Workation in Ilhabela: the essentials

A 15-minute ferry from São Sebastião brings you to Ilhabela, an island municipality off the north coast of São Paulo state, 205 km from the metropolis. Most of the main island, Ilha de São Sebastião, is protected Atlantic forest and waterfalls, with life concentrated along the west shore, while the beaches on the east side take a 4x4 or a boat. About 35,000 people live here, and holiday crowds can push that to 100,000, with waits of several hours for the ferry in summer. The biting borrachudo midges are a real nuisance. Flying in usually means São Paulo, followed by the road down to the coast.
