About Aldeia

Why we exist

Living in Floripa means knowing the right places and services, but useful information is still spread across WhatsApp groups, Instagram, searches and recommendations. Aldeia brings it together for people who live, work and move around the city.

Aldeia brings together more than 4600 island businesses, organized by category and neighborhood, with Google ratings and direct contact by phone, WhatsApp, website or Instagram.

What you'll find here

Nine practical areas for living in the city. Family and childhood remain one of them, without limiting the rest of the guide:

• Sport & movement: swimming, surfing, soccer, ballet, martial arts and gymnastics.
• Education & care: schools, daycares, tutoring, private teachers and childcare.
• Events & celebrations: cakes, venues, decor, photography, music and rentals.
• Culture & leisure: cinemas, cultural centers, libraries, museums, parks and workshops.
• Shopping & style: clothing, thrift shops and layette.
• Health & wellbeing: dentists, psychology, nutrition, clinics, hospitals, public health centers and pharmacies.
• Family & childhood: pregnancy, maternity care, pediatrics and child specialists.
• Services & everyday life: notaries, accounting, legal help and local services.

Curation, not blind scraping

The initial list came from Google Maps, but every category receives editorial review to avoid misleading matches. A business only appears where it makes sense for the person searching.

We're not perfect. If something is wrong, a business has closed or information is missing, let us know.

The team

A small project in Florianópolis, built by Edra and Miriá. Aldeia began as a personal research list for families and became a public guide once it was clear the city needed a simple place to discover what matters day to day.
