A rare and unique private island estate in Brazil.

Set within the sheltered waters of Angra dos Reis, Ilha do Pitanguy is a private island estate extending to approximately 300,000 sqm. Conceived and shaped over decades by Professor Ivo Pitanguy, the island stands as both a private sanctuary and a lasting expression of his vision: a place where nature and art are combined together. Preserved as a living landscape, the island features private beaches, Atlantic Forest, walking trails, panoramic viewpoints, a swimming pool, sauna and beachfront gourmet area. Its vegetation, wildlife and birdlife form part of the character of the estate, giving the island a rare sense of atmosphere and permanence. A deep-water pier provides yacht access, while a private airstrip allows direct arrival by light aircraft or helicopter. The island also benefits from natural freshwater springs, independent electricity systems and potential for further solar infrastructure.

The estate comprises a collection of Mediterranean-style bungalows arranged discreetly across the island. The main bungalow includes the principal reception areas, dining room, sitting room, fireplace, two kitchens and staff accommodation. Private accommodation is distributed across separate guest bungalows, including a principal suite and further bedroom suites designed for privacy. Additional amenities include a games room and cinema. Throughout, the estate reflects the sensibility of its creator: considered, private and deeply connected to its natural setting.

Ilha do Pitanguy lies within Angra dos Reis, one of Brazil’s most desirable coastal destinations, known for its sheltered waters, island scenery and world-class sailing. The island offers complete privacy while remaining accessible by boat from the mainland, with Rio de Janeiro reachable by helicopter or light aircraft in approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
