Ponta dos Ganchos, Santa Catarina

Perfect for relaxing and escaping everyone under 18 years old. An idyllic spot for romance. Even better than a private island – Ponta dos Ganchos is a private peninsula.

Children at play make one of the world’s happiest sounds, especially if a swimming pool is involved. But for romantic moments – or just for sheer, uninterrupted peace and relaxation – the absence of anyone under 18 years old is sublime. You can enjoy the magnificent, panoramic views from the private plunge pool on the terrace of your bungalow, dine romantically in an elegant restaurant, and wander in wonder along nature trails through a natural forest without scaring the wildlife.

Specify a stay at Ponta dos Ganchos during your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Brazil and you’ll also be able to play tennis on a seafront court, go island hopping and scuba diving, visit picturesque local fishing villages and meet the descendants of the first Azorean settlers of the Santa Catalina coastline.
