Why Florianópolis

Down in Brazil's south, 'Floripa' wraps city life around an island of more than forty beaches — surf breaks and calm bays, a lagoon at its heart, dunes, trails and some of the country's freshest seafood.

We tailor it to your kind of day: surf and sand, the Lagoa's restaurants and nightlife, or quiet coves and coastal walks.

  • Lagoa da ConceiçãoThe island's social heart — water sports, dining and nightlife.
