Paraty for Couples: A Romantic Guide for Your Honeymoon
Empty beaches all to yourselves, candlelit dinners in the colonial quarter and sunset on the water. Why Paraty is one of Brazil's most romantic destinations.
Between the sheltered sea and the colonial quarter lit by lanterns, Paraty is made for couples. It trades bustle for quiet and scenery — perfect for a honeymoon or a weekend for two.
A day at sea, just the two of you
A private speedboat is the bay's most romantic outing: you choose the beaches, stop wherever you like and escape the crowds. Ask the skipper for the most secluded coves, like Saco da Velha, for a swim alone.
Dinner in the historic center
At night, the center becomes a film set: the cobblestones, the white façades and the warm light of the restaurants. Pick a caiçara restaurant with sidewalk tables and toast with an aged cachaça from the region.
The sunset
End the day watching the sun set over the bay — from a boat deck, a kiosk on Praia do Pontal or the pier in the center. It's the kind of simple moment that stays with the trip.
