Location from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
A private tropical island off the coast of Brazil — Carlisle's gift to Esme and the location of Edward and Bella's honeymoon, where everything changes.
Isle Esme is Carlisle's romantic gift to Esme, purchased decades ago when a private island off Rio de Janeiro was the kind of thing an immortal doctor with centuries of compound interest could manage. It's paradise in the literal sense — isolated, beautiful, warm. Edward brings Bella here for their honeymoon, and it's where their marriage is consummated, where Bella becomes pregnant with Renesmee, and where the impossible biology of a human-vampire hybrid pregnancy first becomes apparent. The island shifts from honeymoon paradise to medical crisis in a matter of days. The house that was meant for romance becomes a place of fear as Bella's body deteriorates under the strain of carrying a half-vampire child. The cleaning crew from Rio is the only human contact, and they start leaving cross-shaped talismans at the door. Isle Esme is the Twilight series' Eden — beautiful, brief, and followed by a fall.
White sand beaches fringed by palm trees, warm turquoise water so clear you can see the bottom twenty feet down. A single house sits among the trees — elegant but not ostentatious, with open-air rooms, a massive bed, and windows that let the ocean breeze through. The jungle interior of the island is dense and green. At night, the stars are overwhelming — no light pollution for hundreds of miles.
