Florianópolis

Luxury Florianópolis Travel

If you want a beach escape without going off-grid, point your compass to glitzy Florianópolis, located in southern Brazil on Santa Catarina Island. Well connected to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, you don’t have to forfeit any amenities or modern conveniences while vacationing here. If you’re looking for an exclusive, ultra-luxe escape, retreat to a bungalow at Ponta dos Ganchos, one of the best hotels in the country.  

Santa Catarina Island is hugged by more than 40 beaches, each with their own personality and standout scenery. Hike to untouched golden beaches where ocean waves swell upon a craggy coast or dip into a surf scene. Offshore, you’ll bear witness to spectacular sunsets and possibly spy dolphins and whales parading by. Beaches aside, Florianópolis pleases with its colonial charm, nightlife, culture, and gastronomy. Thanks to its coastal proximity, seafood is pulled fresh from the ocean, and dishes such as oysters, fish, and octopus are imbued with Portuguese culinary influences.
