Casana Hotel

A black-bottomed pool that mirrors the sky sits at the center of this small boutique hotel on a white-sand stretch just east of Jericoacoara, where the kitesurfers and the serious wind-chasers tend to congregate. The handful of thatched bungalows sprawl generously, some with private plunge pools, all with bathrooms designed for lingering. A kite lounge handles the gear side of things, while the beach bar handles everything else.
