Brazilian Dubai Awaits You!
Balneário Camboriú is a spectacle in itself. With its imposing skyscrapers reflected in the sea, the city offers a unique mix of vibrant urban life and preserved natural beauties.
History and Origins
Balneário Camboriú was not always the vibrant metropolis we know today. Originally part of Camboriú, the region was known as "Praia de Camboriú" and inhabited mainly by artisanal fishermen.
Its political emancipation occurred only in 1964, marking the beginning of a radical transformation driven by tourism, the hospitality of its people and the incomparable natural beauty of its waterfront.

Nature vs Urban
Camboriú ≠ Balneário Camboriú
It's common for visitors to confuse them, but they are distinct cities! Camboriú is the "mother" city, located inland, focused on rural tourism, waterfalls and tranquility.
Balneário Camboriú is the "daughter", the coastal city, famous for its skyscrapers, trendy beaches and nightlife. Although neighboring and connected, they have completely different administrations, histories and tourist profiles.
Economic Activities
The city's economy is robust and revolves around three fundamental pillars that guarantee its constant growth and quality of life:
Real Estate Market
Balneário Camboriú has one of the most valued square meters in Brazil, competing for the top of the national ranking. Real estate investment here is not just about housing, it's about high liquidity financial assets and property security.
The city attracts global investors due to exemplary public safety and constant appreciation driven by geographical scarcity.
The Brazilian Dubai
The nickname is not for nothing. Balneário Camboriú houses the largest concentration of skyscrapers in South America, creating a unique skyline that rivals major international centers.
New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve in Balneário Camboriú is a grand spectacle. The city receives more than 1 million tourists to watch the famous pyrotechnic show that reflects in the Atlantic waters, illuminating the entire waterfront of Praia Central.
It's the moment where the "Brazilian Dubai" shows all its energy, with exclusive parties at beach clubs, yachts anchored in the bay and a totally revitalized waterfront.
