Kite & Sol Beach House
~2-minute drive to the lagoon
Nova Taíba, beachfront
Kite and Sol Beach House is a beachfront villa in Nova Taíba, a short drive from the Taíba lagoon, rented as a whole house that sleeps a group. It has a private pool and terrace right on the sand, with board rental, repair and custom boards on site, and lessons and downwinders arranged through a local partner school. It suits a group of riders who want their own private base by the water.
Taíba is a relaxed fishing village on the Ceará coast about an hour north-west of Fortaleza, close to Cumbuco and Paracuru but far quieter. It pairs a long open beach with a freshwater lagoon a short way inland, so beginners can learn on calm flat water while stronger riders take the cross-shore trades on the ocean. Increasingly chosen as the mellow alternative to busy Cumbuco, Taíba has a small cluster of kite schools and pousadas and a low-key, local feel.
