Private dream island off the coast of São Paulo – exclusive retreat between Ubatuba and Paraty
Your own island, no neighbours in sight, arriving by boat or helicopter – and the rest of the world simply stays on the mainland.
Location: Litoral Norte of São Paulo – between rainforest mountains and the Atlantic
This exceptional island is located about 3–4 kilometres off the coast in the highly sought-after Litoral Norte of the state of São Paulo, off Ubatuba and in the direction of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
From the mainland you can reach the island in about 10–20 minutes depending on the type of boat and weather conditions. The coastline here is famous for its dramatic scenery: a green mountain range, dense Atlantic rainforest and countless beaches and coves in between.
A special feature: you can often see how rain clouds build up over the mountains on the mainland – while it remains friendly and dry on the island. You enjoy the spectacular coastal views without standing right in the rain.
The island: compact, private – yet with plenty of space
The island comprises around 64,000 m² – large enough to take a leisurely walk “all the way around”, but compact enough to feel intimate and manageable.
-
natural rock formations all around the shoreline
-
two small, sheltered bays, one of them like a natural paddling pool
-
a higher point (“peak”) with fantastic panoramic views over the sea and the coastline
-
dense, pristine vegetation with tropical plants
Important for many buyers: according to the owner there are no monkeys, snakes or scorpions on the island. Instead you hear the sound of the ocean, birdsong and the scent of the vegetation – a very calm and pleasant nature experience.
The main house: suites with sea view and a generous master suite
At the heart of the development is the master house, whose structure is about 20 years old but was comprehensively renovated over the last 12 months.
Here you will find several comfortable suites in a uniform style:
-
several guest suites, each with
-
air conditioning
-
private bathroom (hot water via modern gas heaters)
-
direct access to the surrounding veranda or deck
-
-
a large master suite with almost 180° sea view, spacious bathroom with bathtub, large shower, double washbasins and ample storage
All suites have been freshly renovated:
new bathrooms, new mattresses, new air conditioning units – essentially in “like new” condition.
The surrounding veranda/deck is one of the highlights: everywhere you find spots where you can sit with a drink in hand and simply look out over the Atlantic – from sunrise to sunset.
Pool, wellness & additional buildings
Around the main house a coherent ensemble for relaxation and guests has been created:
-
organically shaped pool with infinity edge
-
below it a smaller, lower children’s or relax pool into which the water gently cascades
-
sauna area (steam sauna) with a small fitness section
-
additional rooms/structures which could be converted into more guest rooms or SPA facilities
-
a separate house for the caretaker with several rooms – strategically positioned with a clear view of the pier
There are also areas on the island that are suitable for beach volleyball, yoga decks, event spaces or further development. A former small beach section can be reopened or redesigned with manageable effort.
Self-sufficient infrastructure: water, power & security
A private island stands or falls with its infrastructure – and here, a lot has already been invested:
-
power supply via a diesel generator with battery backup, so the supply continues even if the generator is briefly shut down
-
clear recommendation (and easy to implement in planning terms) to expand the system with solar panels – both for electricity and hot water
-
own water supply with treatment in several stages
-
several water tanks of around 40,000 litres each, ensuring sufficient reserves even with higher consumption
-
in an absolute emergency, water can additionally be delivered by ship
Regarding security:
-
permanent on-site caretaker, armed
-
camera system
-
secluded location – it is practically impossible to just “drop by spontaneously”
This makes the island suitable both for private owners who value discretion and for exclusive guests expecting maximum peace and security.
Arrival: boat dock & helipad
The island offers two key arrival points:
-
Boat dock / pier
-
solid wooden jetty
-
according to the owner, boats of up to approx. 38 metres in length have already docked here without any problems
-
right by the pier:
-
covered lounge area
-
barbecue facilities
-
small building with two bathrooms/WCs
-
-
-
Helicopter landing pad
-
officially registered heliport
-
built as a solid concrete platform
-
even a larger Augusta helicopter has already landed here without any issues
-
This means the island is easily accessible from the mainland, from larger yachts or by helicopter – an important point especially for international or particularly high-profile guests.
Nature & lifestyle on your own island
Once you arrive, you quickly realise: this island is not just a property, it is a way of life.
-
The constant sound of the ocean on the rocky shores.
-
The contrast between crystal-clear water in the sheltered bay and the open Atlantic side.
-
The silence at the highest point of the island – only birds and wind in the trees.
-
The view towards Angra dos Reis on one side and Paraty on the other – two of Brazil’s most beautiful coastal regions.
Whether you sit on the deck in front of the master suite, relax by the pool, take a boat tour along the coast or swim in the natural “paddling pool” of the small bay – this setting is hard to beat.
Possible uses: private hideaway or boutique resort
The island is currently offered both for sale and for rent.
This opens up several scenarios:
-
Private family retreat / second or third home
For individuals who dream of a hideaway where they can truly be among themselves – with no neighbours, no noise, but all modern comforts. -
Exclusive boutique resort / luxury lodge
Thanks to the existing suites, heliport and infrastructure, the island is perfectly suited for a small, high-end resort, for example with-
a maximum of 15–20 suites
-
a focus on privacy, fine dining and wellness
-
an international clientele arriving by helicopter or yacht.
-
-
Corporate retreat & event location
Ideal for companies looking to host discreet offsites, strategy meetings or incentive trips at the highest level.
Whichever option you choose: the combination of location, existing buildings, infrastructure and extension potential in this form is extremely rare.
