Founded six years ago on the shores of Macumba Beach, this project is more than just a stay—it's a hub for surf culture and genuine connection. With a dedicated team of over 50 staff members, the hosts are committed to sustainable development and preserving the local ecosystem. Their mission is to change the history of the coastline by combining tourism with environmental care, inviting travelers to breathe in the surf lifestyle while making a tangible difference.
The experience is based in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a laid-back coastal neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro known for its consistent waves and preserved nature. Situated right by Macumba Beach, the area offers a perfect escape from the city's chaos, surrounded by lush sandbanks and ecological reserves. It’s a surfer’s sanctuary that blends urban convenience with wild landscapes, offering easy access to hiking trails, natural pools, and the vibrant local beach culture.
The main goal is to combat beach pollution and preserve the fragile sandbank ecosystem. Travelers play a crucial role, as their presence drives the project's ability to maintain a 3,800+ sqm adopted area. The group contributes to tangible results, including the removal of tons of glass and thousands of cigarette butts, ensuring the coastline remains pristine for future generations.
ravelers engage with Good Health and Well-being by immersing themselves in the local surf culture. The experience promotes physical activity and mental wellness through surfing, yoga, and deep connection with nature, inspiring a healthy lifestyle.
Contributing to Life Below Water, travelers help preserve the marine ecosystem. By replanting native sandbank vegetation and removing toxic waste from the shore, the group helps protect the habitat for local marine life and coastal biodiversity.
To support Climate Action, the group actively participates in hands-on sustainability efforts. This includes organized beach clean-ups and environmental education, directly combating waste and protecting the coastal landscape from degradation.
