ABOUT PONTA DOS GANCHOS - in their own words:
An exclusive resort...the point of equilibrium is in Ganchos, an arrowhead pointed at the sea, surrounded by green and bathed by sun. The Atlantic rainforest hugs the emerald coast to form a unique setting, a tiny beach hidden between three small islands, a true paradise for a maximum of 20 couples. A one-off sensory experience, unforgettable for those in search of privacy and wellbeing. A place to hdeaway, to disappear, a place to find oneself, to rediscover oneself.
|
LOCATION: Located in the south of Brasil, near Florianapolis, in the state of Santa Catarina. From Florianapolis airport, it is a scenic drive of about 50 minutes. |
DINING:
Restaurant:
The resort tariffs include breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meals are not limited by time, as each guest chooses when he or she eats, with the restaurant doors only closing when the last guest has gone to sleep. The lunch menu is varied and carefully elaborated to emphasise the local dishes of the Catarinense (state) coast, fresh prawns, shrimps and the famous Catarinense oysters. At night the restaurant turns into a more sophisticated environment but by no means formal, where the chef toasts our guests with the very best of international cuisine, presenting different dishes and combinati-ons every day.Evening meal on the Island:
On one of the islands in front of the beach is a small gazebo where a special evening meal can be served for just one couple per night. The couple can exclusively enjoy the island for that night with one waiter entirely at their disposal.BAR & LOUNGE:
The resorts bars offer the best and most varied drinks, from spring water and natural juices to whiskies, cognacs, national and imported beers, champagnes, and a wine list featuring over 150 labels along with a selection of the best Cuban cigars for those enthusiasts.
