Brazil Beach Holidays


south & central america
Brazil beach holidays promise warm turquoise waters, swaying palms and a wonderfully laidback atmosphere. The most famous beach in Brazil, Copacabana, is instantly recognisable and certainly lives up to the hype. Relax on the golden sands as you sip a caipirinha and soak up Rio’s infectious energy or head to nearby Ipanema for stunning views and a sunset stroll.

If you are looking for a beach escape away from the city, charming Búzios is the perfect Brazilian beach town. Set on a small peninsula and surrounded by gorgeous sandy beaches, there is plenty to keep you occupied in lively Búzios. Wander along its cobbled streets, browse boutique shops and art galleries, or enjoy one of the many bustling cafés or seafood restaurants.

For a more tropical escape, Ilha Grande’s palm-fringed beaches and secluded coves are widely considered among the best in Brazil. While the picturesque beaches in the north of Brazil boast year round sunshine, sweeping sand dunes and crystal clear waters. The beautiful archipelago of Fernando de Noronha is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its rugged coastline and the exceptional snorkelling and diving within its protected marine park.

Trailfinders offers a range of Brazil beach holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Brazil’s beaches on a private tour, as part of a multi centre holiday or are simply looking for advice on the best hotels for a relaxing beach break – they are the perfect people to ask.
