The constant east breeze caressing your body, the crystal emerald waters, and the sound of the baby waves gingerly licking the sand seem like a romantic movie backdrop built to impress. The wind generates a distinctive climatic condition lending an average of 78.8°F (26°C) year around. Búzios arid weather has two to three times more unclouded days than anywhere in Rio de Janeiro.

One incredible uniqueness of Búzios is that although considered a high-end beach resort, the town maintains a provincial feel. Only three hours from Rio, ​​ the city was originally a fisherman's village occupied by Indians, French, Portuguese, and even pirates. 

It is not by coincidence that Búzios attracts celebrities of the caliber of Madonna, Matthew McConaughey, Raquel Welch, and Mick Jagger. The charming architecture from that time is preserved and present until this day all over town. Most houses have the particular "Buziano" architectural style, characterized by the low height of colonial constructions (no more than two stories), Spanish tile roofs, handcrafted materials, eucalyptus beams, glass, and a vast protected ecosystem. This style is present not only in private residences but also in businesses around town.

Delight yourself with the local cuisine, from amazingly affordable "homemade" meals to many top-ranking international delicacies with restaurants with outdoor terraces and ocean views. You are in for a treat from seafood to the delicious Brazilian "churrasco" or "feijoada"!

Commonly known as just "Búzios," the 4.97mls (8km) peninsula is a lively international beach resort eternalized in the 1960s by the French icon Brigitte Bardot and well-known for its peculiar architecture, nonchalant atmosphere, cobblestone streets, and 26 unique beaches.
