The brief

Why rooftop pool hotels, why here

Rooftop pool hotels in Florianopolis are best understood as properties where the pool sits on an elevated terrace or rooftop setting, giving guests an open-air place to swim, unwind and take in the city’s coastal atmosphere. In a destination like Florianopolis, where beach time, relaxed resort stays and practical city access all matter, this kind of hotel suits travellers who want leisure without giving up convenience. It can work well for couples, families and friends looking for a stay that feels a little more special than a standard city hotel, as well as for visitors who want a pool area with a stronger sense of privacy and outlook.

The strongest options in this list combine that rooftop or elevated pool feel with solid guest ratings and a range of styles. Costão do Santinho Resort and Hotel Porto Sol Ingleses suit guests seeking a more resort-led beach stay, while Intercity Portofino Florianópolis - Hotel e Centro de Eventos is a useful choice for those who want a more functional base with event facilities. Boutique Quinta Das Videiras Hotel offers a more intimate, higher-end feel, and Pousada dos Artistas brings a smaller-scale option with an excellent guest score. Even where the hotel is not a large resort, the rooftop pool element adds appeal by creating a distinct place to relax above the everyday rhythm of the island.

For most travellers, the best fit depends on whether the priority is beach access, a quieter boutique atmosphere or a practical base for exploring Florianopolis at an easy pace.
