Nova Camboriú, Beach destination in Santa Catarina, Brazil
Nova Camboriú is a beachfront resort area in Jaguaruna, Santa Catarina, begun in the 1990s by engineer José Miguel da Conceição of Constructil. It covers 265 hectares from the shore to the 55-hectare Figueirinha Lagoon, with lots sold mainly to buyers from Tubarão, Criciúma and Araranguá who built houses there.
Urbanization of Nova Camboriú began in the 1990s, led by civil engineer José Miguel da Conceição, owner of the Constructil engineering company, which has managed the resort's development since. Buyers from the Tubarão, Criciúma and Araranguá micro-regions acquired land and built residences. The area covers 265 hectares, from the beachfront to the 55-hectare Figueirinha Lagoon.
Nova Camboriú takes its name from Balneário Camboriú, the Santa Catarina resort the developers sought to imitate. The streets are named after Brazilian states and cities, a naming scheme repeated across the settlement. Land sales began in the 1990s and drew buyers from the Tubarão, Criciúma and Araranguá micro-regions, who built houses used seasonally rather than year-round.
Visitors reach this destination through the BR-101 highway, with regular bus services connecting to larger cities like Florianópolis and Joinville. The warm climate most of the year makes swimming and beach activities possible nearly throughout the seasons.
The resort's street plan was laid out from the 1990s by civil engineer José Miguel da Conceição, owner of the Constructil firm, which has managed the development since. The 265-hectare site runs from the beachfront to the 55-hectare Figueirinha Lagoon, and most lots were bought by families from Tubarão, Criciúma and Araranguá.
