Island Lifestyle Capital & Luxury Coastal Market
Santa Catarina combines a high quality of life with one of Brazil’s most diverse coastal property markets. Florianópolis, the state capital and its most internationally recognised property market, offers an exceptional island lifestyle, while Balneário Camboriú, Itapema and Bombinhas provide some of Southern Brazil’s most dynamic coastal markets.
Island Living With Limited Supply
Florianópolis offers a unique combination of beaches, nature and urban infrastructure across a relatively constrained island environment. Limited land availability, strong lifestyle demand and continued population growth support long-term interest in well-located coastal property.
One of Brazil’s Leading Luxury Coastal Markets
Santa Catarina has developed into one of Brazil’s strongest markets for high-end coastal real estate. Balneário Camboriú, Jurerê and other premium destinations attract affluent Brazilian buyers alongside growing international demand for luxury apartments, beachfront residences and second homes.
Strong Lifestyle & Economic Fundamentals
The region combines tourism and second-home demand with a growing technology, services and entrepreneurial economy. Florianópolis attracts professionals and entrepreneurs seeking quality of life, while established coastal destinations provide strong rental and investment opportunities.

Why International Buyers Work With Us in Santa Catarina
The Best Santa Catarina Properties Are Never Listed
In Florianópolis and along Santa Catarina’s premium coastline, desirable properties often circulate through local brokers, developers, private networks and direct owner relationships. This is particularly relevant for luxury residences, beachfront properties and new developments in areas such as Jurerê, Cacupé, Itapema and Balneário Camboriú.
Our local network helps international buyers access opportunities beyond the major property portals, including properties and developments that may never be publicly advertised.
Santa Catarina Property Prices Are Negotiable
Strong demand and rapid development have pushed prices higher across Florianópolis and the Santa Catarina coast, but asking prices do not always reflect achievable transaction values. In 2026, buyers are becoming more selective, particularly in the luxury segment.
We assess comparable properties, development quality, location and seller motivation before negotiating directly with sellers and agents to secure the right property at the right price.

What International Buyers Ask Us Most
Which Santa Catarina areas are best for an international buyer?
It depends on your objectives. Jurerê Internacional for luxury beachfront living and rental demand; Lagoa da Conceição and Campeche for island lifestyle; Cacupé for privacy and waterfront living; and Balneário Camboriú and Itapema for high-rise luxury developments and investment opportunities. We match the area to your budget, lifestyle and investment strategy.
What’s the typical Florianópolis and Santa Catarina prime-district price per m² in 2026?
Prices vary significantly by location and property type. Jurerê Internacional can reach R$20,000–26,000 per m², while Campeche and Lagoa da Conceição generally offer lower entry points. Premium developments in Balneário Camboriú and Itapema can also command prices well above their respective market averages.
What’s the rental yield outlook in Florianópolis?
Santa Catarina offers a wide range of rental strategies, from stable long-term income in Florianópolis to higher-yield seasonal rentals in destinations such as Balneário Camboriú, Itapema and Bombinhas. As a benchmark, residential properties in Florianópolis currently generate around 5.5% gross annual yield on long-term rentals, while well-positioned short-term properties in major coastal markets can achieve higher gross returns. Jurerê Internacional tends to command premium rental rates but also higher property prices, making its yield more dependent on the individual property. Actual returns vary significantly by location, property type, purchase price, occupancy and management strategy.
Can foreigners buy property in Brazil without residency?
Yes. Foreigners can generally purchase urban residential property in Brazil without becoming Brazilian residents. A CPF is required for foreigners who own or intend to own registered assets such as real estate. Non-residents can also transfer funds from abroad to complete a purchase. Certain restrictions apply to specific categories such as rural, coastal and other specially regulated land.
What additional costs should I budget for when buying in Santa Catarina?
Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for ITBI, notary and registration fees, legal due diligence and potentially financing or brokerage-related costs. As a general rule, allowing around 5–8% on top of the purchase price provides a reasonable initial budget, although the exact amount depends on the transaction.
