Brazil consistently scores highly in the top ten lists of long-haul travel destinations and a little piece of paradise just off the shores of Rio de Janeiro demonstrates why.
Ilha Grande is situated in the Bay of Ilha Grande, 180 km from Rio with an area of just 193 km.
The tropical climate, mountainous landscape, dense rainforest clad hills, small bays and 106 beaches attract visitors in the know from Brazil and the rest of the world.
Activities available include sailing, forest trekking, sea kayaking, surfing, snorkelling, diving, camping, mountain-biking and line fishing. Accommodation ranges from hotels to pousadas and back-to-nature rainforest inns.
It has also become popular in recent years for celebrities like Ashley Judd and Davina McCall heading off into rainforest yoga retreats and 'bikini boot camps'.
Lotus Journeys offer a week-long adventure spa and fitness experience based on the island all year round.
Ilha Grande can be reached by transfer from Rio's international airport or ferry from Angra dos Reis on the mainland. British Airways, Tap Air Portugal and Air France all fly to Rio de Janeiro.
