Luxury Villa Rentals in Brazil

In Brazil, Tucasa's concierge team arranges private boat charters along the coast — to the beaches and coves reachable only by sea around Trancoso, Búzios, and the islands of the Costa Verde — as well as surf instruction and beach club arrangements. We coordinate private guided experiences of the country's culture, from live music to the culinary traditions of each region, excursions to the Atlantic rainforest and its wildlife, and reservations at the finest restaurants. Private chefs are sourced for each property, working with Brazil's regional cuisines — the African-influenced cooking of Bahia, the seafood of the coast, and the fresh tropical produce for which the country is known. We arrange in-villa spa and wellness treatments, and for guests arriving by private aviation, the international hubs at São Paulo and Rio, and regional airports at Porto Seguro and Cabo Frio, are coordinated before you arrive. All transfers and ground logistics are arranged before you arrive.

Búzios, a peninsula of beaches roughly two hours east of Rio de Janeiro, is one of Brazil's most established chic beach destinations — a town of more than twenty beaches, a lively dining and nightlife scene along its Rua das Pedras, and a character that has drawn visitors since Brigitte Bardot made it famous in the 1960s. Properties around Búzios suit guests who want the combination of beach, sophistication, and proximity to Rio. The coastline around Rio itself — the Costa Verde to the south, with the islands of Angra dos Reis and the colonial town of Paraty — offers a different landscape again, where the Atlantic rainforest meets a coastline of islands and coves. For guests who want to combine a villa stay with the culture and energy of Rio de Janeiro, the southern coast places both within reach.

Trancoso, on the coast of Bahia in Brazil's northeast, has become the country's most sought-after luxury beach destination — a former fishing village whose Quadrado, a grassy square lined with brightly colored fishermen's houses and a whitewashed church above the sea, has drawn an international clientele that prizes its particular combination of bohemian character and genuine luxury. The beaches below the village — long stretches of sand backed by cliffs and rainforest — are among the finest in Brazil. Villas in Brazil around Trancoso range from beachfront estates to properties set among the trees within reach of the Quadrado, offering the barefoot sophistication for which the destination has become known. The wider Bahian coast, warm and sunny for much of the year, offers additional stretches of coastline with the same natural beauty and a quieter pace.
