Loft Barra da Tijuca - Ilha Pura - Rock in Rio, Riocentro
Infinity pool and hot tub near Riocentro
About this hotel
The infinity pool and hot tub sit within the Ilha Pura complex, built for the 2016 Olympics and now a residential development close to Riocentro and the Rock in Rio festival grounds. Spa facilities and a sauna run alongside the pool deck, and a tennis court fills out the amenity list for longer stays. The loft itself is a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with mountain views, a fully equipped kitchen and a private entrance, geared toward independent stays rather than hotel service. Nine kilometres from Jacarepaguá Airport, this suits event-driven trips to Riocentro or the festival grounds more than beach-first itineraries, with Maracanã Stadium a further 28 kilometres out for anyone extending the visit toward central Rio.

Our take
This suits travellers in town for Riocentro events or Rock in Rio who want an infinity pool and hot tub without a hotel price tag, given the Ilha Pura complex's proximity to the festival grounds. The full kitchen supports longer independent stays. Anyone wanting to be near Copacabana or Ipanema should note the real distance, since this location is built around Barra's event venues rather than the classic beach strip.
- ✓Book well ahead during Rock in Rio dates, the loft sells out fast for festival weeks.
- ✓Use the tennis court in the early morning before the day heats up.
- ✓Bring your own groceries for the full kitchen, options thin out around the complex.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here for a Riocentro event or Rock in Rio find the infinity pool and hot tub a genuine bonus rather than the main draw, since the location's real value is proximity to the festival grounds. The spa facilities and tennis court fill out downtime between event days, and the full kitchen keeps costs down on a longer stay. It works best as an event-driven base rather than a classic beach holiday pick.
