What makes it special
- The Piúva lookout is on Avenida Brasil, easy to reach and one of the busiest on the island: for the sunset, get there early.
- Next to the lookout there are bus stops, parking, a cycle lane and the Amo Ilhabela sign, a good photo spot (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
- On the stretch between Piúva and Portinho, the city rebuilt more than 1,100 metres of seafront railing in 2021 and maintained the seaside decks (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
- In 2019, the city said the 8 km sewage network running south from Piúva was already finished (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
What to weigh
- In May 2019, a slope on the SP-131 at Piúva gave way: two houses collapsed, eight were condemned and the road was closed in both directions for a week. The retaining work was finished in December 2019 (Prefeitura de Ilhabela).
- The slope still needs watching: in February 2026 there was a new landslide in the lower part of the neighbourhood, with stop-and-go traffic (Prefeitura de Ilhabela), and Civil Defence closed a Piúva bus stop for landslide risk in November 2025 and again in September 2026.
- After the heavy rain of February 2021, Piúva was among the neighbourhoods with limited water, and residents were warned that homes without a water tank could run dry (Prefeitura de Ilhabela). A water tank is worth having.
Who it suits
Arvita’s reading, based on the facts above.
- People who use the ferry or go to the town centre often and want to be a few minutes from both.
- People who like a walk or a bike ride along the sea in the late afternoon.
- Buyers who will check the slope and the lot carefully before closing.
