With literally thousands of miles of beautiful beaches, friendly locals and great weather it's no wonder that more and more travelers are choosing Brazil for their luxury holidays.
Travel to Brazil has been increasing year on year and the infrastructure has improved greatly.
There are now many different options for the luxury traveler when contemplating Brazil.
The most popular destination for all travelers in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro and surprisingly, until recently, the choice of luxury accommodation here was quite limited.
Most hotels are on the beach front, the best beach to be located on is either Ipanema or Leblon which are the two best neighborhoods of Rio.
The Fasano hotel is located on Ipanema beach and is the newest addition to Rio's luxury hotel scene.
For those with the spending power, this is the best hotel in Rio.
In Leblon, the Marina All Suites is also a good option if one of the design suites is chosen.
However the infrastructure of the hotel is a little lacking.
The Copacabana Palace is probably Rio's most famous hotel and whilst the hotel is superb, the location itself (Copacabana) is not what it once was.
For luxury beach holidays in Brazil it's hard to leave out a destination like Trancoso.
The laid-back rustic chic of this village makes it instantly appealing with some great boutique shops and good restaurants to choose from as well as the miles of stunning beaches.
There's a variety of top quality hotels here with some full luxury options on the beach front and some more boutique style lodgings in the village itself.
For complete beach luxury Corumbau, just south of Trancoso has two great luxury hotels: Fazenda do Sao Francisco and Tauana, both offer large luxury bungalows looking out to sea.
Whilst if you're looking to be exclusive then look no further than Fernando de Noronha, a tropical island paradise off the north Coast of Brazil.
Its protected status and strictly limited number of tourists mean that prices are high, but the reward is unspoilt wildlife, pristine beaches and one of the most unique experiences in the world making it the perfect location for a luxury holiday in Brazil.
Luxury holidays in Brazil often include the Amazon, with a range of different lodges available.
There are only a couple of good lodges available so it's important to make sure that you have good recommendations.
The lodges that are best for spotting wildlife are generally further away from the city of Manaus.
For full luxury travel in the Amazon the very best option is charter of a private boat, this way a variety of different locations can be seen whilst you have the luxury and personal service of the team that support you.
A further, often overlooked part of Brazil for the luxury holidaymakeris Sao Paulo.
Due to its increasing economic power and status as the capital of modern Brazilian culture Sao Paulo is an exciting place to visit as part of a luxury holiday to Brazil.
There are also a range of excellent luxury hotels in Sao Paulo, such as the Fasano, Hotel Unique and the Emiliano, all offering world class service.
