Hotel Jaguarindia Village

Coconut palms shade a semi-Olympic pool at this activity-forward resort in Fortim, a fishing village that takes kitesurfing seriously enough to be known across Ceará for it. The team organizes water skiing on the Jaguaribe River, buggy rides, and horseback riding on the nearby beach, so idle afternoons are optional. When the wind drops, a spa using Amazon-sourced ingredients and a yoga class provide the counterweight.
