Island Escapes

Private island travel in Brazil

Island trips with seclusion and privacy.

Brazil is a travel country that Island Escapes plans for couples and families, with a focus on seclusion and privacy. As a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, Island Escapes also organises long transfers to remote islands. The planner starts the island planning, and on a video call you clarify the details.

Overview

The Ilha de Santa Catarina, Floripa for short, stands for a Brazil that surprises with dunes, lagoons and a calm coast. Florianópolis is the only city on this list, yet with over forty beaches the bustle is spread very widely. Surfers and walkers each find their own bay, and the Lagoa da Conceição makes room for sailing boats, stand-up paddlers and evenings by the water. Between May and October it is winter in Brazil, which in this south means mild days, clear air and empty beaches.

For couples this is the time of long hikes on coastal paths and warm meals with a sea view, for families a chance to experience nature without snakes on the beach. Between July and November southern right whales pass along the coast. Portuguese is spoken, English helps only in hotels. You should avoid tap water.

How an island trip in Brazil fits your travel dates is best discussed in a video call with Island Escapes.
