Búzios is definitely among South America’s most popular and most loved travel destinations. Its natural beauty and flair are world famous and have awarded this tucked away seaside village the title of honour “Brazilian St. Tropez”.

Whoever decides to spend their holidays here faces the same question every morning: which of the 25 (!) pristine beaches and splendid bays to choose! The best thing is…the Búzios peninsula is very narrow and only a few kilometres long, so all these beaches can easily be reached either by foot, by mini bus or in one of the fun and cheap to rent beach buggies.

The coastal landscape is fabulously beautiful and very diverse and on top of it all, the water temperature is nice and warm all year round. This and its superb infrastructure make Búzios a prime location for all types of water sports – and kitesurfing is just one of them. In Búzios you can catch waves, go wind surfing, wake boarding, diving, snorkelling, sea kayaking and sailing. And all of this within a radius of 8km.

Búzios is all about FUN, SPORTS and RELAXATION.

Be it the cosy backpackers, the little pousada by the sea or the 5 star luxury hotel – in Búzios you will have no problems to find your perfect match.

Búzios is the #1 trend setter for Brazilian bikini fashion and with its countless little shops and boutiques, the seaside resort is a true shopping heaven. A legendary night life with great Brazilian live music venues and international club beats until the early morning hours is the icing on the cake.

But if you are looking for more of a low key holiday experience, it’s just as easy to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre and retreat to long walks along the beautiful beaches or spend a wonderfully lazy afternoon with a good book by the pool side.

Apart from being a great spot for water sports, Búzios also offers a fantastic 18-hole golf course, public tennis courts and countless opportunities to play beach volley ball or football with the locals. Even yoga and capoeira classes are on offer so that everyone finds just the right activity to round out their perfect holiday.

Búzios is located 160km east of Rio de Janeiro and is easily accessible either by car or by coach. So whoever spends their holidays in Búzios can drive to Rio in a matter of two hours to submerge themselves in the bustling city scene of the South American metropolis.

Good to know: Many hotels in Búzios organise transfers straight from the airport or from your previous accommodation in Rio de Janeiro.
