Brazil is a dream surf destination – and our retreat sits on one of its coastal gems. Located on Bahia’s lush Cocoa Coast, it offers world-class waves in a tropical paradise of natural pools, lagoons, jungle, and golden beaches. Discover warm waters and waves for every level – from mellow beach breaks for beginners to faster, more powerful rides for intermediate and advanced surfers.
Waves arrive year-round: bigger swells from May to September, gentler conditions from October to April – with each swell bringing its own magic. Our surf coaching programs help you improve your skills in a supportive way while exploring some of the most beautiful waves South Bahia has to offer.
All levels welcome

Days are warm and filled with light, and the local culture encourages you to slow down and connect with nature. Coconut groves, stretches of “restinga” vegetation, freshwater lagoons, and calm mangrove channels lead you toward the Peninsula’s stunning Atlantic coastline. Here, in one of Bahia’s most peaceful seaside regions, long sandy beaches and natural pools await – perfect for relaxing days by the ocean or for chasing dreamy, warm-water waves with us. It’s a place where nature feels untouched, life moves at a gentler pace, and every path leads you to a new piece of coastal paradise.
Our home is just a short walk from one of the region’s most beautiful and quiet beaches, surrounded by lush nature and sandy coastal paths. From the backyard, you can step straight into the ocean, where coconut-lined shores invite morning swims and sunset dips. Scenic walking and bike routes are all close by.
The small, laid-back village has a naturally eco-conscious spirit, with a handful of artisan spots and mindful eateries. Life here moves slowly – shaped by nature, well-being, and simple daily rituals – making it easy to unwind and truly disconnect.
The region is home to some of Bahia’s most stunning and diverse beaches. Along the coastline, you’ll find crystal-clear natural pools, calm tropical shores, and wild, untouched stretches of sand. Secluded beaches offer the perfect setting for peaceful walks and quiet moments by the sea. With warm waters, coconut-lined shores, and great spots for snorkeling, surfing, and unforgettable sunsets, the area combines pure tranquility with striking natural beauty.

Our Villa sits on the Península de Maraú, right in the heart of Brazil’s lush Cocoa Coast.
Ilhéus Airport is the closest and most convenient option, just a 2-hour drive from our Villa. Flying into Salvador also works, but the journey to the Peninsula is longer and less direct.
From Ilhéus Airport: we can help you organize your arrival with trusted taxi drivers – private transfer costs ~70€. If there are other guests arriving with similar schedule, we’ll let you know about shared costs or rent your own car at the airport and follow the road to Praia dos Algodões
From Salvador City: a longer journey – you’ll need to take the ferry to cross to the mainland (Terminal São Joaquim → Bom Despacho) on Ilha de Itaparica. From there, the journey continues by road toward the peninsula – either by private transfer, rented car, or a combination of buses and drivers.
Breakfast, brunch and dinner are included in all packages. Our breakfast menu offers vegan and vegetarian options with sweet and savory choices, complemented by Ceylon tea and fresh coffee.
A daily brunch buffet is served from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm, including healthy energy balls, tea or coffee, fruits and a main dish.
Our family dinners are freshly prepared by our team and served on themed nights – from traditional Sri Lankan cuisine to a variety of Asian and Mexican flavors. From buffet to live kitchen, let yourself be surprised and enchanted every evening!
*All meals are vegetarian.
**We are happy to cater to different dietary requirements.
Absolutely! Partners or family members who don’t surf or practice yoga are welcome. They can enjoy massages, city tours, safaris, or simply relax on the beach and enjoy delicious food. Contact us for more information and pricing.
Surfing is a fantastic family holiday activity, and having kids join your surf lessons is always a lot of fun. We do have an age limit for surfing guests though – they must be at least 6 years old and accompanied by one participating adult. Children requiring their own room are charged at the adult rate.
Contact our team for more info on that and we will review the case based on reservation timing.
With its tropical location, the Península de Maraú receives rain throughout most of the year, but showers are usually short and spaced out – sunny moments are frequent, and the sun almost always returns quickly. The driest season runs from September to March, a period when the sea tends to be gentler, offering perfect beginner-friendly waves as well as fun conditions for all levels.
The rainiest season extends from April to August, when stronger swells are more common. These months often bring more powerful waves that experienced surfers enjoy, while still providing protected spots and softer conditions for beginners on most days.
Overall, the region follows these seasonal patterns, but the ocean is always shifting – and there’s almost always something surfable nearby.
No, cancellations are allowed, only in case of serious illness or injury. If you let us know in advance (minimum 10 days) we can refund the deposit or re-schedule your lessons.
Swimming isn’t mandatory, but it helps you feel more confident in the water and allows you to progress faster while enjoying the experience to the fullest.
Lesson times are usually confirmed the evening before to make planning easier. The schedule depends on the best surf conditions for your level.
If you have a special connection with your own board and it’s convenient to travel with it, you’re very welcome to bring it along. There is storage space!
