Tropical brazilian beaches: multi-destination travel
The best Brazilian beaches, if by that we mean almost constant warm waters and sunny days, picturesque fishing villages, eco-locations largely cut off from the outside or reserved tropical resorts, are in the Northeast.
Rio and many other Brazilian regions have exceptional beaches, but they are not typically tropical or all year round beaches.
The major Brazilian locations for tropical beach resorts are Salvador da Bahia, Recife and Fortaleza. These cities have extraordinary beaches and are great hubs to other wonderful beaches, standing some miles away.
There are, however, other top tropical beach locations in the Brazilian Northeast, rather distant from these cities, such as Maceio, Ilheus, Itacare, Natal just to quote some examples.

Tropical beaches around big cities
If you want the animation and the opportunities of big cities, besides the tropical beach life, you should consider, before any other option, Salvador da Bahia. Salvador da Bahia breathes a special blending made of music, African roots and exotic cuisine.
Fortaleza and Recife aren't great first choices. However, these cities have, near them, great beaches that might be a good option.

Number of days for this Brazilian Travel Package
For multi-destination travel in the Northeast, stays of 3-4 days minimum in each destination is very common. This is not too much.
Whatever your option may be, you will have many opportunities for tours and trips around your destination or destinations. You don't have to confine your stay to the resort or the city you choose; you can and should travel around. It ends up depending on your preferences.
Air flights
Do not forget: round-trip air tickets can be cheaper than one-way ones. Returning to your arrival airport and first destination can be advantageous from a financial standpoint.
