Icaraizinho de Amontada: the best spot for watersports
Between Fortaleza and Jericoacoara, 200 km from the capital of Ceará, Icaraí de Amontada offers a combination that few Brazilian destinations can match: consistent wind, blue ocean, flat lagoons, waves for those who prefer action, and a village that still preserves the slow, authentic rhythm of Brazil’s northeastern coast.
From July to December, winds blow between 20 and 30 knots on an almost daily basis. The bay offers multiple peaks, from flat lagoons for freestyle to open swell for those seeking wave riding. The surroundings also offer downwind routes for riders who want to take the experience beyond the main beach.
For riders who know the sport, Icaraizinho is no secret. It’s a destination.
A beachfront condo hotel
Club de Mar is located in the heart of Icaraizinho, with direct beach access and views of the kite spot. The structure follows a condo hotel model: private units with a full kitchen, balcony, infinity pool, restaurant, and the full operation of a high-end hotel.
This means you get the privacy of an apartment with the convenience of a resort—no staff management, no condo fees, no hassle. You arrive, drop your backpack, and go straight to the ocean.
For riders who travel frequently, this model makes immediate sense. It’s not just accommodation—it’s a base of operations.
Traveling light is part of the experience
Anyone who practices kitesurfing knows the boarding ritual: the bar, the board bag, the packed kite, extra baggage check-in, the anticipation of arriving and setting everything up. It’s part of the sport—but it doesn’t have to be part of every trip.
At Club de Mar, riders have access to CORE Kiteboarding equipment available for rent. CORE is the German brand voted the best kite manufacturer in the world for the third consecutive year by the global kitesurfing community, recognized for high-performance construction, durability, and precise handling in varied conditions.
This changes the way you travel.
You board without checking any gear. You arrive in Icaraizinho. You pick up equipment you already know and trust. And you go straight to the water.
The time you would spend managing logistics becomes time on the spot.
Why equipment matters more than it seems
There is a real difference between riding with any gear and riding with a kite that responds exactly as expected. For experienced riders, that difference isn’t about comfort—it’s about performance. It’s the sense of control that lets you push harder, go higher, and stay longer on the water.
CORE was built by kitesurfers for kitesurfers. Each kite is developed in Fehmarn, on a German island in the Baltic Sea, where the brand was founded in 2001 and where every product is tested under some of Europe’s most demanding conditions before reaching the global market.
When that equipment meets the wind of Icaraizinho, the result is a session you won’t forget.
The mindset of those who travel to ride
Riders planning a kitesurf-focused trip aren’t looking for a hotel with a pool. They’re looking for a destination with conditions, a base with structure, and an experience that makes sense from a sport perspective.
Northeast Brazil offers some of the best wind conditions in the world, and Icaraizinho stands out among Ceará’s coastline for balancing sailing quality with a preserved atmosphere. It doesn’t have the noise of Cumbuco or the mass tourism of Jericoacoara. It has wind, beach, and a village that respects the rhythm of those who came for this.
Club de Mar understands this logic and has built an experience around it—where the sport is central, comfort is a given, and operations are seamless.
