The Girl from Ipanema - Beach in Brazil

by Dave Jackson

I don’t think there is another song that so enchanted the world back in mid 1960′s than The Girl From Ipanema. Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes co-wrote the song in 1962 and it was a perfect for the time as any smash hit today. And what exactly inspired the song? Well, some say it was Heloisa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto (I know, they have more names than you can shake a stick at) a 15 year old who strolled past the cafe where the two song writers hung out. I’ve been there, know how the girls walk down to the beach every morning and yes, inspiration flows. And we all know what Brazilian females look like. Ai Carumba! But let’s chat about the beach - Ipanema.

First of all I’m thinking of its magnificent gulf, providing a natural harbour, maybe the largest in the Mediterranean. Secondly the island’s vast wealth of mineral which is playing a major role in the economy, culture and development of the island society. The beautiful Greek Islands are renowned for their spectacular scenery, magnificent mountainous backdrops, stunning sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Holidays to the Greek Islands are often most cherished for this combination of sunshine, warm waters and beaches set against truly wonderful scenery.

Cost of Living Near Ipanema Beach Rio

by Dave Jackson

Ipanema is one of the most expensive places to live in Rio. At the forefront of beach culture are the many surfers and sun worshippers who socialize daily at the beach. Although beachfront rentals are highly sought after they tend to be more expensive than the rentals that are close, but not on the beach. Many people prefer to live slightly offset from the beach because they still experience the same enjoyment of the beaches, but at a lesser cost! This is because located on the hillside next to Ipanema beach is a favela. Many of the residents of this favela make their way down to Ipanema beach and peddle their wears.

Maldives Best Beach - Veligandu Island

by Dave Jackson

This best beach is nestled in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, about 700 Km south-west of Sri Lanka. Theory states a volcano may have pushed the ocean bottom near the surface, nature took over creating over 1190 small islands, 200 which are inhabited by the people of the Republic of Maldives.

Veligandu Island is our choice for best beach, and best overall resort. It is accessible from the airport at Male (capital) by plane - a short 15 minute breath taking flight. You’ll fly over many Maldivian islands and reefs, most uninhabited, and land right at the beach.
