Florianópolis — Traveler Guide
The best views in Florianópolis are reserved for those who know where to look — and the hotels in this guide have positioned themselves precisely where those views are most dramatic. Whether you're watching the city's lights come on from a floor-to-ceiling window, or taking your morning coffee on a terrace that overlooks the landscape with unobstructed clarity, these properties use their views as a core part of the experience. In Florianópolis, the view from your room is as carefully considered as the design of the room itself.

About This Guide
The views from Florianópolis's best hotel rooms are among the most compelling in Brazil — and the properties in this guide have been chosen specifically because they understand that a great view is not a feature but a defining quality of the entire stay. From the moment you arrive in your room, the view changes the way you relate to the city and to the experience of being there.
View hotels in Florianópolis span all price points, which is one of the encouraging discoveries in compiling this guide. Some of the most dramatic outlooks available in the city belong to properties that are not at the very top of the price range — the secret lies in location and room category rather than total spend. The guidance in each hotel entry below tells you exactly which room categories deliver the best views.
The quality of light in Florianópolis is particularly significant for view rooms — the city's position and climate create conditions where the view from your room changes dramatically through the day, from the soft morning light to the golden hour that makes even ordinary buildings look extraordinary. The best view rooms here face west or south-west for this reason, though each hotel entry specifies the optimal orientation.

Santinho Beach — North
The most complete resort in Santa Catarina, Costão do Santinho commands the spectacular Santinho Beach with a massive pool complex including a wave pool, a full golf course, seven restaurants, a world-class spa, and a 1km of private Atlantic beach. It's the most sophisticated all-inclusive resort in southern Brazil.
Jurerê Internacional
In the glamorous Jurerê Internacional neighbourhood — Brazil's most exclusive beach community — this resort offers direct access to the calm-water beach that hosts some of Brazil's most fashionable beach clubs. The pools, the restaurant, and the beach club service match the area's upscale character.
Lagoa da Conceição
A beautiful pousada on the shores of the Lagoa da Conceição — Florianópolis's most atmospheric neighbourhood of hill-climbing Azorean houses, independent cafés, and water sports — with rooms opening onto gardens and a pool facing the lagoon. The Azorean-influenced breakfast of oysters, chouriço, and queijo da ilha is exceptional.
Lagoa da Conceição
A gracious colonial-style pousada on the hillside above the lagoon with excellent breakfast, a pool, and rooms with lagoon views that represent some of the best value in the area. The owner's knowledge of the island's history, surf breaks, and hiking trails is shared freely at breakfast.
Praia Mole
A surf-focused pousada steps from the legendary Praia Mole beach, one of the most beautiful and consistently excellent surf breaks in southern Brazil. The basic but comfortable rooms, the communal barbecue terrace, and the partnership with the local surf school make it the natural choice for wave-obsessed travelers.
Centro
A reliable mid-market option in the city centre of Florianópolis for travelers using the island as a base for exploring all 42 beaches rather than staying at a single resort. Clean rooms, good breakfast, a pool, and the city's best transport connections to both the north and south of the island.
Daniela Beach
The Pernambuco brand's expansion into Santa Catarina brings its distinctive beach-hut luxury concept to Daniela Beach — a calm-water bay ideal for families — with upmarket bangalôs, a pool, a restaurant serving fresh oysters from the bay, and the brand's attentive service ethic.
A polished four-star business and leisure hotel in the centre with reliable service, a rooftop pool, comprehensive meeting facilities, and the Blue Tree brand's consistent quality that makes it a popular choice with Brazilian corporate travelers visiting Santa Catarina's thriving technology sector.

Common Questions
Never rely on 'request' — book the specific room category that includes the view (e.g., 'ocean view room', 'city view suite'). If in doubt, call the hotel directly to confirm which floors and room categories have unobstructed views. Some 'view rooms' have partial obstruction not visible in photos.
Not always. In some hotels, lower floors with direct pool or garden access offer better experiences than high floors with distance views. The key is matching the view type to what you actually want — not all high floors have spectacular panoramas.
For views and photography, absolutely. For serious swimming, a ground-level pool with more space is often preferable. The best rooftop pools combine a swim-up bar and infinity edge with a genuinely spectacular outlook.
Sunrise and sunset are almost universally the most dramatic, but the quality of view depends on orientation. East-facing rooms offer sunrise and morning light; west-facing rooms catch golden hour and sunset. Ask the hotel for orientation details before booking.
Many hotels with famous rooftop bars welcome non-guests, especially during off-peak hours. Call ahead or check the hotel website for walk-in policy. Some have minimum spend requirements; others operate first-come-first-served. The best views in a city often require no room booking at all.
