About Fernando de Noronha
Fernando de Noronha looks like it has been plucked straight out of a Bond movie. This stunning archipelago, consisting of 21 islands and islets lying 200 miles off Brazil's coast in the Atlantic Ocean, is jaw-droppingly beautiful; as are the best places to stay on Fernando de Noronha. Interestingly, it's named after a 16th-century merchant who was gifted the archipelago in return for importing Brazilian wood for the Portuguese government - plus, he was the one who actually found the islands in the first place!
Given its location, Fernando de Noronha is part of a unique special state district that's not attached to any other municipality; instead, it's run directly by the government. Be warned though that due to environmental preservation, visitors have to pay a daily fee to enter the island and another to see the National Park attractions. Since 2001, Fernando de Noronha has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the importance of its environmental biodiversity.
It's strange to think about, but all of Fernando de Noronha's islands are in fact just the visible tops of submerged mountain ranges! These islands attract an incredibly rich array of wildlife: sea turtles, spinner dolphins, albatrosses, humpback whales, and more.
What not to miss
- Whilst the islands are full of lovely beaches, we recommend in particular: Baia do Sancho, Cacimba do Padre and Conceicao Beach.
- Head off to Projeto Tamar and hear about all the conservation work that they do on the island.
- The Shark Museum is another fascinating spot for nature-lovers.
This archipelago can, unsurprisingly, draw a crowd so in order to ensure a room at one of the best places to stay in Fernando de Noronha we recommend planning your trip well in advance.
