Those dreaming of an exclusive luxury escape need look no further than Ponta dos Ganchos in southern Brazil. Encircled by Santa Catalina's natural splendor, this Relais & Chateaux property features just twenty rustic and chic bungalows. Slip into the hammock on your verandah and gaze at the sea, or socialize over caipirinhas at Cantinho da Veleza. You can also savor a massage in a private pavilion at the one and only Dior SPA, or an unforgettable meal that unites Brazilian ingredients with international haute cuisine.

Strongly recommended. Beautiful nature, awesome team and hotel infrastructure even with a cold and rainny weather. We stayed at the Villa with sea view. Amazing gastronomic experience.

I went to this hotel to have a break from work and enjoy a few days reading. I had such a great time even with a bad weather. Meaning there is so much to do and no way to get bored. Doing nothing is also great there. Nice views everywhere and a great Spa. I reccomend the fully hosted rate for a complete experience. Other great points: the food is amazing! The private hot tubs are always super hot (as they may) and service is attentive. I want to come every year from now on.

This place is amazing. The location is secluded and private and quiet. With spectacular views and ambiance. The food is Michelin-level if it hasn't been rated yet. The quality and variety and flavors are top notch. The service is attentive without being intrusive, anticipating needs and remembering likes/dislikes. They are very well trained professional staff with a clear goal of making the guest enjoy his/her visit. I would compare it to Four Seasons Manele Bay (Hawaii, USA).

Truly an outstanding experience! My husband and I stayed in an Esmerelda villa and it was gorgeous, the service was perfect, food and wine top-notch. It was just a gorgeous relaxing and calm resort where every need is cared for without it feeling like effort. We were in Sao Paulo for business and wanted to get away for a few days but didnt think Rio would be relaxing, so we choose Awasi, very very smart choice. I would go back in an instant.
