The Island of Wishes is a small private island in Ilha Grande Bay, in Angra dos Reis. Our challenge is to make the island sustainable, enabling it as a lodging project where people enjoy extraordinary nature and live a transformative experience.
Living on an island is learning from its limits. Our energy comes from the sun, our water comes from the rain, and everything arrives by boat. Each decision, from taking a shower to using an electric appliance, carries weight, and that changes the way we view consumption and time.
Here you wake up surrounded by sea and forest, see the sun rise and set every day, and share breakfast with the birds. We are a small accommodation, with only three houses, and that is why your work truly matters and is part of the project. You will see up close how an island hospitality business works, from boat logistics to sustainability management.
What we offer: accommodation on the island (guest room when there are no guests, or shared room during stays), breakfast, lunch and dinner with the team, 2 days off per week. A workload of 25 hours per week.
In your free time you can swim, go kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and witness all this beauty. On days off, you can explore Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis and Paraty.
Activities: familiarize yourself with the island, talk with us about it, listen to the stories, select material, write and edit.
Safety first
• Do not walk on the decks while looking at your phone.
• Do not dive from the pier or from the decks into the pool: it is shallow.
• Wear footwear and pay attention to the uneven ground.
• Use the PPE provided for any work with tools, paints or chemicals.
Water and energy
• The water comes from rain and is scarce: short showers, taps tightly closed, and the bucket under the shower until the water warms up.
• Energy is solar: no hair dryers, straighteners, irons, electric kettles or other high-consumption appliances.
Island and sea
• Toilet paper and any object should never go into the toilet: the system is septic.
• Do not throw into the sea anything that fish won't eat.
• The island's objects came from various parts of the world and are part of its history. Nothing can be taken from here.
Coexistence with guests
• During stays, discretion and respect for guests' privacy.
• Do not photograph or publish guests' images.
• Your room may change during the stay, according to occupancy.
Teamwork
• Here we live as a small community. Like everyone on the team, you will help wash dishes from time to time, carry shopping bags that arrive by boat, and help clean the island. These tasks are part of living together and do not count toward the 25 weekly hours.
• Tools go back to their place at the end of each day.
Bring: insect repellent and, if you are allergic, an anti-allergic ointment.
