Accessible only by boat, Villa Bom Jardim is a private house enveloped in the lush Atlantic rainforest of Brazil’s Costa Verde.
This colonial-style beach house has seven suites and generous living and dining areas, set among extensive botanical gardens bursting with over 5,000 jussara palm, lychee and passion fruit trees, just steps from the sand.
It is reached by a 15 minute zip by boat along the coast from Paraty.
