The local currency is the Real (BRL). There are no banks, ATMs, or currency exchange offices on the island. Therefore, it is recommended to bring cash from the mainland. Most establishments, including our pousada, accept major credit and debit cards. In exceptional cases, we may accept US dollars and euros, with the exchange rate determined by the pousada management according to the tourist rate, with an additional charge to cover currency fluctuations.
