Hotels in Paraty

With its cobblestone streets and whitewashed colonial buildings, Paraty is a beautifully preserved Portuguese port town set between the mountains and the sea. The historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is closed to cars, making it perfect for wandering past churches like Nossa Senhora dos Remédios and exploring art galleries. The main draw, however, is the access to the Costa Verde, where you can take schooner trips to over 65 islands and secluded beaches like Praia do Sono or hike through the Atlantic rainforest to remote waterfalls.

For the full experience, stay within the pedestrianized Centro Histórico to be steps from restaurants and bars. The area is ideal for couples and solo travelers seeking culture and easy access to boat tours. Families might prefer the quieter streets just outside the core or hotels along the Praia do Pontal beachfront. The city is best reached by bus from Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo, and while having a car is useful for exploring inland, you won't need one in town.

The selection is dominated by charming, mid-range boutique guesthouses in historic buildings and a good number of budget-friendly hostels popular with backpackers.
