About This Signature Package
A private wellness travel package in Rio de Janeiro with beachfront stay, nature, culture, and self-care experiences.
Rio is a city where nature, spirituality, movement, and culture meet effortlessly. The ocean sets the rhythm, the mountains create space to breathe, and the Carioca lifestyle reminds you that well-being can be simple, joyful, and deeply human.
This package was created for travelers who want to experience Rio de Janeiro with more intention. Instead of rushing through attractions, you will enjoy a balanced itinerary with private transfers, a beachfront stay, a beach yoga or meditation session, a private Tijuca Forest and Botanical Garden tour, a relaxing spa ritual, local movement experiences, and a cultural walk through Santa Teresa.
For those who want a more complete journey, the Extended Package also includes a private visit to Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, plus a sunset sailing tour on Guanabara Bay — two iconic ways to admire Rio from above and from the water.
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrival & Ocean Energy
Welcome to Rio de Janeiro. Upon arrival, your private driver will meet you at the airport and take you comfortably to your beachfront hotel in Rio’s South Zone.
In the late afternoon, ease into the city with a yoga or guided meditation session by the beach. This is your moment to slow down, breathe in the ocean air, and set your intentions for the days ahead.
The evening is at leisure, allowing you to rest after your journey or enjoy a relaxed dinner by the sea.
Optional dinner, not included: Teva or another natural cuisine restaurant.
Day 2 — Nature & Body
Begin the day surrounded by Rio’s tropical nature on a private tour through Tijuca Forest, one of the city’s most beautiful green areas. Depending on weather and trail conditions, the experience may include scenic viewpoints, forest paths, and time to refresh yourself near a waterfall.
You will also visit the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, a peaceful place to connect with Brazil’s biodiversity, tropical plants, and shaded pathways.
After a light lunch nearby, continue your day of self-care with a 2-hour ritual at RioSpa, featuring massages and therapies with native Brazilian products.
Day 3 — Rhythm & Culture
Start the day with movement and joy. Choose between a samba class or a beach activity such as beach tennis, Hawaiian canoeing, or another available local experience. This is a light and fun way to connect with Rio’s body culture, rhythm, and outdoor lifestyle.
Later, head to Santa Teresa, one of Rio’s most charming and artistic neighborhoods. After lunch, enjoy a walking tour through colorful streets, local ateliers, historic corners, and scenic viewpoints.
This day brings together body, creativity, culture, and the relaxed soul of Rio.
Day 4 — Expansion
Extended Package only
Today is dedicated to Rio’s most iconic landscapes. On a private 6-hour city tour, visit Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain with tickets included. These two landmarks offer unforgettable views of the city’s mountains, beaches, forest, and bay.
In the late afternoon, shift perspective and set sail on Guanabara Bay. The sunset sailing tour is a peaceful and memorable way to admire Rio’s skyline, mountains, and coastline from the water.
Day 5 — Farewell
Extended Package only
After breakfast, your private transfer will take you to the airport.
Leave Rio feeling recharged, grounded, and inspired — carrying not only photos, but a deeper sense of connection with the city, its nature, and yourself.
