Awasi Santa Catarina offers private villas tucked into the Atlantic forest of southern Brazil, close to the coast. Like every Awasi, it pairs each villa with its own private guide and vehicle, so the days are planned entirely around you.

Seclusion with your own guide and a plan built around you.

Where you’ll be

The lodge sits in the forested hills of Santa Catarina state, close to quiet beaches and lagoons. In season, southern right whales come close to the shore along this coast.
