Sunset over Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro

Signature Journey

Beaches & Islands

Brazil's coast, slowed right down

Brazil has more than 7,000 kilometres of Atlantic coast, and the art is knowing which beach, on which day. Our coastal journeys move with the light and the swell, a surf beach in the morning, a calm lagoon by afternoon, fresh seafood as the sun goes down.

Base yourself on our home island of Florianópolis, fall into the carioca rhythm of Rio's sands, or slip across to the colonial Costa Verde and the green islands offshore. Wherever you start, the pace stays yours.
