Hostel do Blue

Sixteen kilometres south of Florianópolis centre, Hostel do Blue sits on the quieter Campeche side of Santa Catarina island, where beach access is a short walk from the front door rather than a transit ride.

Rooms include air conditioning, balconies, a refrigerator, and full kitchenware — a practical setup for guests arriving with market bags from the Campeche Saturday fair. A dining area with electric kettle and tea maker means early mornings don't require leaving the property. Parking on-site removes the island's chronic summer congestion from the equation.

Campeche beach draws surfers rather than resort crowds; the consistent southwest swell makes it one of the island's most respected breaks. With only five reviews logged and a 9.6 rating, the hostel remains largely off the aggregator radar — a rare find in a neighbourhood increasingly popular with remote workers.
