Fuga da Ilha Grande
Where to stay
Ilha Grande offers a variety of stays ranging from rustic 'pousadas' converted from traditional fishermen's houses in the village of Abraão to small boutique guesthouses near the harbor. For those preferring direct access to the water, several beach-front campsites operate along the main trails. Expect to pay between R$ 250 and R$ 600 per double room/night, depending on proximity to the pier and the level of amenities.
Things to do nearby
The weekend is defined by the island's natural and historical depth. You can explore the lush Atlantic Forest trails that lead to the ruins of the Lazareto, or rent a kayak to reach secluded coves inaccessible by foot. The local culinary scene revolves around fresh seafood caught by artisanal fishermen, best enjoyed at the harbor front. For history enthusiasts, the trail to the Cândido Mendes ruins offers a somber look at the island's 20th-century history, perfectly contrasting the physical freedom of your swim.
