Awasi Santa Catarina, an exclusive hideaway nestled between Brazil’s lush Atlantic rainforest and the turquoise waters of the Emerald Coast, has unveiled Active Wellness & Longevity, an innovative wellbeing concept designed to deliver measurable health benefits far beyond a conventional spa retreat. The launch represents the next phase of the resort’s wellness evolution following the complete refurbishment of its Wellness Pavilion and the introduction of a unique partnership with La Mer, the luxury skincare brand’s only hotel collaboration in Brazil.

The new wellness concept centres on five customised pathways: Metabolic Reset & Energy, Gut Health, Sleep & Stress Recovery, Women’s Health & Hormonal Balance, and Longevity Essentials. Each programme blends science-backed movement, personalised nutrition, and restorative therapies within Awasi’s highly tailored hospitality model. Rather than following a structured group retreat, every experience is individually crafted, incorporating private guiding services, curated activities, wellness treatments, and purpose-driven dining throughout the guest’s stay.

Focused on enhancing energy levels, promoting restful sleep, and reducing the impact of stress, each journey begins with personalised planning before arrival and continues after departure through practical lifestyle recommendations designed to support long-term wellbeing.

A PERSONALISED APPROACH TO WELLNESS

At Awasi Santa Catarina, wellbeing revolves entirely around individual needs rather than fixed schedules or communal programmes. Guests enjoy a fully customised experience supported by a dedicated private guide and exclusive four-wheel-drive vehicle. Accommodation, dining, excursions, and wellness activities are seamlessly integrated into one all-inclusive experience.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of Brazil’s Emerald Coast, the retreat offers an environment that encourages meaningful restoration without imposing strict routines. Built on the core principles of movement, recovery, and education, each stay is designed to leave guests feeling refreshed while equipping them with sustainable habits for everyday life.

FIVE TAILORED WELLNESS JOURNEYS

Available as three-day, four-day, enhanced sleep-focused, or fully bespoke experiences, the new programmes combine nutrition, movement, and recovery in personalised formats designed to create lasting benefits. The wellness pathways were developed with guidance from Dr. Luísa Comerlato, a specialist in metabolism, longevity, and Lifestyle Medicine, whose expertise includes advanced studies in evidence-based wellbeing.

Metabolic Reset & Energy

This pathway focuses on improving metabolic efficiency and maintaining consistent energy levels. Guests follow nutrient-rich, lower-glycaemic meal plans while participating in endurance-based activities such as hiking, surfing, snorkelling, and Zone 2 cardiovascular training. Recovery techniques including contrast therapy, massage treatments, and yoga nidra sessions help support adaptation, restoration, and sustained vitality.

Gut Health

Created to support digestive health, immunity, and overall balance, this programme combines anti-inflammatory nutrition with restorative wellness practices. Menus feature fermented foods, prebiotic-rich vegetables, and ingredients selected to nurture gut microbiome health. Activities such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, yoga, and reflexology complement the nutritional approach by promoting circulation, digestion, and physical regulation.

Sleep & Stress Recovery

Designed for guests experiencing high stress levels or poor sleep quality, this pathway focuses on restoring natural rhythms through circadian-friendly dining, mindfulness practices, breathing techniques, meditation, and evening recovery rituals. Gentle coastal activities including paddleboarding, kayaking, and guided hikes help calm the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and encourage balanced energy patterns.

Women’s Health & Hormonal Balance

This dedicated programme supports women through various stages of life with a holistic approach that combines protein-focused nutrition, strength-building exercise, yoga, and restorative therapies. The pathway aims to promote hormonal harmony, metabolic wellbeing, bone strength, and long-term vitality through carefully tailored interventions.

Longevity Essentials

Focused on the foundations of healthy ageing, this pathway integrates strength training, aerobic exercise, surfing, sauna sessions, breathwork, sleep optimisation practices, and anti-inflammatory nutrition. The goal is to create a practical and sustainable framework that supports resilience, metabolic health, and overall longevity.

EXCLUSIVE LA MER WELLNESS EXPERIENCES

Supporting the launch of Active Wellness & Longevity, Awasi Santa Catarina has introduced a selection of treatments developed in partnership with La Mer at its newly redesigned Wellness Pavilion. The collaboration represents the renowned skincare brand’s only hotel partnership in Brazil.

Featured experiences include The Bespoke Facial, a personalised 60-minute treatment tailored to sculpt, soothe, and enhance skin radiance, as well as the Eye & Scalp Treatment, designed to release tension, stimulate circulation, and revitalise the skin. Through this partnership, guests gain access to luxury skincare experiences in one of Brazil’s most secluded and sophisticated hospitality destinations.

LOCATION AND PROGRAMME DETAILS

Awasi Santa Catarina is situated in Governador Celso Ramos along Brazil’s southern coastline, approximately one hour from Florianópolis International Airport. The Active Wellness & Longevity experiences are offered within the resort’s fully hosted stay model, allowing guests to select dedicated three-day and four-day pathways, sleep-focused enhancements, or entirely customised wellness journeys aligned with their personal objectives.
