Hostel Canto Caiçara

Perched on Jabaquara’s calm bay in Paraty, this beachfront, pet-friendly hostel puts you steps from Jabaquara Beach and a short drive to Pontal Beach. The historic center and sights like Defensor Perpétuo Fort Museum and Nossa Senhora das Dores Church are within easy reach, making it a handy base for beach days and colonial wandering.

Set inside a mangrove with a big green area and a sustainable vibe, the property mixes private rooms and large dorms. There are 8 private guestrooms plus dorms that sleep 6–26 people (about 98 beds total), many with private balconies or lanais and sea, mountain or lake views. Expect shared kitchens, individual lockers, hot showers, hammocks and daily housekeeping.

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and lounge in the beachfront bar or hammock garden. Onsite features include a restaurant and coffee shop/café, beach bars, massage services, terrace and garden, library, picnic and barbecue areas, bicycle rental and a tour desk for boat and jeep trips. Free Wi‑Fi, parking and a concierge keep things easy, and pets are welcome.

Practical services include laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage, multilingual staff and a 24-hour front desk. Roundtrip airport shuttle and area shuttles are available for a surcharge.

A beach-side restaurant (open roughly 10:00–22:00) serves a varied menu, plus there’s a coffee shop/café and snack bar/deli. Breakfast is served daily from about 8:00–10:00 with continental and local-cuisine options to kick off your island-style mornings.
