Sitio do Lobo Eco Fitness, Brazil, Overview

SITIO DO LOBO ECO FITNESS - REVIEW

Just south of Rio de Janeiro lies the stunning tropical island of Ilha Grande, a nature reserve where there are no roads, only mountain trails, dense jungle and over 100 unspoilt beaches. Set on a secluded waterfront is a delightful lodge called Sitio do Lobo, whose team of experts run health retreats that will nourish your mind, body and spirit. With a maximum of 16 guests, their unique weeklong "eco-fitness" programme offers the perfect combination of rainforest hiking, sea kayaking, yoga and a nutritionally-balanced diet in beautiful, exotic and stress-free surroundings. Envigorating days end with relaxing massages, the sounds of Brazilian music and long deep sleeps.

The programme allows each participant to push themselves to their limits, to integrate with the nature of the island and ultimately to detox and destress in a fun environment. For those with an adventurous spirit looking to unwind and re-evaluate their well-being, this trip is ideal.

HIGHS

The idyllic tropical location
Being surrounded by nature (think hummingbirds, giant blue butterflies and wild orchids)
Discovering some of Brazil's most stunning isolated beaches
Charming accommodation - stylish wooden cabanas with verandas and hammocks overlooking a glorious bay
Going home feeling cleansed, revitalised and a few pounds lighter
Being totally pampered on the last day at a day Spa in Rio
Minimal jetlag (UK time difference is just 2 hrs in winter, 4 in summer)

LOWS

Don't expect a host of slick spa facilities or 5 star accommodation - it's a magical place but the style is "sophisticated simplicity"
It's physically demanding so make sure you are relatively fit before you go
Being in the rainforest means there will be insects; however we found no mosquitos or creepy crawlies in our room and repellent is provided.
This is a detox week, so don't expect alcohol!

Detox weeks are held the last week of each month starting Sunday afternoon and ending the following Saturday afternoon.
