Ponta dos Ganchos

Located only 25 miles (40 km) from the state capital of Florianópolis, the district of Governador Celso Ramos is a region immersed in history and tradition. A small fishing village whose inhabitants are descendents of the first immigrants from the Azores; the area represents a slice of the old-fashioned Brazil of colonial times, where the most important elements of life are traditional activities such as fishing, embroidery and oyster and mussel farming.

Ponta dos Ganchos Exclusive Resort is located on a privately-owned peninsula, surrounded by the exuberant Emerald Coast. Known as one of the most exclusive beach resorts in Brazil, the property enjoys direct flights from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires. Here the waters of the Emerald coast meet the lush rainforest vegetation in a dazzling display of colour and light. 25-sophisticated and charming bungalows lay in perfect harmony with the breathtaking scenery

This privileged location guarantees guests total privacy, while the luxurious bungalows provide them with the rest and comfort they seek. The Relais & Chateaux seal is a testament to the impeccable facilities, the exquisite flavours of the cuisine and the quality of the services.

Ponta dos Ganchos offers a state-of-the-art fitness centre, cinema, business centre, restaurant, bar, lounge, games room, oceanfront tennis court, heated swimming pool, massage gazebos, SPA and nature trails. In close proximity to the resort, one can also experince Arvoredo Island, the best site for scuba diving in South Brazil. Addition boat trips include Anhatomirim Island and the Baía dos Golfinhos (Bay of Dophines).
