Costão do Santinho Resort

The Resort and Its Setting

Costão do Santinho Resort is built directly on Praia do Santinho, one of the quieter beaches on Florianópolis island's northern shore, where granite headlands and native forest frame a long stretch of sand. The resort runs on an all-inclusive basis and is known for its scale: seven restaurants, a spa, and several pools alongside water sports facilities — all reflected in its strong 4.8/5 Google rating from nearly 44,000 reviews. It functions as a lodging and spa destination in equal measure, drawing both beach holidaymakers and guests who come mainly for the wellness and dining experience.

Florianópolis and the Santinho Area

Florianópolis — often just called "Floripa" by Brazilians — is an island city with more than 40 beaches, ranging from the surf breaks of the east coast to calmer bays better suited to families. The Santinho area, where the resort sits, is on the island's northeastern tip, within reach of other well-known beaches and the island's dune fields. The wider city mixes fishing-village heritage with a modern, youthful energy, and is a popular base for surfing, hiking coastal trails, and exploring lagoons and nature reserves. Outside the resort gates, visitors can also find archaeological sites with ancient rock engravings that give the Santinho area its name.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you hold a timeshare week at Costão do Santinho Resort and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, write your own listing, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform — there's no third party bidding the price up or down. Sellers pay a one-time listing fee to publish their ad; BidMyTimeshare.com does not take a cut of the sale or rental price, so there's 0% commission on whatever you agree with the buyer.

Costão do Santinho is managed independently rather than through a verified exchange network affiliation, so resale here typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded transfer process. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort's owner services or administration team directly for the current transfer fee, whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and the current annual maintenance fee for the week in question — these figures can change and should always be confirmed in writing before any deposit changes hands. A resale buyer should also clarify exactly what transfers with the week: the usage rights and week/unit allocation, and whether any loyalty perks, points, or in-house benefits tied to the original purchase are included or stay with the seller.

What Renters Look For

Renters searching for a week at an all-inclusive resort like this one are usually looking at the specific week or season, unit size and occupancy, and whether meals, drinks and activities are genuinely covered in the rate or billed separately. Because the resort has such a broad reviewer base, prospective renters will also often check recent guest feedback before committing, so keeping your listing details (dates, unit type, what's included) accurate and specific helps set the right expectations.

Practical Notes for Owners

Keep proof of your week's ownership, any maintenance fee statements, and resort correspondence organised before listing — buyers and renters will want to see these during due diligence. Respond promptly to enquiries through the platform messaging, and be upfront about the annual fee and transfer process so buyers can budget accurately from the outset.
