Plan around Rio traffic: Friday arrivals and Sunday departures add 1–2 hours. Mid-week arrivals are the smoothest.

Rental Car

A rental car is not necessary if you stay in central Búzios — the property and all major attractions are walkable. However, having a car opens up the outer peninsula beaches on your own schedule.

The upside

Free secure parking for 2 vehicles inside the gated complex. No parking fees ever.

Worth knowing

Downtown Búzios parking is very limited in high season. Most guests find they park on arrival and don't move the car until departure.
