Pousada L'essence  

Set in Paraty’s Pantanal neighborhood, this pousada sits a minute’s drive from the Mini Estrada Real Museum and a short drive to the Historic Center, Paraty Pier and local beaches like Jabaquara. Family-friendly and easy to reach, it’s a calm base for exploring cobbled streets, theaters and nearby waterfalls.

Just 28 individually decorated guestrooms give the place a personal vibe. Rooms feature minibars, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning or ceiling fans, private showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Daily housekeeping and irons/ironing boards are available on request.

Soak in the outdoor pool, unwind in the hot tub or sauna, then grab a drink at the poolside bar. The property also offers a banquet hall, a massage room and access to local diving options for adventurous days. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while you relax.

A 24-hour front desk and safe-deposit box handle practical needs, and free self parking makes arrivals easy. The banquet hall can double as an event space when needed.

Start each day with the complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7:30–10:30. There’s limited room service, plus a bar/lounge and poolside bar for evening drinks. Several cafes and local eateries, including Manuê and Cafe Magico, are a short walk away.
