One of the most known resorts of Brazil, Armação dos Búzios or just Buzios, is a peninsula surrounded by 8km of islands and beaches of all styles.
What already was a small fishing town, is currently a cozy place, where most shops are sophisticated and rustic. Submitted to the world by the muse Brigitte Bardot, that after passing through the city in the 60's, drew attention of artists and tourists all around the world.

Golf in Buzios
Designed by Pete and Perry Dye, from Dye Designs in Colorado, and co-ordinated by Dom Eudes de Orleans e Bragança, the Búzios Golf Club has over 1,000,000 m2 of green areas with valleys and hills bordering the lakes with 18 holes.
Búzios Jazz & Blues
The high season for music is actually during the summer vacation in January and February, when Buzios bursts of visitors and action. During July, however, it is a nice change to visit this "Festival". It is less for the bands who are playing but for the relaxing ambience for your weekend.
Film Festival
Brigitte Bardot is the big name in Buzios’ history. After all, she made it famous back in the sixties, turning the sleepy fishermen’s town into a sparkling meeting point of Brazil’s Jeunesse Dorée. The Film Festival is cosy and you can call it already traditional.
