Atobá is made up of just 46 properties, tucked discreetly into a beautiful piece of beachfront land, bringing a wide range of amenities into this wild and rustic setting. The community also includes a pool, a yoga and meditation space, entertainment towers, a restaurant and the kiters' lounge, which is the main communal space and spiritual heart of Atobá. Everything you need to practise kitesurfing in safety and security is also there—from a hangar and a maintenance area to an observation tour and first aid. A new airport that's just a 25-minute drive away makes the trip a snap.
Because this stretch of coastline is one of the most spectacular spots on the planet, we didn't have to look far for inspiration. The buildings that make up Atobá are made largely out of local stone and wood, as well as carnaúba palm fibres. While inside they offer state-of-the-art comforts, outside, our homes embody the traditional charm of northeastern Brazil. Nícia Bormann's landscape project enhances the local vegetation and creates circulation areas that allow different routes and encounters. The venture harmonizes with the cultural surroundings with an authentic and conscious aesthetic result.
