About the pousada
Pousada Paraiso Verde is simply and uniquely beautiful and it must count as one of the most hidden of all the hidden pousadas. The name itself means "green paradise" and it is this which you wake up to every morning in your glass sided, stilted bungalow surrounded by palm trees and luxuriant foliage.
However the Paraiso Verde is a paradise in many other ways as well, starting with the location on a stretch of deserted beach which runs for miles in each direction ; the beautifully thatched, high ceilinged, well appointed bungalows; the attention to design and detail; the beautiful kitchen and lounging area, the incredible seaviews and the extraordinary surreal pop art of New Yorkers Kenny Scharf and Keith Haring everywhere.
This is a place where New York chic meets the rustic charm, colour, design and hospitality of Bahia, and the result owner Tereza Scharf has achieved is an atmosphere of warmth and comfort and relaxed informality amidst spectacular scenery. If you want peace and tranquility and off the beaten track exclusivity, then the Pousada Paraiso Verde offers the best of it all.
About the location
The Pousada Paraiso Verde is situated in 10,000 square metres of land 2 kilometres off the main Ilheus/Itacare road and is equidistant 30 kilometres from both. Right at the moment you will have to ask for directions on exactly where it is as there is no village nearby and the pousada itself has no sign. The only way you know this is the entrace is because there is a rather large sign near the gate which says "Private Property- Keep Out" in portuguese"!
Once here though you are in for a wonderful prize. Leave the car in the carpark and walk through the grounds and walk ways to the comfortable open kitchen/lounging area where Tereza will greet you. In front of you you'll see the sea and to the left the Barra do Sargi where the river meets the sea. And in each direction just miles and miles of sand and palm trees and not a building or building or person in sight. Total hidden tranquility.
