Where you stay in Balneário Camboriú mostly comes down to which beach you want out front. Centro puts you on the busiest stretch of Praia Central, Barra Sul sits beside the cable car and aquarium, and Praia dos Amores is the quiet northern end. Here are the three areas and a hotel for each budget in each one. For a broader overview, see our Balneário Camboriú travel guide and our best time to visit Balneário Camboriú notes on when rates peak.
Where to Stay in Balneário Camboriú: Centro and Praia Central
Centro is the busiest district, with the widest choice of hotels, restaurants and nightlife along the Avenida Atlântica boardwalk. It is the best base for first-timers who want to walk everywhere, and it is where most mid-range and chain hotels cluster. For the district boundaries, see our Balneário Camboriú neighborhoods guide.

Where to Stay in Balneário Camboriú: Barra Sul
Barra Sul is the quieter southern end of the bay, anchored by the Unipraias cable car station, the Molhe pier and the Oceanic Aquarium. It is the natural base for families doing the cable car and theme attractions, and it stays calmer at night than Centro.

Where to Stay in Balneário Camboriú: Praia dos Amores and Praia Brava
