The best area to stay in Brava is Vila Nova Sintra, the island's capital.


Vila Nova Sintra is located in a valley, offering a pleasant climate and a more developed infrastructure compared to other parts of the island. The town is characterised by its colourful houses, cobbled streets, and a central square, Praça Eugénio Tavares, which is a focal point for local life. You'll find a few small shops, restaurants, and guesthouses here.


For travellers seeking a tranquil escape and a base for exploring the island's natural beauty, Vila Nova Sintra is ideal. Its elevation means cooler temperatures, superb for enjoying walks through the surrounding hillsides and discovering hidden viewpoints.

The best time to visit Brava is during the dry season, which runs from November to June, offering consistently pleasant weather for exploring the island.


During these months, you'll experience warm temperatures, generally ranging from 24°C to 29°C, with minimal rainfall. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking the island's many trails, exploring its volcanic landscapes, or simply relaxing by the coast. The drier conditions also ensure clearer skies, great for enjoying the island's natural beauty.


For those planning a hiking-focused trip, the period from March to May is particularly good. The weather is warm but not excessively hot, and the landscape is often greener following the brief rainy season, making for more scenic treks across the island's hills and valleys.
