Day 1: Arrive at Fernando de Noronha Touch down on one of Brazil's most protected islands and settle into Hamares Boutique Hotel, a contemporary property in Floresta Velha with views across to Morro do Pico and the Atlantic. The Villa Mar has its own private pool and balcony looking out to sea. Note that the island's Marine National Park access fee and daily environmental preservation fee are required of all non-resident visitors both are included in the itinerary and contribute directly to the conservation of the archipelago. Overnight: Hamares Boutique Hotel
Day 2: Around the Island Explore Fernando de Noronha by private 4x4 with a local guide, moving between beaches, clifftop viewpoints and historic stops. Swim and snorkel in the turquoise water of Sueste Bay and Sancho Beach, stand above Baía dos Porcos with the twin peaks of Morro Dois Irmãos rising ahead, and pull over at Dolphin Bay, home to one of the largest resident populations of spinner dolphins in the world to watch the pods move through the bay below. Stop at the rock formations of Buraco da Raquel and finish at Santo Antonio Port, where the early history of aviation and island life is written into the harbour walls. Overnight: Hamares Boutique Hotel
Day 3: Below the Surface and Above the Cliffs Take to the water in the morning for four personalised baptism dives in Noronha's protected depths, guided at your own pace by expert instructors. Glide among sea turtles, coral and reef fish in calm, clear water, surfacing between dives for fruit, sandwiches and brigadeiros on deck. In the afternoon, follow the Costa dos Mirantes Trail from the Dolphin Lookout along raised walkways and shaded clifftop paths connecting a series of panoramic viewpoints. The route ends at the Dois Irmãos lookout before descending to Sancho Bay, where there may be time to swim depending on the sea. Overnight: Hamares Boutique Hotel
Day 4: A Day at Your Own Pace Noronha rewards those who slow down. Settle beside Hamares' infinity pool as Morro do Pico rises beyond the terrace, take a treatment at the spa, or return to a beach that caught your eye. The island is small enough to explore independently, and the hotel's concierge can point you toward quieter spots. Overnight: Hamares Boutique Hotel
Day 5: Fly to São Paulo Leave the island and fly to São Paulo, arriving in time to check in to Emiliano on Rua Oscar Freire, a quiet, design-led hotel in Jardins, surrounded by boutiques, galleries and some of the city's most celebrated restaurants. One night here before the flight south. Overnight: Emiliano São Paulo
Day 6: South to Santa Catarina Fly from São Paulo to Florianópolis and transfer across Santa Catarina Island, passing lagoons, forested hills and stretches of turquoise coastline to Awasi Santa Catarina. Fourteen private villas sit within native Atlantic Forest, each with its own plunge pool. Your dedicated private guide and 4x4 are in place from arrival, and the programme is shaped entirely around your interests. Overnight: Awasi Santa Catarina
Day 7: Into the Marine Reserve Head offshore toward the Arvoredo Marine Reserve, one of the few fully protected marine environments along Brazil's southern coast. Snorkel or dive among sea turtles, schools of fish and colourful reef in crystalline water. Back at the lodge, launch a paddleboard from the beach and drift along the sheltered coves of the Emerald Coast at your own pace. Overnight: Awasi Santa Catarina
Day 8: Trails and Azorean Villages Take the boat to Jordão and follow the 12-kilometre coastal trail back through Atlantic Forest, open headlands and quiet stretches of sand to Armação, finishing with a beachside picnic. Alternatively, head into Florianópolis to explore the Azorean-influenced villages and fishing communities that shaped the island's identity, past coastal viewpoints and the colourful old town, with oyster tastings along the way. Your guide will shape the day around conditions and your preference. Overnight: Awasi Santa Catarina
Day 9: The Fortress and the Garden Cruise across to Anhatomirimm an 18th-century fortress perched above turquoise bays, meeting local boatbuilders along the way and pausing on the beach before the return crossing. Back at the lodge, wander the organic gardens with your guide to discover native stingless bees and taste honey straight from the hive: a quiet, sensory counterpoint to the open water of the morning. Overnight: Awasi Santa Catarina
Day 10: Departure A final morning on Santa Catarina Island before the transfer to Florianópolis Airport.
