Ilha Grande
Just a 30-minute boat trip from the coastal town of Angra dos Reis to the south of Rio, Ilha Grande is a paradisiacal retreat with soft sandy shores, crystal blue waters, and luscious vegetation. It is home to Lopes Mendes, a palm tree-lined beach renowned for its white sands and crystalline sea, a perfect spot for a romantic retreat. In the evening, beachside bars are the hangout spot, complete with lantern-lit tables scattered on the shores plus the sounds of crickets, birds and the ocean breeze in the background. Stay at Pousada Vila Pedra Mar, a boutique hotel on the island with honeymoon suites defined by four-poster beds and sea-view balconies.
