A secluded sanctuary tucked into the Atlantic Rainforest of Southern Brazil. It is a masterclass in "low-impact, high-emotion" travel, where each standalone villa comes with its own private 4x4 vehicle and a dedicated, expert guide for entirely bespoke exploration.

A typical Brazilian beach resort or a communal eco-lodge. There are no schedules, no group tours, and no "buffet hours." This is the ultimate introverted luxury—a place where the jungle is your private playground.

Awasi has a knack for finding the "last quiet places" on earth, and they’ve done it again in the lush, mist-covered hills of Santa Catarina. While most travelers to the region head for the coast, Awasi draws you inland to the Mata Atlântica. The architecture is a love letter to the forest—think elevated wooden structures that "float" above the ferns, floor-to-ceiling glass, and private plunge pools that make you feel like you're swimming in the canopy. Because every guest has their own guide, the experience is radically personalized: one day you’re trekking to hidden waterfalls, the next you’re visiting local honey producers or tracking endemic birdlife, all without seeing another soul.

You’ve already done the Amazon and want something deeper and more private. You value the "Awasi Way"—total autonomy. You want to wake up to the sound of howler monkeys, spend the day exploring the dramatic canyons of the Aparados da Serra, and return to a fireplace and a bottle of Brazilian sparkling wine curated just for you.

Sitting on your deck at dawn as the "sea of clouds" rolls through the valley below, realizing the only thing on your itinerary today is whatever you and your guide dream up over breakfast.

The Main Lodge: An intimate, open-air space where the "Relais & Châteaux" DNA shines. The menu is hyper-local, focusing on high-altitude fruits, pine nuts (pinhão), and river trout.

The Jungle Bar: A sophisticated, dimly lit nook for artisanal cachaça tastings and cocktails infused with rainforest botanicals.
