Costao do Santinho Resort Golf & Spa

The Resort and Its Setting

Costao do Santinho Resort Golf & Spa is an independent timeshare property on Florianopolis island, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. The resort is built around golf and spa facilities as its signature amenities, aimed at owners who want a mix of relaxation and active recreation in one place. As an RCI-affiliated resort, it gives owners the option to use their week on-site or deposit it with RCI to exchange for stays elsewhere.

Florianopolis: The Area and What There Is to Do

Florianopolis is known for its combination of beaches, lagoons and Atlantic Forest landscapes, all packed onto one island municipality. Within a short drive of the resort, owners and renters can reach Lagoa da Conceição, a freshwater lagoon lined with restaurants and shops and popular for paddleboarding and kayaking, and Praia Mole, one of the island's liveliest beaches with clear water and a strong beach culture. Praia Campeche offers a quieter, less crowded stretch of sand with fresh seafood restaurants nearby, while Bom Retiro State Park has hiking trails and coastal viewpoints through native Atlantic Forest. For history and local markets, the historic centre of Florianopolis is also within reach, with its colonial architecture and traditional local shops and markets.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Costao do Santinho Resort Golf & Spa and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, and buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers only pay a one-time listing fee to post their week.

Because this is an independent resort, resale isn't handled through a single branded transfer programme the way it would be at a major chain. Instead, ownership transfers typically go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these vary and aren't fixed by the marketplace. It's also worth confirming in writing exactly what passes to the buyer — the usage rights and week/unit type — and whether the resort or association holds any right of first refusal on a resale, so there are no surprises once a sale is agreed.

If the week is RCI-affiliated, let buyers know this clearly in your listing, as access to the RCI exchange network is one of the main reasons buyers consider a resale here rather than booking a standard holiday.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters searching for weeks at this resort are generally after a specific travel window — Brazilian summer (December–February) for warm-weather beach time, or the shoulder months of April–May and September–October for milder weather and fewer crowds. Being clear in your listing about unit size, view, and which weeks are available helps match your week to the right renter faster.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Portuguese is the main language spoken locally, though as a tourism-focused resort, English-speaking staff are generally available to assist international guests. The Brazilian Real is the local currency, and exchange rates can shift, so factor that into any pricing discussions with international buyers or renters. Both rental cars and public transport are options for getting around the island to reach the beaches and lagoon areas mentioned above.
