Ilhabela
Where to stayIlhabela requires a strategic choice based on your travel profile. The island is mainly divided into three zones:
- Vila (Historic Center): Ideal for those seeking charm, gastronomy, sophisticated nightlife, and cultural proximity. It is the most preserved and elegant region.
- Praia do Curral and surroundings (South): The heart of the action and beach clubs. Perfect for those who want to be close to the sea, parties, and complete infrastructure. It is the region with the highest concentration of luxury hotels.
- Praia do Perequê: The island's commercial hub. It is the best logistical location, facilitating access to both the north and the south, in addition to having services like supermarkets, banks, and pharmacies.
- North Side: Quieter and family-oriented. Ideal for those looking for peace and calmer waters, such as Praia da Armação.
*2026 Tip:* Traffic on the ferry and the main road can be intense during peak season. Choose your accommodation based on your main itinerary to avoid unnecessary travel.
