The beaches in Brazil range from the famous and crowded like Rio’s Ipanema, to the beaches in mid-sized towns where city dwellers flock for the holidays. However, none are like the pristine beaches in Caraiva, a remote village on the Bahia coastline. Caraiva is so remote that it typically takes several methods of transportation to get there, and the town did not even have electricity until the early 21st century. However, today Caraiva has joined the modern era with electricity, internet, and a blossoming tourist industry. There are many vacation rentals to choose from in this quiet village which has the comforts of accommodations in larger cities but without the crowds of more mainstream destinations. If you want to visit before the crowds get wind of its beauty, check out these 10 Airbnb vacation rentals in Caraiva.

Caraíva, Bahia, Brazil
Your own private paradise
Caraiva’s pristine beauty makes it hard to believe it has remained undiscovered for this long. The beaches are beautiful by nature, but all the more idyllic without the crowds and garbage found in bigger cities. The village is not so rustic that it’s inconvenient for visitors, but rather, its remoteness helps you to get in touch with the beautiful nature around it. There is a slow and easy way of life in Caraiva that is left over from its years of being off the grid. When you’re here, you’ll find that the conveniences of everyday life that you thought you couldn’t live without are actually not what’s most important, and you’ll get in touch with yourself once again.
