- There are 25 wood-and-stone villas spread over the hillside, all with sea views; some have a private pool, sauna or outdoor tub.
- Awasi runs a fully hosted model: meals and experiences are included, and each villa has its own private guide and 4×4 for tailor-made outings such as trails, secret beaches by boat and Azorean villages.
- The area is known for oyster farming, and Florianópolis international airport is about 40 km away in a straight line.

The helicopter leg
- For the last leg, twin-engine executive helicopters are recommended: the Airbus H145, for 6 to 8 passengers with a large rear baggage hold, or the AgustaWestland A109E Power, fast and with a VIP cabin.
- Landing at the resort’s helipad requires prior authorisation from the management, which the operator requests together with an arrival time agreed with the Awasi team.
- The flight is visual, so arrival is planned in daylight; families travel with children and luggage on the same flight.
- During the stay, the helicopter can take you to dinner in Florianópolis, to Balneário Camboriú or over the Emerald Coast.
How the price is set
The price is worked out case by case: jet model, aircraft positioning, one-way or return, airport and overflight fees, the helicopter leg and extra services. On intercontinental routes, empty legs (repositioning flights) can lower the cost when dates match.
