Aldeia Rizoma

Aldeia Rizoma is a hospitality and retreat destination in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, about 20 minutes from Paraty’s historic center. Its distinctive houses, designed by Atelier Marko Brajovic and inspired by Indigenous architecture, combine natural and biofuturistic materials to offer privacy and comfort in the forest. Guests can choose from individually designed stays, including tree-height accommodations, mountain and valley-view homes, and forest retreats.

The experience extends beyond lodging, with private waterfalls and natural pools, marked forest trails, a dry sauna, massages, yoga, temazcal ceremonies, and guided educational and adventure outings. Guests can also arrange meals prepared by a network of local cooks, join wellness retreats, or relax in forest lounges and an open-air gym.

For gatherings, Aldeia Rizoma offers Ayuru, a bamboo-built venue for up to 120 people, suited to retreats, corporate events, immersions, and ceremonies. The brand highlights locally sourced materials and labor, renewable solar energy, agroforestry, water care, natural cleaning products, and support for the local community. It also expresses support for Indigenous causes and LGBTQIA+ inclusion.
