The team at Planet Kitesurf Holidays have found the best kitesurfing destination in the world for your next holiday – Gostoso in Brazil!

Find out five reasons why our team think you should go to Gostoso:

1. Super reliable winds

Brazil is one of the world’s most reliable wind spots in their summer which runs from September through to March. During these months you can expect between 17 and 30 knots every day with the wind blowing at a side to side off shore direction.

2. A variety of kitesurfing conditions

No matter your kitesurfing skill level, Gostoso serves up a variety of conditions to your needs. Enjoy shallow butter-flat water through to small clean waves and for lessons there is a dedicated kite training zone with a large area of shallow water and on shore conditions, making learning very safe and easy. For bigger waves (up to 2 metres) there is a great spot around 20 minutes drive away.  For waves, the best season is November through to January when the outer reef serves up a super clean wave. Planet Kitesurf work with two different windsurf locations in Gostoso, depending on your accommodation choice and windsurfing skill level.

2. Amazing value for money

Gostoso offers great value for money when it comes to accommodation and eating out. A few lively bars offer live music and great drinks specials while there are plenty of restaurants to choose from offering mouth-watering Brazilian specialities and plenty of fresh seafood at affordable prices.

3. Fantastic accommodation

Planet has sourced a handful of very good quality boutique hotels for our clients, with the kitesurfing either directly on site or just a short walk away.

Couples will enjoy the Gostoso Luxury Boutique Hotel – a gorgeous owner-run beachfront property that offers newly renovated sea facing rooms, an unsurpassed level of personal service and amazing cuisine prepared by a professional Italian chef.

4. A great atmosphere

The local people in Gostoso, Brazil, are very charming, and welcoming to windsurfers, kiters, and surfers. There is virtually no crime in this peaceful seaside region of Brazil and the pace of life is really calm. With ‘wind tourism’ growing every year, a variety of very good owner-run restaurants and bars are popping up, adding a fantastic vibe to the region.

5. A great kitesurf centre

The kitesurf centre we love is located on the easiest kitesurf spot in Gostoso and is the perfect location for beginner and improver kitesurfers. The kitesurf school offers learn to kitesurf lessons in English, German, Italian, and of course Portuguese. There is a large sandy beach for starting with the kite work before stepping into a shallow flat water section to begin the water start lessons.
