Eco-friendly Treehouse with Sea View

A proper treehouse, not a cabin on stilts: this one is suspended in the canopy of an old jackfruit tree, built without nails or cement, about 18 km from Paraty's colonial center in the quiet hamlet of Paraty-Mirim. From the deck you look over Atlantic Forest to the sea, with marmosets and a steady parade of birds passing through the branches. It's a couples-only setup — one small double bed, one bathroom — and you share the rest of the property with other guests: a chemical-free natural swimming pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a fully equipped communal kitchen. The beach is a ten-minute walk downhill. At roughly $60–80 a night it's one of the cheapest genuinely memorable stays on the Costa Verde, and 140 reviews at 4.81 say the hosts know what they're doing. Bring a flashlight for the path at night.
