Santa Catarina (SC)
The Sophisticated Mosaic.
Where the high-tech skyline of the coast meets the silent, frosty peaks of the Serra, Santa Catarina reveals a landscape of extraordinary order and beauty. This is a state of "Multifaceted Luxury"—a land where you can wake up in a world-class skyscraper in Balneário Camboriú, lunch at a German-heritage chalet in the Vale Europeu, and watch the sunset from a private island retreat. In 2026, Santa Catarina stands as Brazil’s safest and most diverse destination, offering a seamless blend of first-world infrastructure and raw, Atlantic majesty.
The Island of Magic: Florianópolis
The state capital remains a global beacon for high-end travelers, ranked as one of the most reserved destinations for 2026. At Brasilis.Travel, we bypass the popular beaches to offer the "Private Floripa." Experience sunrise at the Hercílio Luz Bridge from a private yacht, or explore the historic Azorean charm of Santo Antônio de Lisboa with a private curator. We stay at elite beachfront villas in Jurerê Internacional or the secluded Awasi Santa Catarina (formerly Ponta dos Ganchos), which has entered a new era of fully-hosted, personalized luxury.
The Sky-High Glamour: Balneário Camboriú & Itajaí
Home to the most expensive square meter in Brazil and future home to the Senna Tower—potentially the world's tallest residential building—Balneário is the epicenter of metropolitan luxury. We arrange private helicopter transfers between the luxury towers and organize private yacht charters departing from the Marina Itajaí. Discover the nearby Praia Brava, where the international jet set gathers at sophisticated beach clubs and boutique hotels like Brava Mundo.
The Frozen Heart: Serra Catarinense
To the south, the landscape rises into the coldest reaches of Brazil. Urupema and São Joaquim offer a "Winter Luxury" experience unique to the tropics. We curate stays at high-altitude resorts and eco-lodges like Morada dos Canyons, where you can watch the mist roll over the Serra do Rio do Rastro from your private heated pool. Enjoy private tastings of "High-Altitude Wines," a 2026 trend where the cold climate produces world-class labels.
The European Pulse: Vale do Itajaí
Inland, the "Vale Europeu" offers a deep dive into German and Italian heritage. Blumenau and Pomerode provide a landscape of half-timbered architecture and meticulous gardens. We arrange private "Heritage & Gastronomy" tours, visiting artisanal workshops and staying at the Fazzenda Park Resort, a benchmark for high-end rural leisure. In 2026, we focus on the "Slow Travel" movement in this region, connecting you to nature and local traditions away from the tourist crowds.
🏄 Island of Magic
Florianópolis, the capital, is an island with 42 beaches, ranging from the calm waters of Daniela to the surfing paradise of Joaquina. The state also features the "Serra do Rio do Rastro," a winding mountain road with breathtaking hairpin turns and views. In the winter, the cities of Lages and São Joaquim are among the few places in Brazil where it occasionally snows, attracting tourists seeking cozy fires and mountain scenery.
🥨 European Heritage
The coast of Santa Catarina is the oyster capital of Brazil, producing fresh, world-class bivalves in Florianópolis. Inland, the German heritage brings "Eisbein" (pork knuckle) and "Kassler" to the table, especially during the famous Oktoberfest in Blumenau. The state also boasts a strong tradition of artisanal cheeses and "Pinhão" dishes in the colder mountain regions, where Italian and German immigrants settled in the 19th century.
