Casa Cairucu - as featured in Conde Nast US, the Sunday Telegraph (Fiona Duncan) and the Sunday Times (Stanley Stewart) - is a sea front beach house surrounded by forest with incredible views - close to beautiful beaches and the charming historical city of Paraty (nearest airport is Rio de Janeiro - Brazil).

The house has a modern, clean touch and catches the best of the sea views. Perfect for families or groups of friends, honeymooners looking for something special and unusual, water sport lovers, to explore or relax. Paraty is 10 to 30 mins away (depending on boat), and close to the the region’s most beautiful beaches.

There are 3 double (/twin) en suite rooms that face the sea (beds for 8 people total), and a single room with bathroom next door. Two of rooms have a connected door – ideal for families. We also have 2 travel cots and baby monitor.

A fully equipped kitchen, small library of CDs, DVDs and books, a selection of board games, snorkelling equipment, 2 double kayaks and 2 fishing rods. We include daily-maid services from 8 am to 1 pm (cleaning and cooking).

Casa Cairuçu takes its name from its spectacular location. A few steps from the calm, protected waters of Paraty Bay, the house is located inside the Environmental Protection Area (APA) of Cairuçu surrounded by pristine beaches, uninterrupted swathes of rainforest and traditional fishing communities. There are no roads or cars to disturb the views, just forest paths, passing fishing boats and the sounds of the sea.

Other Activities: Kayak, walks, swimming and boat trips. Colonial Paraty - shops, bars and restaurants - and nearby waterfalls.
