Where to stay on Ilha Grande?

Our recommendation is that you stay in Abraão, on Ilha Grande, simply because it is the main city on the island, where you will find 90% of the hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, shops, bars, and nightlife.

In addition, Vila do Abraão is the best place to stay in Ilha Grande because:

  • most boats from the mainland arrive at Abraão and because there are no cars or roads on Ilha Grande to take you to other areas of the island, it makes sense to stay within walking distance of the main pier;
  • Abraão is also the place where boats and daily tours depart to visit other parts of the island;
  • even when you’re not exploring, Abraão is the best area to stay during your visit to Ilha Grande, because there is more to do, especially at night if bars, restaurants, and parties are part of your interests when traveling.

If you want to escape the crowd, there are also wonderful pousadas on the outskirts of the Abraão, which are in beautiful and peaceful areas, but also only accessible by boat. In that case, you will need to take a quick boat ride into town if you need anything.
