Eco Hotel Vila Fátima  

On the south side of Florianópolis at Morro das Pedras, this seaside hotel and retreat center sits between the ocean and Lagoa do Peri. You’re close to Armacao Beach and Matadeiro Beach, with Campeche Island and the Ribeirao da Ilha Eco Museum nearby. The property is about 15 km from the city center.

A leafy, peaceful spot born as a Jesuit retreat in 1956, the place mixes spiritual-retreat calm with simple hotel comforts. Rooms are warmly decorated and practical — 53 guestrooms with private balconies or patios and private bathrooms (showers, bidets, hair dryers). Expect bird song, the sound of waves, and a laid-back, restorative vibe.

On-site restaurant, a spa center offering massages and body treatments, picnic and barbecue areas, tour desk and laundry services. Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property and free self-parking make stays easy. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and unwind in shared lounges or the green grounds.

A conference center with roughly 3,014 sq ft (280 m²) plus meeting rooms and event space ideal for retreats, seminars and corporate trainings. Complimentary wireless internet, multilingual staff and lobby newspapers support business needs.

There’s an on-site restaurant serving guests and a complimentary daily buffet breakfast to start the day before beach or island excursions.
