7 best hotels with a pool in Paraty

Hotels with a pool in Paraty are ideal for travellers who want the town’s classic colonial character, paired with a proper place to cool off between beach days. For many visitors, the best base is Centro Histórico, the UNESCO-listed historic centre of Paraty with its protected colonial street grid and landmark churches. Staying here suits couples and culture-focused guests who want to be close to galleries and restaurants, while still having an on-site pool to relax after exploring the cobbled lanes.

If you prefer easier access to water activities and a more beach-led rhythm, look towards the coastline around Jabaquara Beach—a quieter sandy option just outside the historic core. A pool hotel in this side of town suits families and active travellers who plan kayaking, snorkelling, or simply longer stretches by the sea, then return for shade, showers, and downtime.

A “genuinely” pool-focused stay in Paraty generally means a hotel (or pousada) with a dedicated outdoor swimming pool for swimming and sun time—not just a small plunge feature—plus common-sense comforts like shaded areas, towels, and a layout that keeps the pool experience calm. In our inventory, options such as Eliconial Paraty Pousada, Sandi Hotel, and Planeta Banana B&B are a strong fit for travellers wanting poolside downtime alongside excellent guest feedback.
