Club Med Rio das Pedras at a glance

Club Med Rio das Pedras is a 35-hectare Premium resort in Mangaratiba, on the Costa Verde of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. It stretches between the primary rainforest of the Mata Atlântica, a designated biosphere reserve, and a fine sandy beach, with 379 rooms and an Exclusive Collection area, La Réserve, for guests who want suites and an infinity pool. People come for the included water skiing and wakeboarding, for the nature all around and for excursions to Ilha Grande and Paraty. Open almost all year, it welcomes holiday guests from December 21, 2026. The package includes accommodation, meals, the bar, activities and clubs for ages 4 to 17.

When is Club Med Rio das Pedras open?

The resort stays open almost all year, from September 2026 to the end of 2027, with a few short maintenance breaks: December 8 to 19, 2026, April 4 to 15, 2027 and October 10 to 21, 2027. It therefore reopens just in time for the holidays, on December 21, and it is open all winter, during Quebec spring break in early March and at Easter, on March 28, 2027. In Brazil, the southern summer is then in full swing.

How do you get to Club Med Rio das Pedras from Quebec?

You fly from Montreal or Quebec City to Rio de Janeiro, with a connection. On arrival, two airports serve the resort: Galeão, 125 km away, and Santos Dumont, 130 km away. Allow about 2 hours 30 minutes by road heading west, along a jagged coast where the forest runs down to the sea. Your advisor books flights and the transfer with the package, and can add two or three nights in Rio before or after the resort.

What is the resort like?

The resort covers 35 hectares in the curve of a bay, with the Mata Atlântica forest as a backdrop and the beach in front. The buildings leave plenty of room for vegetation, and colourful forest birds come right into the garden trees. The resort holds Green Globe Platinum certification, the highest level of this environmental program. With 379 rooms and just over 1,200 beds, it stays lively while keeping its close bond with nature.

What is La Réserve, the Exclusive Collection area?

La Réserve is a more intimate area within the resort. Its guests stay in suites and enjoy a private infinity pool, personalized concierge service and access to the Jangada restaurant. The whole resort stays within reach, with its sports and shows, and you return in the evening to a quieter corner. It is the option we suggest to honeymooners and to travellers who enjoy tailored service.

Which activities are included in the package?

Water skiing and wakeboarding, with group lessons, are the resort's great signature, on a calm bay that suits them perfectly. Add kayaking, archery, tennis, beach tennis, aqua fitness, volleyball and handball, plus water games for children. In the evening, the team puts on shows. Meals, snacks and bar drinks are included, from morning until late at night.

Is the resort good for families?

Yes, from age 2. Petit Club Med cares for 2- and 3-year-olds, at extra cost, by reservation. Mini Club Med+ then welcomes ages 4 to 10, and the Teens club brings together ages 11 to 17, both included in the package. Babies are welcome with their parents, since the resort welcomes children of all ages. Superior Family rooms, some of them duplexes, sleep up to five.

Which room should you choose at Club Med Rio das Pedras?

The Superior room, 27 m², sleeps up to three. The Superior Family room, 37 m², sleeps up to five and also comes as a duplex, handy for giving parents their own floor. You can choose the sea side or the garden side, in the centre of the resort, closer to the activities. The resort also offers Deluxe rooms and suites, in addition to those in La Réserve. If you want to hear the sea in the morning, tell your advisor.

What is there to do around the resort?

The port of Mangaratiba is 15 km away, and boats leave from there for Ilha Grande, a forest-covered, car-free island where Lopes Mendes beach draws lovers of white sand. Paraty, 137 km away, is a colonial town with cobblestone streets surrounded by some 25 beaches. Angra dos Reis is 40 km away, or 45 minutes by road, with its hundreds of islands. And Rio de Janeiro makes for a full day trip, from Sugarloaf Mountain to Corcovado.

What is the best season to go?

The seasons are flipped compared with Quebec. The southern summer, from December to March, is hot and humid, with tropical showers that are often brief in the late afternoon; the sea reaches about 26°C in February. From June to August, the local winter is mild and drier, with averages around 18 to 20°C and clear light, ideal for hiking and boat excursions.
