The air in Fernando de Noronha, an island in the archipelago of the same name, 350km off the coast of Brazil, is the purest in the world after that in the Arctic. It is a marine sanctuary ringed by crystal-white sand, and is a haven for turtles. Only 480 visitors are allowed on the island at a time. Volunteer at Tamar Turtle Protection Project to observe turtles laying their eggs on the beach at night, and help monitor the baby turtles going out to sea. Stay at Maravilha, a contemporary pousada of eight enchanting wooden bungalows scattered along a rugged hillside.
Dehouche offers seven nights at Maravilha, including all flights, a day trip on a private schooner and beach-buggy use, from £2,789 (00 55 21 251 23895; www.dehouche.com)
