Pousada Literária de Paraty
Paraty, Atlantic Forest
Nestled in the heart of Paraty’s cobblestone historic center, Pousada Literária is a haven for those seeking a blend of culture, comfort, and nature. Housed in beautifully restored colonial mansions arranged around a central garden, the hotel’s architecture reflects Paraty’s rich history while seamlessly integrating modern touches and uplifting decor.

After a day exploring, relax by the pool, rejuvenate in the hotel spa, or unwind in the library—one of the largest in town. Whether you’re in the mood for a dip, a massage, or curling up with a good book, Pousada Literária offers a peaceful retreat.
Ideal for: Historic center, book lovers, nature enthusiasts
- Why we love it
- Highlights
- Positive Impact
Pousada Literária comes with a prime location in Paraty’s historic center – step out to cobbled streets, walk to the pier, and have charming boutiques, galleries, and great little cafes and restaurants on your doorstep.
We love the property’s loft-style suites, separate to the hotel’s main building, that feel like staying at a friend’s beautifully decorated home. Villa Auroura is like your own private house, while Suites Paraty Mirim and Trindade feel like cool cozy apartments.
Villa Mamanguá is the hotel’s best kept secret, ideal for four guests that want a remote experience. Playful blues and yellows bounce through the design of a remote little house, incredibly immersed in a tropical fjord, just a boat ride away. And you’ll still have the luxury of 24/7 support from the Pousada.
