EXPERIENCES  > BOIPEBA ISLAND

Barefoot in Bahia, Simplicity at its Finest

As if hidden from the eyes of the world since the dawn of time, we find Ilha de Boipeba, a utopia of palm tree-lined bays, thatched roof beach shacks and a pace of life so serene that you cannot help but unwind here. The central town of Velha Boipeba is a quiet and rustic affair with an almost Caribbean feel to its laidback streets, jewelry sellers and local style restaurants.

Indeed, many have commented that this secluded island hideaway feels like ‘Morro de Sao Paulo but 20 years ago’, which is really saying something given the quaint nature of little Morro today! So, whether taking a wildlife watching boat ride through the nearby mangroves, snorkeling the delightful offshore reefs or simply swinging in the comfort of a beachside hammock in front of your family run inn; experiencing the delights of Ilha de Boipeba is sure to put you at one with these all-natural, heavenly surrounds.
