About
Almost at Brazil’s easternmost point, Gostoso is a sand-streeted village where trade winds blow hard from August to December. It’s one of the world’s premier wingfoil destinations and home to one of the country’s top three kite schools, with lagoons and offshore islands for flat-water sessions. A growing international community of digital nomads, fibre-fast cafés and candlelit dinners round out the picture.
