Brazil offers the perfect escape for honeymooners looking for that ideal blend of relaxation and adventure. Outstanding natural beauty combined with the exhilarating city of Rio de Janeiro makes for an unforgettable trip, and luxury accommodation throughout ensures that it will be incredibly memorable.
Your adventure starts in the bustling and vibrant metropolis of Rio de Janeiro, one of the world’s most exciting cities. There’s so much to do here and countless activities and tours that can be tailored to your interests – so enjoy soaking up its culture, go dancing until the small hours, or simply set up camp at one of the city’s rooftop bars and watch the skyline twinkle, with a caipirinha in hand.
Enjoy a cycling tour along the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon, before taking to the skies with an incredible helicopter ride over Sugar Loaf Mountain.
You’ll then visit the magnificent Iguassu Falls, where 275 falls cascade over almost three kilometres of the Parana River. Here, you’ll have free time on the Brazilian side of the falls before meeting your guide for a private tour on the Argentinean side of this magnificent natural wonder.
Next, you’ll head to the serene rainforest retreat of Ponta dos Ganchos, a simply magnificent five-star beach resort in Florianópolis. Spend your days unwinding on the tropical beaches, dipping in and out of the sparkling sea and revelling in all the comforts that come as part and parcel of a stay at this luxury resort.

Accommodation in Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro
Overview
Located at the best end of Copacabana beach (adjacent to Ipanema) the Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Ipanema is one of the best beachfront hotels on this strip. Rooms are high quality having been recently refurbished in a modern style with the luxury amenities that you expect in a 5 star hotel.
The views from the hotel are stunning and many of the rooms have balconies. The rooftop pool is a great place to unwind and the hotel’s restaurant is one of the very best in the city.

Overview
The Fasano Rio is the most stylish hotel in Rio. Set on Ipanema beach front and designed by Phillipe Starck, this is a stunning property. The Fasano brings an air of understated cool and luxury that has been somewhat lacking in some of the other beach-front hotels in Rio.
The rooms are immaculately decorated with a combination of period pieces, original artwork and chic-modern style. We recommend the Deluxe sea view category or above. Each has a private balcony with views out to sea and king size beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and goose down pillows. For that extra touch of luxury and pampering, there is also butler service.
The facilities include an excellent bar, perhaps the city’s best seafood restaurant and a stunning rooftop infinity pool.

Overview
An iconic hotel for an iconic city, the Copacabana Palace is synonymous with Rio de Janeiro and is very much a destination in itself.
The rooms, facilities and service here are truly first class and you will feel very special lounging in the beautiful pool area, which is one of the most elegant in all the city.
The hotel is a short distance from the more fashionable districts (Copacabana no longer being the top of the pile) and you may find yourself making a short taxi ride to the best restaurants, bars and beaches.
Service at the Copacabana Palace is the best in the city.

Overview
Emiliano Rio enjoys one of the city’s most coveted locations, right on Copacabana Beach. It is contemporary and cool, and embodies everything that is so wonderful about this South American city.
There are 90 suites and apartments, many of which have balconies and beautiful ocean views. Decor is simple and elegant, the light bright colour scheme perfect for enhancing the blue skies and golden sands that surround the hotel.
Emile Restaurant specialises in carioca cuisine, using local, small scale producers to showcase the best of the city. Sip a cocktail at the Emile Bar then head up to the rooftop for light, healthy bites and a dip in the beautiful swimming pool that looks out over Copacabana.
There is an incredible spa located on the 11th floor offering a range of revitalising treatments as well as space to simply uwind and relax.

Overview
Set in the charming old colonial neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, this hotel offers a different approach to the Rio experience away from the high rise beach hotels. The location up on the hill offers a great viewpoint from which to admire the city and an oasis of calm in which to relax.
The hotel has full spa facilities, beautifully decorated rooms, and a great pool area. Formally a colonial farm house, the building has been carefully restored and converted with its history in mind and a light modern touch; using old woods and natural fabric but cut with clean modern lines. Rooms are also equipped with all modern comforts that you would expect in a contemporary luxury hotel.

You'll enjoy some free time to walk along the path to see the spectacular view of Iguassu Falls on the Brazilian side.
Private tour to Iguassu Falls' Argentinean side
A stunning tour of Iguassu, where you get a chance to really get up close to the falls. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and bring you by private vehicle to the entrance of the park on the Argentinian side. You'll then be taking the rest of the tour mainly on foot, exploring the various wooden walkways that lead through the national park to the many chutes of the falls.
One of the most spectacular sights of the falls is the 'Devil's Throat', which sees the largest flow of water. In order to visit the Devil’s Throat, you'll need to board the train at the Main Station or at the Cataratas Station, close to the Upper Circuit. For those who love trekking, there's the 1km (0.6 mile) long Sendero Verde (Green Trail) that connects the Visitors Centre to the Cataratas Station and to the Upper Circuit. Once you're at the Devil’s Throat Station, you'll have to walk on a flat walkway built over the Upper Iguassu River. This walkway crosses several islands and once you get to the end of the walkway, you'll be surprised by a strategic lookout point resting on the side of the gorgeous Devil’s Throat.
