Barrinha dos Ventos was born from a genuine desire to be present in the world’s most iconic downwind destination — a natural extension of BL3 Sailing School in Ilhabela, a national reference in Brazil with over 30 years of expertise in nautical sports and hospitality. In Ceará, in the village of Barrinha de Baixo, we manage a curated selection of accommodations including four hotel-style rooms at Tatubola Pousada and two fully equipped three-bedroom homes: Casa Cajueiro and Casa Vilarejo. Just steps from the dunes and the sea, each space offers a unique blend of comfort and simplicity, designed especially for kitesurfers and travelers seeking a close connection with nature and tranquility. In Ilhabela, on the north coast of São Paulo, we continue to operate BL3’s main hub with four specialized centers — BL3 Armação, BL3 Oceano, BL3 Kite Center, and BL3 Empresas — along with the iconic Pousada Armação dos Ventos, featuring 14 guest rooms and a long-standing tradition of welcoming sailors, families, and corporate groups. What sets us apart is our deep connection to nature and our passion for creating authentic, memorable experiences — whether in the lush Atlantic Forest of Ilhabela or along the wild, wind-swept coastline of Ceará.
