“This hotel and kite surfing lodge faces the Jaguaribe River in Ceará, Brazil. Private bungalows are built on stilts and open onto the sea, featuring wood panelling, local artwork and natural accents; choose the family lodge for extra rooms. Take a kite surfing lesson or visit the spa; a chic hotel.”

Hotel review

With natural sand dunes, coconut plantations and mangroves, the landscapes surrounding the Jaguaribe River are an exceptional example of Brazil's biodiversity. The ocean inlet where the river runs into the ocean creates the perfect conditions for kite surfing; cue the creation of the Jaguaribe Lodge & Kite, a luxury, family-friendly eco-lodge facing the river. Accommodation is made up of a collection of custom-designed eco bungalows and two lodges built on stilts in the sea; the orientation of the bungalows means that they are naturally ventilated, avoiding energy-consuming air conditioning units. There is real attention to detail in the layout of these simple units, with traditional thatched roofs and wood panelling lending a back-to-nature feel. There are two lodges designed for families or groups, with multiple bedrooms and extra living space; the Family Lodge offers two independent suites, perfect for a group, while the Lodge Double incorporates a children's bedroom into the main lodge, great for a family travelling with two children. Both offer beautiful ocean views. The lodges and bungalows are connected by a floating walkway, meaning that the sea flows undisturbed beneath you. In terms of facilities, it is no surprise that the focus is on kite surfing. There are a range of classes and courses, ranging from beginners to advanced, and the conditions are perfect for people new to the sport. Relax after your class with a massage at the chic hotel spa before dinner at the gourmet restaurant. With no stone left unturned, this hotel gets top marks from guests for quality and service.
