Location & Climate

In Ilha Grande, UV rises from 6 in June to 11 in January, with peak tanning months being January, February, March, November, December. The strongest UV occurs during the southern hemisphere summer months.

Climates vary dramatically across the region. Cities at higher altitudes receive stronger UV per unit — if you are above 1,000 m, reduce session time by 10-15% compared to sea-level cities.

Beach and coastal destinations benefit from cooling sea breezes, but UV reflected from water and sand can increase your total exposure by up to 25%. Apply sunscreen more frequently and protect your eyes.

In this tropical location, SPF 50+ broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential year-round. Reapply every 60-90 minutes, especially after swimming or sweating.

Tanning Tips

UV levels in Ilha Grande are high year-round due to its tropical location. Always wear SPF 30+ and limit initial sessions to 15-20 minutes.
