Between Angra dos Reis, Mangaratiba, and Paraty, Costa Verde consolidates a rare combination of preserved nature, exclusive condominiums, a thriving nautical market, and properties that serve as heritage, retreats, and income assets.
In this scenario, Jorge Ventura and Costa Verde Exclusive position themselves as one of the main regional references in sales, high-end rentals, and comprehensive experience curation for celebrities, entrepreneurs, family offices, and foreign investors. Rio de Janeiro's Costa Verde has ceased to be merely a summer destination to become one of the most strategic markets in Brazilian luxury real estate. In a territorial stretch marked by crystal-clear seas, islands, Atlantic Forest, gated communities, marinas, helipads, and privileged access between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the region now gathers the most sought-after attributes by affluent buyers: privacy, security, scarcity, selective liquidity, nautical lifestyle, and rental income potential through seasonal leases.
This transformation is no accident. A report by O Globo revealed that properties in Angra dos Reis reached prices up to BRL 100 million and that interest from entrepreneurs from São Paulo's interior and the Central-West region fueled the rise in luxury properties. According to a Secovi-Rio survey cited by the publication, the square meter price of apartments in Angra increased by 19.9% between August 2021 and August 2023, while houses recorded a rise of 9% over the same period.[1] In some specific locations, industry professionals reported even higher appreciations, linked to the scarcity of quality assets, renovations of older properties, and growing demand for high-standard leisure residences.[1]
> “Before the pandemic, there were many options for sale across many condominiums. Since then, prices have appreciated significantly. Some properties appreciated by 80% in the last three years.” — Arthur Vinicius, broker at Costa Verde Exclusive, quoted by O Globo commenting on luxury property appreciation in Angra dos Reis.[1]
Costa Verde as a heritage asset
For entrepreneurs, high-income families, family offices, and foreign investors, Costa Verde offers an investment thesis difficult to replicate. Unlike more verticalized urban markets, the region's coastal luxury is limited by natural and environmental barriers. The Atlantic Forest's presence, geography segmented by islands and coves, scarcity of beachfront land, and concentration of premium condominiums cause the best-positioned properties to behave like rare assets. In this context, the beach house ceases to be merely a usable good. It becomes a family heritage, a store of value, an income asset, and a symbol of access to a highly desired lifestyle. Seasonal rentals, especially in mansions with private resort structure, staff, marina, helipad, gourmet area, pool, beach, or deck, create an additional income layer for owners who do not use the property year-round.
| Appreciation Driver | Impact on the Luxury Market |
|---|---|
| Territorial Scarcity | Beachfront properties in established condominiums become rare and hard-to-replace assets. |
| Qualified Demand | Entrepreneurs, celebrities, traditional families, and foreigners seek privacy, security, and exclusive experiences. |
| Premium Infrastructure | Marinas, helipads, clubs, golf courses, restaurants, and services elevate property average price. |
| Seasonal Rental Income | Well-managed mansions can generate revenue with high-end rentals during holidays, vacations, and peak seasons. |
| Nautical Lifestyle | Navigation between islands, beaches, and marinas enhances perceived value of waterfront homes and vessels. |
Portobello, Frade, Reserva das Aroeiras, and Laranjeiras: addresses that sustain high luxury
The appreciation of Costa Verde is not explained solely by natural beauty. It is driven by condominiums that have developed private infrastructure capable of meeting a clientele demanding comfort, discretion, and flawless logistics. Among the most prominent addresses are Portobello Resort & Safari in Mangaratiba; Frade in Angra dos Reis; Reserva das Aroeiras, also in Angra; and Laranjeiras in Paraty.
Portobello Resort & Safari became one of the region's most media-famous names by bringing together mansions, resort, private beach, safari, helipads, an airstrip, and marinas. A Gshow article described the condominium as the address chosen by Neymar and Virginia in Mangaratiba, highlighting lots that can reach 20,000 m², homes listed between BRL 7 million and BRL 25 million, two marinas, and infrastructure for arrival by helicopter, plane, or boat.[2] Another report from Terra stated homes in Portobello range from BRL 5 million to BRL 60 million depending on location, construction standard, and sea or canal views.[3]
Frade, in turn, represents the classic combination of sophistication, hospitality, marina, and sporting life. FRAD.E is presented as a complex in Angra dos Reis with premium infrastructure, marina, golf course, luxury hotel, spa, shopping center, restaurants, private club, beach, and residences nestled between the sea and the Atlantic Forest.[4] Meanwhile, Reserva das Aroeiras stands out for its nautical vocation. Located on an exclusive peninsula in Angra dos Reis, it is described in high-end listings as a condominium surrounded by the sea, the Bracuí River estuary, and the Bracuhy Marina channel, with helipad, security, sophistication, and lots with docking capacity for vessels up to 80 feet right at the doorstep.[5]
In Paraty, the Laranjeiras Condominium consolidates a different type of exclusivity: low density, preserved nature, and self-sufficient infrastructure. Public sources describe the condominium as covering 1,131 hectares with about 95% preserved Atlantic Forest, a private marina with 100,000 m² of navigable area, helipad, golf course, club, restaurants, medical center, 24/7 security, underground wiring, and four controlled access beaches.
| Condominium | Location | Key High-Luxury Attributes |
|---|---|---|
| Portobello Resort & Safari | Mangaratiba | Mansions, resort, private beach, safari, marinas, helipads, airstrip, and strong celebrity presence. |
| Frade | Angra dos Reis | Marina, golf course, luxury hotel, spa, restaurants, private club, and residences integrated with nature. |
| Reserva das Aroeiras | Angra dos Reis | Exclusive peninsula, nautical vocation, helipad, security, and lots aimed at large vessels. |
| Laranjeiras | Paraty | Low density, preserved Atlantic Forest, controlled beaches, marina, helipad, golf, and self-sufficient infrastructure. |
Celebrities, trust, and the reputational effect
The presence of public figures in Costa Verde has broadened the region's national visibility. Gshow reported that Mangaratiba became a highly sought-after destination by celebrities, citing Neymar and Virginia as mansion owners in Portobello.[2] The coverage also mentioned other notable names linked to the region such as Gabriel Jesus, Thiago Silva, Adriana Esteves, Dennis, and Regina Casé.[8] CNN Brazil, covering Emerson Sheik’s mansion in Mangaratiba, described a 12,000 m² property with helipad, private pier, party areas, soccer field, footvolley court, tennis court, and pool, emphasizing the scale of properties that form this universe.[9]
It is in this environment that Costa Verde Exclusive, led by Jorge Ventura, built practical authority. The company reports involvement in service and negotiations with names like Virginia, Emerson Sheik, and Neymar, besides managing high-end rentals and experiences for celebrities and highly visible clients. Among the most emblematic cases, the brand was responsible for brokering the sale of Emerson Sheik’s former mansion to Virginia, in a BRL 33 million transaction at Portobello Resort & Safari. With this sale, the company holds the record for two of the three most expensive homes sold within the condominium, Virginia’s being the highest-priced, and in third place, the sale of a BRL 25 million mansion to the couple Igor and Sthefany Brito.
More than a headline-making sale, this type of operation reveals a fundamental intangible asset in the luxury market: trust. Clients in this segment do not seek only size, view, or finishings. They look for discretion, legal security, curation, access to the best properties, image protection, and flawless execution before, during, and after the transaction.
Seasonal profitability: when the mansion becomes an experiential operation
The growth of high-end rentals has transformed how owners view properties in Costa Verde. Instead of remaining vacant for long periods, mansions in strategic condominiums can operate as seasonal assets for families, corporate groups, celebrities, and clients seeking a private experience with hotel-level standards.
The difference lies in operation. A luxury home becomes highly desirable for seasonal rentals only when it offers more than accommodation. It must provide reception, linens, staff, gastronomy, transportation, security, nautical itineraries, 24-hour support, and quick solutions for personalized demands. This is precisely where Costa Verde Exclusive’s curation excels: the company presents the stay as a complete experience, combining property, services, and access to the region’s lifestyle.
Costa Verde’s tourism demand also shows favorable indicators. A Sebrae Rio survey, in partnership with local municipalities, found high recommendation rates among visitors: 99% in Angra dos Reis, 98% in Mangaratiba, and 97% in Paraty stated they would recommend the destinations to friends and family.[10] This level of satisfaction strengthens the thesis of recurrence, referral, and growth in qualified tourism, especially when connected to high-standard properties and premium services.
| Curation Service | Client Perceived Value |
|---|---|
| Mansion Rentals | Privacy, comfort, exclusivity, and leisure structure for families, celebrities, and corporate groups. |
| Boat and Vessel Rentals | Access to islands, beaches, and nautical experiences that define the Costa Verde lifestyle. |
| Helicopter and Executive Transport | Safe, fast, and discreet logistics for high-profile or tightly scheduled clients. |
| Jet Ski and Water Experiences | Premium entertainment and sports experience integrated with the sea. |
| Personalized Rotations | Customized culinary experiences such as sushi, pizza, gourmet barbecue, and private events. |
| Chefs and Premium Home Cooking | Elevated heartfelt comfort, combining sophistication and a home feel. |
| Staff and 24-Hour Support | Professional operation throughout the stay, reducing risks and enhancing satisfaction. |
Costa Verde Náutica: the vessel arm in one of the country’s most relevant nautical regions
No analysis about Costa Verde’s appreciation is complete without considering the nautical market. Angra dos Reis, Mangaratiba, and Paraty are not just beach destinations; they are navigation territories. The relationship between mansions, marinas, speedboats, yachts, and islands forms one of the foundations of perceived luxury value in the region.
Research data released by Bombarco, based on surveys by Acobar, Sebrae/RJ, and partners, indicated that Rio de Janeiro concentrated 25% of Brazil’s fleet of vessels over 16 feet, in addition to 24.2% of nautical support infrastructure and nearly 35% of the sector’s direct jobs nationwide. Costa Verde was cited as one of three nautical regions with distinctive attractions in the state, alongside the Metropolitan and Lakes Regions.[11]
In this context, Costa Verde Náutica, the specialized branch of Costa Verde Exclusive focused on vessels, expands the brand’s ability to serve clients comprehensively. For those who buy, rent, or invest in mansions here, the boat is not a secondary accessory; it is often central to the experience. The vessel defines access to secluded beaches, islands, restaurants, diving spots, private tours, and transfers between condominiums, marinas, and leisure points.
The synergy between real estate and nautical sectors creates a relevant competitive advantage. While many companies operate only in house sales or rentals, Costa Verde Exclusive presents itself as a platform providing comprehensive access to the territory: properties, seasonal rentals, vessels, helicopters, jet skis, executive transport, gastronomy, staff, and personalized experiences.
Jorge Ventura and Costa Verde Exclusive’s authority
The luxury market demands local presence, relationship-building, agility, and expertise. Buyers or renters of mansions in Costa Verde want to know which condominium fits their profile, which property has liquidity, which home offers real privacy, what services work during peak season, what marina accommodates their vessel, and which infrastructure can attend guests comfortably and discreetly.
The authority of Jorge Ventura and Costa Verde Exclusive stems precisely from this practical experience. The brand intermediates sales, seasonal rentals, and premium experiences in some of the region’s most desired addresses. Its differential lies in understanding Costa Verde not just as a real estate map but as an ecosystem of heritage, leisure, reputation, and profitability.
This positioning strengthens further when connected to the client profile served. Celebrities, entrepreneurs, and high-income families are not attracted only by the landscape; they seek an operation capable of turning the region into a secure, seamless, and memorable experience. In this regard, Costa Verde Exclusive’s curation helps boost Costa Verde’s perceived value by presenting the destination with international standards of service and execution.
> Costa Verde is not just a place to buy a home. It is a territory to build heritage, live rare experiences, and access a lifestyle blending nature, privacy, nautical activities, and high luxury.
A market for entrepreneurs, family offices, and foreigners
For entrepreneurs and family offices, Costa Verde offers an investment logic with three layers. The first is heritage preservation, supported by scarcity and qualified demand. The second is family and institutional use, with properties serving as retreats, meeting venues, vacation homes, guest reception, and relationship hubs. The third is seasonal income, enabled when the property is incorporated into a professional rental and experience operation.
For foreigners, the region combines attributes aligned with international luxury markets: preserved nature, marinas, islands, privacy, air access, gastronomy, on-demand services, and proximity to major cities. The formalization of public initiatives to strengthen the Costa Verde brand also reinforces this trend. In 2025, Angra dos Reis, Paraty, Mangaratiba, and Rio Claro formalized the Costa Verde Intermunicipal Tourism Consortium to consolidate the region as a strong brand nationally and internationally, attract investments, and extend tourist stays.[12]
Conclusion: high luxury found its natural territory
Rio’s Costa Verde is experiencing a unique moment. Real estate appreciation is supported by scarcity, natural beauty, private infrastructure, celebrity presence, nautical market, and growing demand for exclusive experiences. At the same time, professionalized seasonal rentals turn high-end properties into assets that generate income, relationships, and reputational gains.
In this context, Jorge Ventura, Costa Verde Exclusive, and Costa Verde Náutica hold a strategic position. The brand not only follows the region’s growth but actively participates in its consolidation as a luxury destination, connecting properties, clients, vessels, services, and experiences. In a market where trust and access are as valuable as location, curation becomes the real competitive edge.
