Why Choose a Bespoke Vacation in Brazil?
Brazil is not a country — it’s a continent disguised as one. Rich in biodiversity, culture, and geographic wonders, it offers something extraordinary for every kind of traveler. But for those who expect more than just sightseeing, a tailor-made journey reveals a Brazil few others ever see.
A bespoke vacation goes beyond typical luxury. It’s a travel experience designed exclusively for you — where your interests, preferences, and lifestyle are the blueprint. Whether you’re seeking cultural immersion, wild adventure, gourmet indulgence, or pure relaxation, Mèrola’s concierge planning ensures that every moment feels natural and unforgettable.
Today’s affluent traveler desires more than five-star hotels and business-class flights. They want meaning. Connection. Experiences that feel once-in-a-lifetime. Brazil, with its incredible diversity and warm hospitality, is the perfect canvas for such dreams.
Bespoke Luxury in Rio de Janeiro: From Carnival to Copacabana, Your Way
Few cities rival Rio de Janeiro in beauty, energy, and global allure. But while most visitors follow the same trail — Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Ipanema — your bespoke itinerary takes you beyond the postcards.
Start with a private sunrise visit to Corcovado, where the Christ the Redeemer statue gazes over a still-sleeping city. With early access arranged, you’ll have uninterrupted views and time to savor the serenity. Later, take to the skies with a helicopter tour over Rio’s breathtaking coastline, from the golden arc of Copacabana to the rugged cliffs of Urca.
Want to experience Carnival without the chaos? We’ll arrange VIP tickets to the Samba Parade, complete with lounge access, personal hosts, and behind-the-scenes meet-and-greets with dancers. Off-season, dive deeper into culture with a private samba workshop, or visit the atelier of a top Carnival designer.
Stay in a luxury boutique hotel in Santa Teresa, Rio’s bohemian hilltop district, or a penthouse in Ipanema with a full concierge team. Your personal chef can prepare a Brazilian tasting menu while you sip caipirinhas on your balcony overlooking the sea.
Adventurous? Hike Pedra Bonita at dawn with a private guide, or sail across Guanabara Bay at sunset on a luxury yacht. With Mèrola, Rio becomes a playground curated just for you — where every corner reveals a hidden treasure.
Northeast Brazil Bespoke Travel: Tropical Beaches & Afro-Brazilian Soul
Brazil’s Northeast is a tapestry of colonial charm, vibrant culture, and unspoiled beaches. Here, luxury takes on a more soulful rhythm — slow, sensual, and rooted in heritage.
Start in Salvador da Bahia, the cultural capital of Afro-Brazilian identity. Wander Pelourinho’s cobbled streets with a local historian, or visit a capoeira school for a private demonstration and conversation with masters of the art. Stay at the elegant Fasano Salvador, blending contemporary luxury with colonial charm. Mèrola can arrange respectful, enriching access to Candomblé ceremonies, art studios, and even private performances of samba-reggae.
Travel up or down the coast to find your beach paradise. Trancoso enchants with its laid-back elegance — think chic beach houses, al fresco gourmet dining, and bonfires under the stars. Stay in a private villa by the sand, complete with a local chef and yoga instructor. Ride horses at sunset, or take a guided dune buggy tour along secluded shorelines.
In Itacaré, immerse yourself in eco-luxury at the renowned Txai Resort or the paradisiacal Barracuda Hotel, surrounded by lush rainforest and wild beaches. Then escape to the secluded Maraú Peninsula, where sandy roads and barefoot elegance set the tone for true tropical serenity.
Craving even more seclusion? Fernando de Noronha is your destination — an island sanctuary with limited access, crystal-clear waters, and world-class diving. Only a few high-end eco-lodges operate here, and we’ll secure the finest. Think snorkeling with sea turtles, sunset boat rides, and dinners with ocean views, all far from crowds.
And let’s not forget the flavors. The Northeast boasts bold, Afro-Portuguese cuisine. Enjoy private cooking classes with Bahian chefs, or a beachside moqueca dinner prepared just for you — paired with the region’s best cachaça.
Amazon Rainforest Bespoke Travel: Ultimate Luxury in the Heart of the Jungle
For those seeking an immersive nature experience with ultimate comfort, the Amazon offers an unmatched combination of adventure, serenity, and exclusivity. The world’s largest rainforest is a treasure trove for birdwatching, wildlife encounters, and profound connection with nature.
Begin your journey aboard the Untamed Amazon – the first eco-friendly luxury cruise in the Amazon. This all-inclusive river expedition combines five-star comfort with immersive guided adventures through the untouched rainforest. Experience sunrise birdwatching with expert naturalists, canoe excursions to spot rare pink river dolphins, and meaningful visits to local communities for authentic cultural encounters.
