If you are heading to Brazil for the World Cup, you will no doubt have a month of non-stop festivities and a jam-packed match schedule ahead. Perhaps a stay in a luxury villa for some downtime will be just the ticket.
Or, why not go all out and really seek solitude on a private island? Where in Rio offers seriously luxe apartments and villas for rent in the most fashionable parts of Rio, but the company’s top-of-the-range escape is a stay on the island of Maná, three hours from Rio, but a 20-minute helicopter ride away.
The 65,000-square-metre island, which sleeps eight people, is for your exclusive use and features a main house and four bungalows that make you feel as though you are sleeping right out over the water. A 24-hour concierge is also on hand for any special requests you may have during your stay, including (if your lucky) last-minute tickets to matches.
