About the History and Development of the Toca do Mar Pousada:

Usually we do provide historical information about a property only at specific request of interested clients. In the case of the Toca do Mar its development history, however, is quite outstanding and represents an intrinsic part of the attractiveness of this marvelous jewel of the Ilha Grande.

It was purchased in December of 2015, then named Cantao do Leao. Back at the time with horrible reviews, worse infrastructure. No online presence. The current owner, from California/US, performed a complete remodel and rebranding of the guesthouse. Google analytics: over 8,600 Toca do Mar searches for the month of July 2020.

Incentive / Acclimation

The American owner is considering to stay on for 6 months to acclimate new owner to the business.
Stability in management: The current managers Bruna and Flavio have been employed and done an excellent work in contribution to the growth and administration of this business.

Business Growth Potential of the Pousada:

Weddings and Events deck: it has long been a plan to build an events deck in front of the standard suites. This would involve building up the walls of the service level below and running a concrete deck over the top. Doing so would allow Toca do Mar to host weddings and group events. Huge potential revenue.
Boat tourism: The owner´s relation to their managers grew from our use of their tourism service and private hiring for material goods acquisition to run their business. Purchasing a boat, developing island and more local tours as well as being able to package to and from island transfers into pricing to increase revenue.
- Sunset tours: The sunset behind the mountains of Ilha Grande is spectacular. Local fishing is also great. Package a short, local boat tour for minimal fuel expense, catch fresh fish, return to the pousada to BBQ fish over coals, rice, beans, salad dinner for R$50 per person. Sell drinks on the boat while touring. Projected operating cost R$10 per person. Boat capacity 12.
Food, Beverage and Merchandise: The owners operated the day to day business for the first two and a half years while welcoming their new born daughter and raising their then 4 year old son. Serving dinner and drinks was never a desire, though guests would consistently ask if it was served at the guesthouse. There is a clear demand for food and drinks.
Dock reception / dining area: There is a small, 3 meter x 7 meter covered area near the dock that could be developed into additional dining, reception or bar seating.

The Resort/Pousada was presented at a real estate exposition in Berlin (Chamber of Commerce) during an exclusive event.
