Where wild Brazilian jungle meets serene sandy beaches.
Tucked away on a private peninsula, Awasi Santa Catarina offers creature comforts and sweeping ocean views away from the crowds, with direct access to amazing beaches, forest trails, and secluded bays.
Guests can enjoy a full range of activities from boat trips, kayaking and paddleboarding, to spa treatments and private dining, still just an hour’s drive from the restaurants, markets, and cultural sights of Florianópolis.
What we love about Awasi Santa Catarina
- 25 private villas built into the hillside with spectacular views over the jungle canopy to the sea beyond
- Each villa has a sea view and wooden decks, some rooms also have private plunge pools and in-room saunas
- Relaxed dining schedules give guests total freedom of choice over when and where to eat – whether at the Vezela restaurant by the beach, a private picnic on the hotel grounds, or even an intimate dinner on the hotel’s private island
- Activities include canoeing, bird watching, jungle walks, fishing, snorkelling and more
- The Awasi team are deeply invested in environmental sustainability. Organic fertilises the garden, bungalows are conciously designed, and the property is devoted to reforestation of the surrounding area
Look no further than from your private balcony for inspiration on how to fill your days.
Start with an early morning yoga session on the deck while the world wakes up around you, then head down to the Espaco das Bateiras for breakfast overlooking the neighbouring bay with its gently bobbing fishing boats.
After, choose between pure relaxation and exploration. Unwind in the plunge pools and spa, followed with a caipirinha on the beach. Or spend an action-packed day diving and snorkelling from the deck of a private yacht. If you’d prefer a land-based adventure, make use of the property’s tennis court or head out on a spectacular local hike.
