Brazil

Best Resorts in Brazil

South America's largest country delivers carnivalesque fun, the Amazon rainforest and a kingdom of pristine beaches. Our best resorts here are no cookie-cutter: from a 17th-century mansion transformed into contemporary chic to a family-friendly luxury retreat on a secluded island.
A former penal island, Ilha Grande still oozes charm. Look for wooden gables cloaked in Atlantic forest, and rooms decked out with string hammocks.
