Do you know where Atins is? – You should

The new ‘secret’ dream spot in the North or Brazil, which given its reputation as being full of crowded lagoon, is somewhere you really need to know about.

Brazil has long been a favourite for its consistent strong winds. Every year thousands of kiters flock to the shores of Ceará to iconic spots such as Cumbuco, Taiba, Jeri/Prea, etc.

However, for those seeking to get away from the crowds looking for something a little more left-field, there is new location to check out: Atins, a small fishing village on the fringes of the mesmerising Lençóis Maranhenses National Park offers a variety of flatware lagoons, waves and wide, open beaches.

Then, if you are ready to be blown away by the sheer beauty of it, you can kite in the lagoons of the park.

It was good enough for Red Bull

You may remember the ‘Red Bull Dos Ventos’ event which was basically a race across both land and water, well, you may also remember the location, like something out of a dream.

Well, it was Atins, so now watch the video below and imagine it being you.

And good enough for Hannah Whiteley

Hannah Whiteley was also there this year and shot this little edit from her time…which she called ‘kiting the bedsheets’.

Convento Arcádia is the name of a holiday house that opened this January. Only 100m from the beach it is the ideal location for small groups of up to 8 kiters.

Your host, Carmen, will welcome you to the Convento Arcádia set in half a hectare full of coconut palms, a grove of cashew trees, and carved into the bend of a sand dune. In less than 5 minutes you will find yourselves at the beach or in the nearest restaurant.

The architecture of the Convento Arcádia was carefully developed in harmony with its surroundings to provide for a unique and cosy atmosphere. Its outdoors kitchen is designed for dinner parties to the sound of the sea and the wind, the wrap-around veranda provides ample shaded space to relax and kick back with a good read in one of the many hammocks.
