3-star hotels in Itapema
A shortlist of 3-star hotels and pousadas in Itapema, on Santa Catarina's coast, chosen for travellers who want a beach base without paying for a full resort. Every property below has a guest rating of 3.9 or higher, with several above 4.6.
Staying in Itapema
Itapema is a coastal town in Santa Catarina whose life runs along its beaches, with the Meia Praia area in particular named in the addresses of several hotels on this list. The properties here sit in different parts of town: some on numbered streets and named streets within the town itself, among them R. Cento E Vinte E Três A in the Centro, R. 219 in Meia Praia, Rua 321, Rua 270, R. Tintureira, R. Peixe Donzela, R. Amoreira and Rua Tubarão, while Itapema Beach Hotel & Convention lies on Br 101 Km 144 and Hotel Cores do Mar is addressed on Rua Martin Pescador 300 Bombinhas. Most of these hotels are small to mid-sized pousadas, with guest ratings between 3.9 and 5.0, so the choice is less about scale than about which setting and facilities suit you.
