- resort infrastructure,
- and one of the strongest lifestyle/investment locations in southern Brazil.

What Is MAKAI Home Resort?
MAKAI is a luxury beachfront residential development located in Novo Campeche, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Florianópolis.
The project has been designed around a premium “home resort” concept:
the comfort and privacy of a residential condominium combined with the amenities and atmosphere of a luxury resort.
The development includes:
- studios,
- apartments,
- duplex units,
- and exclusive penthouses,
with unit layouts ranging from compact investment-focused studios to large oceanfront family residences.
Why Novo Campeche Is One of Florianópolis’ Hottest Locations
Novo Campeche has become one of the most desirable neighborhoods in southern Brazil.
Why?
Because it combines:
- beachfront lifestyle,
- nature preservation,
- modern infrastructure,
- cafés and restaurants,
- strong Airbnb demand,
- digital nomad appeal,
- and limited beachfront inventory.
Unlike older parts of Florianópolis, Novo Campeche was developed with a more modern urban concept and has become extremely attractive to:
- international buyers,
- young families,
- entrepreneurs,
- surfers,
- remote workers,
- and high-income Brazilian professionals.
The area sits directly beside Praia do Campeche — one of the island’s most famous beaches — known for its natural beauty, surf culture and protected coastal landscape.
Resort-Style Amenities at MAKAI
One of the biggest differentiators of MAKAI is the amenity package.
The project goes far beyond a normal condominium.
Amenities include:
- infinity-edge resort pool,
- indoor heated pool,
- spa facilities,
- dry and wet saunas,
- cryotherapy spaces,
- massage rooms,
- indoor and outdoor gyms,
- yoga and mindfulness spaces,
- coworking areas,
- gourmet entertaining areas,
- wine lounge,
- kids’ spaces,
- tropical landscaping,
- boulevard plaza,
- and a street mall with restaurants, services and shops.
The entire concept has been designed around:
wellness,
community,
nature,
and beachfront living.
Strong Investment Potential
For investors, MAKAI is particularly interesting because it sits at the intersection of:
- luxury real estate,
- beachfront scarcity,
- lifestyle migration,
- and short-term rental demand.
Novo Campeche continues to experience strong appreciation due to:
- increasing international visibility,
- limited beachfront land,
- and growing demand for premium lifestyle property in Florianópolis.
The area is especially attractive for:
- Airbnb rentals,
- seasonal rentals,
- digital nomad accommodation,
- and medium-term executive rentals.
Florianópolis itself has become one of Brazil’s strongest lifestyle and tourism markets, attracting both domestic and international visitors year-round.
Projects with:
- direct beach proximity,
- strong architecture,
- premium amenities,
- and resort infrastructure
are increasingly difficult to find.
Sustainability & Architecture
MAKAI also places strong emphasis on sustainability and biophilic architecture.
The project incorporates:
- tropical landscaping,
- natural light integration,
- organic design elements,
- environmental preservation,
- and wellness-focused spaces.
The landscaping is connected to the surrounding coastal environment and protected restinga vegetation that characterizes the Campeche region.
This creates a much more natural and lifestyle-oriented atmosphere compared to more urban high-rise developments elsewhere in Brazil.
Why International Buyers Are Looking at Florianópolis
At Rocks Investments, we are seeing increasing interest from:
- Americans,
- British buyers,
- Europeans,
- Canadians,
- and digital nomads
looking at Florianópolis as:
- a lifestyle move,
- an investment destination,
- a retirement option,
- or a long-term “Plan B.”
Compared to many global coastal cities, Florianópolis still offers:
- strong value,
- quality of life,
- lower density,
- natural beauty,
- and strong appreciation potential.
Particularly in premium locations like Novo Campeche, beachfront inventory is limited — which creates long-term scarcity value.
