Paraty, Villa 20

There should be a separate category to describe our Villa 20, a house on a private and paradise-like beach on the outskirts of Paraty. Something that evokes cinema and those locations we swear aren’t real. In other words, something extraordinary.

This is a grand villa, and we’re not just talking about the 405,000 square meters of land, which starts at the sea and rises into the forest. Nor about the complete and incredibly helpful team, or the amazing collection religious memorabilia that fills each of the spaces with personality.

Here, every detail is meticulously thought out to make the experience truly unforgettable, from a coffee served in a memorable way to the perfectly pressed bed linen in the early moments of the day. The suites are spread across four fully equipped Villas on the property, ensuring complete privacy.

Above all, Villa 20 is an invitation to forget about the outside world and enjoy magical moments with friends or family, whether with your feet in the sand or participating in any of the many leisure activities. And the list is vast: there’s a pool, hot tub, soccer field, massage room, and much more.

The gastronomy is another chapter worth highlighting. The menu is complete and satisfies a wide variety of culinary desires, along with a great kids menu. The experience continues with meals al mare, with amazing lunches served aboard the property’s schooner – which must be rented separately. And for pizza nights, how about a team trained by one of São Paulo’s best pizzaiolos?

Finally, Paraty is about a ten-minute boat ride from this paradise, but we guarantee you won’t want to leave Villa 20, not even for a few seconds. After all, a movie-like setting that becomes reality should be enjoyed to the fullest!
