Florianopolis - Surf by day, Dance by night





The nickname 'the Ibiza of Brazil' speaks for itself really. Stunning beaches and an unparelelled nightlife makes this place pretty perfect for a lot of people who get very stuck there.

Nighlife - Most of the mega clubs are an hour or so out of town such as Green Vally (now voted top nightclub in the world, above Space in Ibiza) but many hostels do a transfer with your ticket. Like Ibiza these places are not cheap and girls can expect a serious discount on their ticket but i say if your going to do it you may as well do it properly, check the local listings for whats on and where. 

Hostels - We stayed at Sunset Backpackers which was a brilliant social hostel with a cool bar and amazing views. It had cheap surfboard rental and well organised activities and nighlife (the party bus is kitted out with lazers and tunes to get you in the mood, is pretty funny); however it was slighly out of town. Barra de Lagoa is a nice beach spot and town with some good hostels.

Beaches and Watersports - if your into your surfing Floranopolis is ideal. The beaches have different breaks that allow surfers of every standard to find the wave to suit you. Lessons are not too expensive and a short bus ride can get you to most beaches. There is also a large lake which is popular for paddle boarding and windsurfing.

Hostel: Sunset Backpackers - Amazing views, awesome communal areas with a pool and a good crowd, plus free Caprinyas every night so you can't loose!
