Ponta dos Ganchos Resort
Exclusive all-inclusive resort on a private peninsula near Florianopolis features individual bungalows with ocean views. Perfect for romantic getaways with pristine beaches, gourmet dining, and personalized service in a secluded setting.
Ponta dos Ganchos Resort, now operating under the Awasi brand as Awasi Santa Catarina, occupies a secluded private peninsula at Governador Celso Ramos in Santa Catarina state, approximately one hour by road from Florianópolis International Airport. The property sits where Brazil's subtropical Atlantic Forest meets the crystalline waters of the South Atlantic, a combination of intact native vegetation and pristine ocean frontage that is exceptionally rare on Brazil's developed coastline. The setting is one of the most spectacular available from any Brazilian resort: no visible development, no public roads, and no neighboring structures interrupt the panorama from the peninsula's tip. Accommodation consists entirely of individual bungalows and villas positioned to maximize ocean views and seclusion. Each bungalow features a generous veranda with private plunge pool or hot tub, king-sized beds, and bathrooms crafted with natural stone, hardwood, and woven textiles drawn from Santa Catarina's artisan tradition. The all-inclusive pricing structure covers gourmet meals, premium beverages, non-motorized water sports, guided nature excursions, and personalized butler service throughout the stay. Dining is a highlight: the main restaurant produces coastal Brazilian cuisine with a strong emphasis on freshly caught Atlantic seafood and organic produce sourced from regional producers, paired with an international and Brazilian wine cellar. A dedicated spa offers couples' treatments, thermal pools, and body treatments incorporating botanical extracts from the surrounding Atlantic Forest. The property is exclusively adults-only and limits total occupancy so that the peninsula never feels crowded or impersonal. Guided excursions from the resort include sailing, snorkeling at the Arvoredo Marine Reserve (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), deep-sea fishing, Atlantic Forest hiking, and visits to traditional fishing villages on the mainland coast. Service is highly personalized, with private guides and dedicated butler arrangements forming the core of the guest experience.
