Blown Away: Windsurfing Stays in Jeri

“With trade winds gusting on its equatorial coastline from June until February, Jericoacoara in Brazil has become a windsurfer’s paradise. It’s worth checking your airline’s baggage restrictions, but there are also plenty of options for hiring kit. One thing’s for sure: with 30⁰ water, you can leave your wetsuit at home.

My Blue Hotel
——————

If you want a prime beachfront location at the heart of the action, My Blue Hotel is ideal. Its spacious apartments are fairly new; and being just a short stroll along the beach from Jeri’s top windsurfing spot, it’s perfect for families and small groups. While you could easily windsurf every day, there’s plenty to do in between times. Like all the hotels in this popular area, it’s worth bearing in mind that the beach-facing accommodation can get a little noisy during the high season.

Hurricane Hotel
——————–

In terms of location, character and attention to detail Hurricane Hotel has it all. Set away from the resort centre with its noise and late-night music, it’s still only a short stroll to the restaurants and windsurf centre. Enjoy a stunning view of the Malhada Beach, which is said to be freestyle champion, Marcilio ‘Brawzinho’ Browne’s favourite jumping beach and certainly has some of the best starboard jumping ramps around. Back at the hotel, apres-surf couldn’t be more relaxing with hammocks and luxury Jacuzzi baths.
