Discover the stay

Welcome to Caju Knots

A small kitesurf & yoga retreat in Northeast Brazil

Caju Knots is not a resort. It is a house in Parajuru, on the coast of Ceará, run by Priscilla and Xavier. Two chalés, a villa, a pool and a tropical garden, a few minutes from one of the most consistent wind spots in Brazil. Come for kitesurfing and yoga, enjoy healthy home cooking and discover the region with the people who live here.

1h40 from Fortaleza

Around 130 km south of Fortaleza airport, in the fishing village of Parajuru, Beberibe, Ceará.

Wind from July to January

A long and regular season, with flat water in the lagoon and waves along the sandbank.

Two chalés and one villa

A small house rather than a hotel: few guests, shared tables and plenty of space.

Kitesurfing in Brazil: Parajuru, Ceará

Parajuru is one of those spots you keep coming back to: a long beach, a lagoon that fills at high tide for flat-water riding, and waves along the sandbank whenever you want them. It is quieter than Cumbuco or Taíba, which makes it an ideal place to learn and one of the best to progress.

Priscilla and Xavier are both kitesurf instructors. Lessons, supervised sessions, gear rental and downwinders are adapted to your level and to the conditions of the day, not to a fixed schedule.

Kitesurf lessons & rental

Move · Breathe · Slow down

Yoga, mobility & wellness

Priscilla is a yoga teacher, and kite days are long. Sessions invite you to slow down, move mindfully and relax. On the programme: mobility and stretching work around the water, and gentler practices when the wind drops.

Massages can be arranged in Parajuru whenever you feel like doing nothing at all.

Your hosts

Meet Priscilla & Xavier

Priscilla is Brazilian, born in Pernambuco. An engineer by training, she became a host, a yoga teacher and a kitesurf instructor. Xavier is French, also a kitesurf instructor, and the creator of the breakfast jars that have quietly become the Caju Knots signature.

Between Europe, Africa and Brazil, they have built the kind of place they would have loved to stay in themselves.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons passé 5 jours formidables chez Priscilla et Xavier, et nous avons quitté les lieux à regret ! Tout était parfait : les chalets sont magnifiques, le cadre est vraiment agréable et l'accueil réservé par nos hôtes est tout simplement imbattable.

Priscilla et Xavier sont d'une gentillesse incroyable. Nous avons adoré perfectionner notre kitesurf avec leurs conseils et profiter des plus beaux couchers de soleil sur l'eau. Mention spéciale pour les cours de yoga de Priscilla, qui font un bien fou après de grosses sessions sportives !

Nous reviendrons, c'est une certitude !

Ils nous ont super bien accueillis et nous ont chouchoute pendant tout notre séjour.

Les chalets sont super bien aménagés avec des finitions haut de gamme. La literie est incroyable et la double douche a l’italienne c’est la cerise sur le gâteau.

Les petits déjeuner sont copieux mais surtout délicieux. Je recommande la crepioca !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nous avons passé une retraite d'une semaine à Caju Knots en août. Priscilla et Xavier sont absolument adorables, hospitaliers et aux petits soins. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison, en famille. Jamais nous n'avons eu de tels hôtes si aimables. Notre semaine était super, un parfaite équilibre entre activité et repos. Nous avons fait une initiation de kitesurf sur une semaine. Priscilla et Xavier étant moniteur agréé et très pédagogue. Nous avons pu profiter de sessions de kitesurf au coucher du soleil, de séance de yoga et stretching matin et soir, de massages, de cours de cuisine, d'aquarelle, de diverses balades découverte. La nourriture était incroyable, locale, savoureuse, préparée avec soin et délicatesse.

Cette semaine nous aurions voulu qu'elle dure pour toujours. Je recommande vraiment cette expérience, c'est plus que juste une retraite ou un kite trip. C'est une vraie expérience unique, de découverte, sociale, culinaire et sportive.

foi maravilhoso! A hospedagem extremamente confortável num chalé com um banheiro privativo excepcional que dá pra uma área externa com jardim. As camas grandes e confortáveis e há uma piscina da casa que é compartilhada que a água está sempre morna devido a sua localização que leva o sol durante o dia. O café da manhã sempre muito farto e delicioso. Os hosts foram muito atenciosos, gentis e sempre preocupados para que a nossa estadia fosse inesquecível como realmente foi. Xavier e Priscilla nos ofereceram experiências como Ioga, introdução ao kite surf, pintura em aquarela e ainda tivemos ótimos momentos com alguns jogos em grupo. Saímos de lá com um nó firme que nos fará voltar o mais breve possível para que revivamos essa experiência!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A experiência no Caju Knots foi bastante satisfatória.
O chalé é muito amplo e confortável, tanto o quarto, quanto o banheiro. A cama é enorme com um colchão de muita qualidade. Roupas de cama e banho muito macios e cheirosos. Tudo isso deu uma grande sensação de bem estar e de conforto, ideal para os momentos de descanso.
A pousada dispõe de uma piscina, muito bem mantida. É um lugar com muito verde e muito tranquilo.
Café da manhã delicioso. Perceptível o cuidado com os alimentos, que estavam todos muito saborosos.
Funcionários muito solícitos, simpáticos e atenciosos.
Os proprietários, Priscila e Xavier, são ótimas pessoas, sempre atentos ao bem estar do hóspede. Aliás, a postura deles é um diferencial, pois as trocas de ideias e as atividades que eles proporcionam tornam a estada não uma simples hospedagem, mas uma experiência muito especial e enriquecedora.
Com certeza pretendo voltar mais vezes a Parajuru. Os dias na Villa Caju ganharam um espaço especial na minha memória.

A quelques minutes de l'océan pour s'y baigner (28°) ou pour y faire du kite surf avec des conditions idéales.
Sans oublier les hôtes qui sont tout simplement adorables et qui ont l'envie de vous partager ce qui leur tienne à coeur.
Merci pour tout et à bientôt !
