ANGRA DOS REIS, BRAZIL
This jet-set archipelago on the Costa Verde, southwest of Rio, has 2,000 beaches dotted across its almost 365 islands—one for every day of the year, locals joke. The vibe? Hamptons with a dash of the Hollywood Hills.
Rub suntanned elbows with: Well-to-do weekenders from São Paulo, making the most of their society connections—and their friends' yachts.
Best way to cool off: Draft beers, called chopps, served frigidly cold.
Beach chic: A Day-Glo Rosa Chá bikini and brand-new breasts.
Where to bed down: Your own private island. The white sand–wrapped Ilha do Ouriço has just five thatched cabanas, each for two people. Glass floors let you ogle the sea life from the sofa.
