Two days of wind, water and well-being on the lagoon
On the last weekend of October, Praia da Baleia celebrates something new. For the first time, the Baleia Wellness Festival brings yoga, breathwork, kitesurfing, regional food and sunset music together at Villa Lagoon, where calm lagoon water meets the open Atlantic.
It is a weekend for athletes and families, for people who love healthy living and for the community of Baleia itself. You can start the day with sunrise yoga in knee-deep water, ride the trade wind in the afternoon and end around the bonfire with live music.
“Connection, self-care and good winds: the celebration of well-being at Praia da Baleia.”
Open yoga, meditation, functional training on the sand, and kitesurf and wingfoil clinics on the lagoon.

IV
Culture & sunset sessions
Live MPB, reggae and surf music, live painting, and a shared bonfire to close the day.
Why Baleia, why now
A coast on the rise
Praia da Baleia is one of the last authentic stretches of the Ceará coast: about four kilometres of open sand, dunes, lagoons and steady wind, without high-rises or mass tourism. A new four-lane road from Fortaleza now makes it easy to reach, and it lies halfway between Fortaleza and Jericoacoara.
Yes. Entry to the Baleia Wellness Festival is free for everyone, made possible by our sponsors and partners. Please register anyway, so we know you're coming and can plan the activities.
