is served and there is a restaurant on site. Guests rate it 9.6 from 23 reviews.

A fully equipped kitchen and direct access to Praia da Costa are why I would book Presidential Suite na orla da Praia da Costa for a family stay in Vila Velha. The apartments are family-friendly, with sea views and a balcony or terrace, and air conditioning keeps nights comfortable. The year-round outdoor pool is a good fallback when the sea is rough. The property presents itself as suited to extended stays, which fits a week or more.

Praia Studios suits families who prefer to cook for themselves in Vila Velha. Each apartment-style family room has a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, a private bathroom and free WiFi. Outside there is a year-round outdoor pool, a sun terrace, a private beach area, a picnic spot and barbecue facilities, and a minimarket on site saves a trip for basics. The 9.0 score rests on three reviews only.

Hospedagem Sol e Mar is a relaxed beachfront guesthouse in Vila Velha, close to Bananal Beach. Families get direct access to the sea, a year-round outdoor pool and a garden for children to play in. The air-conditioned rooms have a private bathroom and a TV, free WiFi is included, and there is free private parking on site. Pets are welcome too. Guests rate it 8.7 from 25 reviews, a good sign for a simple stay.

I recommend Champagnat Praia Hotel to families planning a beach stay in Vila Velha, with Costa Beach just 200 metres away. The rooftop pool looks over the beach, a good spot for the hours when the sun is too strong on the sand, and some rooms have balconies with views of the Convento da Penha. Breakfast is served daily, there is a spa area, WiFi is free and pets are welcome. Guests rate it 8.5 from nearly 1,000 reviews.

I recommend Quality Suites Vila Velha to families who want to stay right on Costa Beach. The suites have balconies, minibars and work desks, and some add a microwave, handy for simple meals with children. On site there is a rooftop pool, a playground, a sauna and a fitness centre, so a day can move easily between the sand and the hotel. Guests rate it 8.4 from more than 1,400 reviews, and the beachfront position is the clear highlight.

A kids' pool beside the year-round outdoor pool and a garden to play in are why I would book Pousada Ponta de Areia for a family. Ponta da Fruta beach is just steps away, so the day can swing between sand and pool without a car. Rooms have air conditioning and balconies, and the daily buffet breakfast with local specialties is a gentle start. The on-site restaurant and pool bar keep evenings simple for tired children and parents.

Itaparica Praia Hotel sits just steps from Itaparica Beach in Vila Velha, so families can walk to the sand without packing the car. A rooftop pool offers a second place to swim, and rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and balconies. Family rooms are available, free on-site parking is included, and WiFi is free. Its 7.8 rating from 546 reviews describes a straightforward beach hotel rather than a polished resort.

Hotel Plaza Mar is a three-star hotel facing the ocean on Itaparica Beach in Vila Velha, across the bay from Vitória. Families can switch between the sand and the outdoor pool, and the apartment-style accommodation gives children more room than a standard double. Rooms are air-conditioned with cable TV and a minibar, internet is free, and a breakfast buffet is served daily. Restaurants and beach bars are close by. It holds 7.6 from 391 reviews.
