Day 1 Arrive Ilha Grande
You will be met at Rio International Airport (or a city hotel) and transferred to Ilha Grande, located 100 miles south of Rio de Janeiro. Ilha Grande is famous for its 106 beaches, 56 waterfalls, caves, and rivers and is protected as a wildlife reserve. The lodge offers a private beach, a yoga deck and our own private pier. Our lodge has only 9 exclusive rooms, each of them with a fantastic ocean view from its own private veranda, en suite facilities and air conditioning should the sea breeze not suffice.
Days 2 - 6 Island Fitness Retreat
With training and experience in yoga instruction, massage, nutrition and outdoor activities, the lodge's team will give you plenty of support and encouragement over the next few days.
Typically, our days begin and end with yoga and between times, we enjoy out-of-doors physical activities like hiking through rainforest and sea kayaking around the island's pristine coast. For a change of pace, discover underwater worlds on a snorkelling adventure or get the feet tapping with samba or capoeira lessons. Wind down after the day's activities with an hour long massage each evening.
Day 7 Depart Ilha Grande
Leaving our Island Retreat is difficult but it's time to return to Rio and her many attractions or your onward connection home.

On 07 June the Australian Government issued an updated travel warning for East Timor strongly advising against travel to East Timor because of the extremely dangerous security situation. Australians in the country are advised to leave. The Travel Warning remains at Category 5 - Do Not Travel.
On Tuesday 07 June we have taken the decision to cancel the remainder of our East Timor trips scheduled to depart in 2006. All travellers will be notified and given the opportunity to transfer to another trip or obtain a full refund (land content only). We very much regret having to take this action and our thoughts and sympathies are with the people of East Timor during this troubled time.
We are confident of being able to resume our normal schedule of trips to East Timor in 2007 and hope that those travellers who have had to cancel their plans this year will travel with us to East Timor in 2007.
