This is an extraordinary hotel. Its also an extraordinary price, but well worth it. The little touches like the complimentary sparkling wine at sunset out of the iconic pink camper van was a lovely gesture. The rooms are beautifully furnished, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are gorgeous. The staff are friendly, informal and approachable. Loved the bar. Breakfast was sumptuous in terms of range and quality. The swimming pool area and gym are both great. Perhaps the most important thing to note is the exclusive access you get to the falls before and after the park opens and closes. It means you get the place to yourselves for at least an hour or two at the beginning and end of each day. We set off just after sunrise for a guided tour of the falls (again, a complimentary part of the hotel's offer) and it was magical. When you see the scale of the crowds that build during the day, you can see why the hotel is worth the money just for this aspect alone.

Our stay was simply majestic. From the first minute you notice the excellence in the detail, but what touched my heart the most was the care and the very special attention they had for my little daughter. The level of friendliness and warmth from all the hotel staff made us feel at home. The small gestures like the water, the chocolates in the room and, above all, the picnic in front of the falls, will remain engraved forever in my daughter's memory. A huge round of applause for the guys in the entertainment area; the way they treat the children is extraordinary. Having the luxury of enjoying the falls practically to ourselves before the park opens is priceless. An adorable detail: seeing the coati families walking through the hotel gardens in the morning. We had an incredible guide who spoke English, Spanish, and Portuguese perfectly.

I always look for nice hotels with the best possible location. But this hotel is the BEST!! Every detail is taken care of. Absolutely all of the staff was friendly and the facilities are perfect. The rooms are clean and very well maintained. The decoration of the public areas is elegant and understated. The food is delicious in both restaurants, dinner at the "Y" restaurant was superb. We took the nighttime tour of the waterfalls by moonlight and it was magical. The hotel organized the transfers and they were perfect. Being inside the park allows you to visit the waterfalls early and without crowds. And to see the sunset from the garden, the tower, your room, or along the trails. If you are going to the waterfalls, this is definitely the best place to stay.

Organisation and communication. Ana was always available she answered to all my questions she prepared many offers until I got the one that convinced me. When she did had the answer she asked to partner and she came back to me. She could suggest me a floating lodge that was more near to my wishes ( more familiar and less crowded). What PlanetaEXO propose it s just unforgettable: paradise location and very professional team. Guide was speaking perfect English and Portuguese and we really appreciated that was a local guy and he knew a lot about every single tree around. His name it s dodo. And I m vegan and the chef of the cozinha, Adriana, prepared meat that I never had so delicious in all Brasil. She s well aware of any allergies or intolerance you could have and adapt her recipes. Just keep in mi d that planetexpo asked me to pay in advance all the tour I was a bit scared but I trusted them and apparently it quite normal.

We had an awesome jungle adventure at the Dolphin Lodge. We've been on two safari trips in Africa, and this delivered a similar experience but in Amazon jungle form. Getting to the lodge was an adventure in itself, with multiple fun boat rides. Then once there, we did a boat safari deep into the river system to see birds, animals and even went piranha fly fishing (my favorite). They also took us out at night to spot baby caimans and got to hold one that our guide caught with his hands! On our last day, we did a jungle hike and got to learn a lot about the Amazon rainforest. Overall, thrilled with the experience and highly recommend.

SPECTACULAR hotel! I had a wonderful experience from beginning to end: comfort, service from the staff, meals, everything a perfect 10! For me the best of all was the quality of the guides who lead the safaris. A true lesson on every outing!

A fabulous hotel that leaves nothing to be desired. Everything worked smoothly from arrival (transfer from IGU airport via hotel) to on-site service and departure. The staff speak good English throughout, are very friendly and helpful and always approachable. We visited Parque das Aves with the free hotel shuttle, which takes you to the entrance of the national park every 25 minutes. Breakfast left nothing to be desired, dinner was varied and very good and the bar was also excellent. The concierge team, which is responsible for excursions and drivers, offers helpful tips in addition to the actual bookings. Due to its unique location, you can be at the falls in front of the other tourists, but you can also see toucans, parrots and nose bears on the hotel grounds. The free offer to enjoy the sunset with a glass of sparkling wine was also fun. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and can only recommend.

Visit this hotel for work without staying there, but I can say that it is a luxury, both the location (have the falls at the exit of the hotel and with view from some rooms), and the design, facilities, details in the rooms!! In addition to the lodging itself, being there gives you more time and possibility to visit the falls earlier without long lines, hire sunrise experiences at the falls... Definitely recommended!!

Brazil luxury tours: where does five-star meet real wildlife?

High-end experiences can be directly linked to a 53,000-hectare private reserve with a jaguar you can actually watch or a suite facing a flooded forest. The best Brazil luxury tours spend the money where it changes the trip: fewer guests, better guides, and lodges built inside the ecosystems most travelers only glimpse from a bus. Want the short version? You trade crowds for access.

That access is concentrated in three places. The Amazon Rainforest (60% of which sits in Brazil) is where a luxury Amazon cruise carries just 16 guests in air-conditioned suites or where design-led lodges hold only 13 rooms facing the Anavilhanas archipelago, one of the largest freshwater archipelagos on Earth.

The Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland at roughly 150,000 km², is where the highest-end safari camps run jaguar tracking with the Onçafari conservation project. and post some of the best big-cat sighting rates in the Americas. And Fernando de Noronha, a UNESCO-listed archipelago of 21 islands, is where luxury means a private dive boat over water that drops to 40 m of visibility.

So who are these trips for? Travelers who want comfort and contact: couples on a honeymoon, photographers, families booking a private villa, and anyone who’d rather see one pristine reserve well than five places in a hurry. Most luxury tours in Brazil run as small, private departures with your own guide, your own pace, and itineraries you can shape around what you actually came to see.

Indulgence here also leans green. The country’s strongest comfort lodges and luxury resorts are eco-lodges, so high-end and low-impact tend to go together.

A practical note before you plan: our packages cover the on-the-ground experience (lodges, guides, meals listed in the itinerary, and transfers from the base city) but not international or domestic flights. Tell us your dates and we’ll line your flights up with the start and end of the trip. Whether you picture luxury vacations in Brazil built around design lodges, a back-to-back wildlife run, or relaxed holidays that end on a beach, we cost it by trip, not by brochure.

Not sure where to begin: the Amazon or the Pantanal? The trips below are sorted by region and comfort level, and any of them can be run fully private.
