About Taíba
Flat water lagoon for freestyle and wave beach. Host of the 2025 GKA Freestyle World Championship.
Taíba has a dual personality: the Lagoa do Kite (tide-independent, sandy bottom, shallow, venue of the GKA Freestyle World Championship 2025) coexists with the open ocean at Praia de Taibinha (waves up to 3m, venue of Surf Brasil Pro 2026). Carmel Taíba Exclusive Resort (5-star, Travellers' Choice 2024) and Saline Taíba define a new luxury standard for a village that still has pousadas for R$180/night.
