How to Get to Awasi Santa Catarina, Brazil
Brazil’s southern coast is less traveled than the country’s north — and that is precisely part of its appeal. Awasi Santa Catarina sits on a quiet peninsula in Governador Celso Ramos, roughly 57 kilometers north of Florianópolis. Getting here is straightforward: one flight into Florianópolis, and Awasi takes care of everything from there.
Flying to Florianópolis
The gateway to Awasi Santa Catarina is Florianópolis Hercílio Luz International Airport (FLN), served by Brazil’s main domestic carriers, LATAM, GOL, and Azul, with frequent connections from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
For international travelers, FLN offers direct services from Lisbon (TAP Portugal), Buenos Aires (Aerolíneas Argentinas, GOL, JetSmart, and Flybondi), and Panama City (Copa Airlines). Guests arriving from North America, Europe, or elsewhere in the world typically connect through São Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) or Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão Airport (GIG) before the short final leg south.

From FLN, Awasi’s private transfer covers the 57 kilometers to the lodge in approximately 50 minutes, following the coast north through Santa Catarina’s Atlantic landscape before arriving at the Ganchos de Fora peninsula. It is a quiet, unhurried introduction to the region.
