Vila do Abraão
The island's only main village and ferry port. This car-free village is packed with guesthouses, restaurants and boat-tour booking offices.
Vila do Abraão is the gateway to Ilha Grande and its main accommodation hub. Cars are banned on the island, so the village has only sandy paths, colourful guesthouses, seafood restaurants and the small Chapel of Saint Sebastian. Nearly all island boat tours, lagoon snorkelling trips and hiking routes depart from here, and the seaside bars come alive at night. Ferries or speedboats from Angra dos Reis city or Conceição de Jacareí take about 40 to 80 minutes. Plan to stay two to three nights. Cash withdrawals are difficult on the island, so it's best to bring enough cash with you.
