In the protected waters of Angra dos Reis, one of Brazil's most exclusive destinations, lies one of the most spectacular private islands ever offered on the international market: Ilha do Pitanguy.
This tropical paradise has been a destination for some of the world's most famous figures over the years. Among the names mentioned as guests of the island is the famous actor Tom Cruise, who reportedly spent time there with Katie Holmes during a period when the couple maintained a very reserved public profile.
For decades, the island has been the private retreat of Professor Ivo Pitanguy, one of the most renowned cosmetic surgeons in history, who had royal family figures, political leaders and Hollywood stars as clients.
A private island of 300 thousand square meters
Ilha do Pitanguy covers an area of approximately 300,000 square meters and combines untouched nature with the luxurious architecture of a private residence.
Surrounded by the greenery of the Atlantic Forest, the island offers private beaches, panoramic trails and stunning views towards the sea. The native flora and fauna give the area a unique character, creating the feeling of a place disconnected from the modern world.
Starting in 1974, Ivo Pitanguy worked together with Brazilian architect Paulo Coelho to transform the island, creating new structures, internal paths, and independent infrastructure systems, including energy supply and other services.
The island's residences consist of modernist-style bungalows and suites, with arched walls, white facades and large windows that open towards the ocean.
The interiors combine Brazilian modernism with contemporary luxury elements. Open spaces, elegant verandas and lounges with panoramic views create a direct connection between the architecture and the surrounding nature.
A haven for the world's most powerful people
After its transformation, Ilha do Pitanguy became an exclusive place for the famous surgeon's family, close friends and a select circle of people who sought absolute privacy.
Pitanguy was also a well-known figure among the international elite, especially in the United States, where his line of skin care products was distributed in some of the most luxurious shopping malls.
Although the island has been associated with many famous names, Pitanguy always maintained great discretion about the identities of his guests.
However, over the years, various reports have mentioned figures such as Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Jimmy Carter, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Brigitte Bardot, Farah Pahlavi, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Ivana Trump as visitors to the island.
