Ilha do Mel trip planner

Situated in the mouth of the Baia de Paranagua, scenic and tranquil Ilha do Mel boasts many natural and man-made attractions. Accessible only by boat, the island owes its tranquility to a lack of automobiles and minimal development: three small villages are the closest you'll come to urban areas here. Tourism on Ilha do Mel accounts for the bulk of its infrastructure, offering a wide range of options for outdoor escapists looking for quiet beaches, hiking trails, and characterful local restaurants and bars. The waves that roll onto the island's long sandy beaches draw a large contingent of surfers, though a taste for the simplicity of island life is all you'll need to enjoy a vacation on Ilha do Mel.
