The One Thing You Don't Want To Miss

What makes Ilhabela unique is its pristine beaches and untouched rainforest. Many of these beaches are only accessible by boat, so this is your chance to experience their natural beauty firsthand . Curral and Jararaquara beach are some of the most popular and cherished on the island and we offer tours to both. Socialize with the locals on the yellow sand of Curral. Or explore Jabaquara Beach, where, according to popular belief, it's mud contains medicinal healing qualities. Explore Praia dos Castelhanos, a long, wild, stretch of beach, where you'll see the deep blue sea and the mountains rising above the beach, covered in virgin rain forest. Miles away from the more touristy beaches, this is where the locals go to get sand between their toes.
