Tucked away on a private peninsula just over an hour from Florianopolis, Ponta dos Ganchos is a highlight of Brazil’s Emerald Coast. 25 private villas scatter the verdant hillside, complete with saunas and plunge pools overlooking the jungle canopy and the sea beyond. Days can be filled with boat trips, yacht excursions, diving, paddle boarding, hiking trails, yoga, treatments at the Sisley Spa and tennis, or sipping caipirinhas at the hotel’s white sand beach and private island.
