Icaraizinho de Amontada
Icaraizinho de Amontada is one of the most respected spots in Brazil. Steady wind for much of the year, an open and preserved shoreline, shallow waters in certain areas, and none of the noise of major tourist destinations. The kind of place experienced kitesurfers seek out worldwide, and one Aqua de Mar guests find just outside the door.
The hotel sits right on the beach, with immediate access to the sand and the spot. For those coming to practice, the proximity removes travel time and leaves the maximum possible time in the water.
Escuela de Mar
Escuela de Mar was born in the water.
A school created to turn Icaraizinho's wind into a language accessible at any skill level. With certified instructors and a solid methodology, it accompanies each student from the first contact with the equipment to the moment the wind makes sense in the body — when the kite stops being technique and becomes extension.
The process is individual, adapted to each learner's pace. The partnership with Aqua de Mar is the sum of two projects sharing the same philosophy: do it well, with presence and no shortcuts.
A New Relationship with the Wind
Kitesurf is the most classic of wind sports, and one of the most transformative.
A kite tethered to the body by lines captures the wind and pulls the rider across the water with speed and precision. It demands reading the wind, balance, and technique. In return, it offers a sense of freedom that, once experienced, is impossible to ignore.
Icaraizinho has everything the sport demands. Escuela de Mar has the instructors and the method. The result is a learning curve that respects each student's pace, delivering, in the end, something that goes far beyond a lesson.
Another Way to Feel the Sea
For those who want to go further, or simply start differently, wingfoil is the fastest-growing discipline in water sports.
A handheld wing captures the wind while the rider glides over the water on a board fitted with a foil: a submerged wing that lifts the board a few centimeters above the surface. The result is a silent, almost surreal flight. A new sensation even for those who have practiced kitesurf for years.
Escuela de Mar offers wingfoil lessons with the same individualized attention as its kite classes, adapting content and pace to each student's profile, from beginner to practitioner looking to progress.
Your Level, Our Starting Point
Never kited before? Escuela de Mar starts from zero, with calm and structure.
The instructors identify where to progress and work on it with precision. The school has no single entry point — it adapts to the student, whatever their starting point. The care is in the process: every lesson is designed so students leave with more confidence than they arrived with.
For Aqua de Mar guests, the school is a conversation away. Simply check availability and arrange the best moment during the stay.
Those Who Feel What They Teach
Professionals with years of experience at sea, trained in internationally recognized methodologies and, above all, passionate about what they do. That love for the sport shows in the lesson: in patience with the beginner, precision with the advanced student, in the way they explain the wind as if it were something alive.
Teaching kite is opening a new perception. And that only happens when the teacher genuinely believes in what they do.
The sea of Icaraizinho is just steps away. The school, ready. The wind, always.
