An Island Spa Experience of
a Different Sort

Many people sit at the desk at work and dream of an exotic island
vacation. In Brazil, one group has created an island experience of
a different sort.
An Island Experience of a Different Sort
Located on the island of Ilha Grande, the Island Experience is a
resort spa of a truly unique type. The island is entirely private
and encompassed by the resort. Located off the coast about 100
miles south of Rio de Janeiro, the island has 106 beaches, 50 plus
waterfalls, caves and waterfalls. Much of the island is actually a
protected habitat as it is covered in Atlantic Rainforest, some of
the only such rainforest still in Brazil.
The Island Experience is unique for its location, but also for its
services. This is not your mother’s spa retreat. The Island
Experience is an adventure spa. Treatments include traditional,
top notch services such as massage, facials and such for body
rejuvenation. The spa, however, also places a strong emphasis on
getting out and around on the island. The general philosophy is to
experience the energy of the rainforest and ocean around you.
While at Ilha Grande, you will be encouraged to get out and
experience this amazing place. For water enthusiasts, there is sea
kayaking, snorkeling and diving. For those with boots, hiking to
the various waterfalls and caves is an enjoyable, relaxing
experience. For those that prefer to relax around the lodge, yoga
classes are conducted regularly.
The lodge that serves as your home away from home at the Island
Experience is something to behold. The rainforest runs directly
down to the ocean and the lodge hovers directly at the
intersection of these two natural forces. You literally can walk
out onto the deck and watch the waves break below you.
The Island Experience is definitely a location for the
connoisseur. There are only nine rooms available and prices are
such that if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it. On a
side note, keep in mind that you must obtain a visa to visit
Brazil and the lovely island of Ilha Grande.
