Plan a Beach Honeymoon in Brazil by Dehouche

Brazil is a huge and diverse location famed for its stunning beaches, abundant wildlife and the easy going nature of its denizens. There are plenty of hidden away spots and romantic boutique hotels making it an ideal location for those looking for an exotic honeymoon.

The range and scope of a country larger than mainland USA can make the idea of planning a trip to Brazil a little daunting. However, by thinking about what you really want from the trip (and what is available) you should be able to plan an unforgettable honeymoon with a little care and attention.

First off, after a hectic wedding build up the first thing you're likely to want to do is get straight to the beach. But which type of beach? With over 4,000 miles of coastline Brazil has a huge range of different beach locations, so you should think about which suits you best:

- For Rustic chic and laid back beach village life, there's no place better than the hip beach village of Trancoso. There's plenty of restaurants, bars and shops in the village (though all low key luxury, very much in keeping with the natural style of the place) and great beaches nearby. It does get busy (and very expensive) during New Year's Eve and Carnival.

- For ease of access, Buzios (to the East of Rio) and the 'Costa Verde' (to the West) can't be beaten as you don't have to jump on a plane to get there from your international flight. Naturally some of the exclusivity can be lost, but choosing the correct hotel will make the difference. Buzios has more options for bars and nightlife, whilst further down the coast in Paraty or Picinguaba things are a little more relaxing (particularly in Picinguaba)

- For water sports (kite surfing and windsurfing) and possible one of the most unique beach locations in the world, Jericoacoara can't be beat. This is a very secluded spot on the North coast of Brazil surrounded by giant sand dunes. The seclusion does mean that travel takes a little longer, but it really makes for an unforgettable experience

- For tropical island seclusion, Boipeba is a great place to honeymoon, with miles and miles of class palm fringed beaches and a feeling that you have the place almost to yourselves. The lack of development here means that full luxury just isn't present but there are some charming pousadas to choose from which are very comfortable personal places to stay

- For high end luxury, seclusion and deserted beaches, Corumbau in the South of Bahia (a couple of hours drive from Trancoso) is the perfect place to unwind in full comfort.

- For the most unique and exclusive honeymoon beach destination one needs look no further than Fernando de Noronha, a protected tropical island paradise a one hour flight from the north east coast. The protected tropical waters are teeming with sea life making this one of the premier destinations for diving for the world. The strictly limited number of visitors to the island (around 400), means, that the beaches are deserted and are the perfect romantic setting for your honeymoon. Exclusivity comes at a price however with accommodation significantly more expensive than the mainland.

Celebrate New Year’s Eve 2011 in Rio de Janeiro

Who doesn’t harbour a lifelong dream of celebrating New Year in Rio, dressed in the hippest white outfit to show off a blazing tan, as fireworks explode like confetti overhead? Ride the wave of the infectious Brazilian party spirit and welcome 2011 in with a bang. Latin America’s most marvellous city moves fast, so here are the Dehouche insider’s tips to get the very best of it.

12 pm - Start the celebrations with a long, lazy lunch at Aprazivel in Santa Teresa. This wonderful restaurant is set high up on the hill of Santa Teresa, Rio’s bohemian quarter, and has truly inspirational views of Rio, particularly from the private tree house: Just ring the bell for another passion fruit caipirinha.

3 pm - Weave your way around the stunningly restored colonial mansions, home to artists, writers and musicians, then catch some live samba at Bar do Miniero, before settling down to some serious pampering at the world class spa at Hotel Santa Teresa.

6pm - New Year just wouldn’t be the same without a show stopping outfit. Stop off at Isabella Capeto’s gorgeous atelier before heading back to your ocean front hotel suite from some serious preening. Tradition is to wear white in honour of Iemanja, the goddess of the sea.

9pm - Champagne on the rooftop pool at the Fasano party is the only place to kick off celebrations. Mix with Latin America’s glitterati over a sumptuous seafood buffer at Al mare, before heading into achingly hip Londra bar for some serious dancing.

12pm - It’s a choice between the balcony at the Copacabana Palace or a private penthouse to watch the sky burst open with an incredible fireworks display, as thousands of revellers dressed in white light candles on the beach below.

3am - Follow the fashion crowd to continue the fun at the private party held at one of Rio’s top boutique hotels, La Suite. Perched on a cliff above the sea and surrounded by jungle, its breath-taking views are almost as legendary as its parties

6am - Pick up a bottle of champagne and head to Arpoador on Ipanema beach to toast the year’s first sunrise.

9am - By now you definitely deserve some top class brunch, and what better place than lounging on a bed in Parque Lage, a beautiful restored colonial mansion surrounded by sumptuous tropical gardens.

12am - After a spot of people watching and coconut water on Ipanema beach, the feather down pillows of your hotel suite await: it’s time for a nap before cocktail hour beckons once more.
