Island Lodge - Ilha Grande, Brazil
This peaceful waterside resort is set into the Atlantic rainforest and is built in a colonial Portuguese village style. It accommodates a maximum of 14 guests. The peaceful and elegant double occupancy rooms reflect a balance between sophisticated simplicity and environmental sensitivity. The decoration is minimalist yet subtle, and creates an atmosphere in harmony with our objectives and energy.

The attractive bedrooms are spacious, with excellent vistas of the sea. The added bonus this season is the presence of a small secluded beach right at the front gate and crystal clear water lapping around the dock. In the evening, you can relax in the hot tub embraced by the luscious rainforest.

Dining
Your lodge stay also includes an exquisite nutritionally balanced vegetarian diet, with fish optional two times a week. A typical day's menu (subject to change by season and availability):

Breakfast: Hearty Soy-Oatmeal with Raisins and Brazil Nuts and Glass of Orange Juice
Lunch:  Vegetarian Sandwich: Tofu, Lettuce, Beet and Carrots on a Whole Wheat Bun
Snack: Fruit Salad
Dinner:  Grilled Tofu, Fresh Shitake Mushrooms and Steamed Broccolis, seasoned with Garlic and Ginger

The Program
Body & Soul Adventures offers you a magical and challenging sequence of daily activities that will help you relax and unwind. Intense rainforest hikes, sea kayaking, yoga and 1,500 calorie days are guaranteed to tone your body and clear your mind. A combination of simplicity, agonizing ecstasy, and friendly congeniality forces you to re-evaluate your life and focus on what really matters. The bonus – you detox and lose weight.

By night, enjoy the mesmerizing Brazilian martial art and dance form (Capoeira), a percussion session, creative dancing, a sing-along or just relax in a hammock. You can also enjoy a swim in the warm sea, snorkeling (bring your own gear) or simply take some time out on a quiet rock. 

The Location
Your Body & Soul Adventure takes place on Ilha Grande, an enchanted paradise island located just 100 miles south of Rio de Janeiro, that is absolutely magical. The island is lined with picturesque tropical beaches bordering lush virgin Atlantic rain forests (approx. 20 square miles). No private cars are allowed on the "big island." Instead, there is a fantastic network of well-maintained trails for exploring this land of intriguing tastes.

The Beaches of Ilha Grande.
Ilha Grande boasts a total of 106 separate beaches of diverse characteristics. The medium water temperatures are between 18ºC - 24ºC. (65ºF - 75º).  As part of our program we trek and kayak to the most beautiful beaches on the island.
