Fernando de Noronha
True luxury is what we choose not to touch
An archipelago of 21 volcanic islands 545 km off the coast of Pernambuco, where underwater visibility passes 40 metres and access is deliberately limited. A UNESCO World Natural Heritage site since 2001 and a Ramsar Site since 2007.
Fernando de Noronha is not simply visited: you are granted permission to be there. Twenty-one volcanic islands, only one inhabited, 545 km from the mainland — and every trail, dive slot and beach follows a limit designed to keep the island exactly as it is.
The journey opens in Vila dos Remédios, the 18th-century historic heart, and at Fort Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, where the sun sets over the Mar de Dentro. It continues to Baía do Sancho — Voted multiple times the world's most beautiful beach by TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice. Access is via ladders embedded in a cliff crevice — the descent is part of the experience. Crystal-clear water with visibility up to 40 metres., voted the World's Best Beach seven times by TripAdvisor, reached through a cleft in the cliffs and strictly protected by ICMBio-accredited guides — All trails and tours are accompanied by ICMBio-accredited guides, born on the island or with years of local operation. They know every tide pool and every light schedule — and it's with them that your safety and your trip memories are built.. Baía dos Porcos frames Morro Dois Irmãos — Noronha's absolute postcard. The twin volcanic peaks rise from the sea at Baía dos Porcos and turn golden at sunset — the perfect moment for the trip's photo. and its natural pools; Cacimba do Padre holds the surf; and at Baía dos Golfinhos, from the clifftop viewpoint, Spinner Dolphin — Dolphin Bay hosts the planet's largest concentration of spinner dolphins. At dawn, hundreds enter the bay leaping in spins of up to seven rotations in the air. The Dolphin Lookout offers the best viewpoint from 5:30 am. appear on 95% of mornings.
Below the surface, visibility exceeds 40 metres: wrecks, turtles and living walls of reef. On land, Hawaiian canoe at first light and trails to natural pools such as Buraco do Galego and Lasca da Velha — at their best between April and October.
True luxury is what we choose not to touch. The island protects its nature and, quietly, teaches preservation.
