Soulrebel Rio is a rare "city sanctuary" that provides a 100% vegan lifestyle in the heart of one of South America's most iconic cities. Housed in a beautifully restored 1937 villa, the retreat is located at the top of a hill, offering dramatic views of the Rio skyline and the ocean. The standout feature is the peaceful jungle setting; despite being in a major city, you are surrounded by the wildlife of the Tijuca rainforest, with toucans and monkeys frequently visiting the garden.

The hosts are passionate about sustainable living and provide a completely plant-based breakfast every morning, alongside optional vegan cooking classes and yoga sessions. It’s the perfect base for travelers who want to explore Rio’s famous sights like Christ the Redeemer (just 4 miles away) but return to a quiet, ethical haven with a saltwater pool and a wellness deck. This is a social, warm stay that makes the vegan lifestyle feel vibrant and effortless in a country traditionally known for its meat-heavy cuisine.
