Beachside Yoga & Wellness Week on Brazil's Atlantic Coast

The retreat runs out of an eco-resort set back from the beach, surrounded by 17 hectares of tropical gardens. Rooms are simple and airy, with views over the grounds. The property has a pool, a restaurant, and open-air yoga spaces — some under cover, some on the sand.

The yoga is led by Adèle, a Swedish-based teacher with over 20 years of experience. She trained in India and Sweden, and her background includes Vinyasa, Hatha, and Ashtanga, plus Ayurveda and bodywork. Sessions run daily: vinyasa in the mornings, restorative or Yin in the evenings, and a Yoga Nidra session towards the end of the week. The schedule is designed so you're moving enough to feel the benefit, but not so much that it becomes exhausting.

Mid-week, there's a buggy excursion through the dunes and lagoons of Ceará. This is one of the region's signature landscapes — white sand dunes dropping into clear freshwater pools. You can swim, walk around, or just take in the scenery. Later in the week, an optional day trip to Fortaleza covers local markets and artisan fairs, if you want a taste of the city.

The food is a highlight. The chef sources from local producers and cooks a mix of Brazilian and international dishes — three meals a day, plus water, tea, and coffee throughout. There's also a hands-on bread-making workshop, which is as much about slowing down as it is about learning to bake.

One full day is set aside for rest. No scheduled activities — just the pool, the beach, the garden, and whatever you feel like doing. The week ends with a closing ceremony and a final breakfast before checkout at noon.
