From Ceará to the Pantanal: Brazil Establishes Itself as a Wellness Tourism Destination

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 /Caring for physical and mental health has become a central motivation for travel, and Brazil is stepping into the global spotlight as a premier destination for wellness tourism. According to the Global Wellness Economy Monitor 2024 from the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), wellness tourism is now the fourth largest sector of the global health economy, following personal care, nutrition, and physical activity.

With its unrivaled natural beauty, vibrant culture, and high-quality services, Brazil is uniquely positioned to meet this growing demand. The country ranks as the 12th largest wellness market in the world and holds the top position in Latin America and the Caribbean among the 46 countries analyzed by the GWI-clear evidence of a robust and established sector ready to welcome international travelers.

Nature as the Foundation of Wellness in Brazil

From the beaches of Ceará to the wetlands of the Pantanal, Brazil offers diverse landscapes that naturally foster balance, renewal, and reconnection.

• Ceará: Constant ocean breezes and expansive shores create an ideal environment for renewal. Visitors can enjoy beach meditations, sunrise and sunset tours, or adrenaline-fueled kitesurfing and windsurfing. Resorts such as Carmel Charme Resort in Aquiraz enrich the experience with yoga overlooking the sea, clay workshops, and seaside picnics designed to nurture body and soul.

• Bahia: Pristine beaches and endless palm groves invite deep relaxation. Boipeba Island attracts those seeking reconnection with nature, while Trancoso is home to some of Brazil 's most luxurious wellness retreats, including UXUA, Fasano, Club Med, and Pousada Estrela d 'Água.

• Iguassu Falls: The power of the waterfalls and the surrounding Atlantic Forest create a unique energy for wellness experiences. Travelers can practice shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), explore Guarani medicinal plants, or embrace mindfulness and yoga outdoors. The natural ionization from the waterfalls ' mist-one of the planet 's strongest sources of natural energy-offers additional restorative benefits.

• Mato Grosso do Sul: In Bonito, crystal-clear rivers, caves, and waterfalls set the stage for yoga and relaxation in pristine surroundings. In the Pantanal, one of the world 's largest wildlife sanctuaries, visitors connect with nature through safaris, horseback riding, and boat tours offered by eco-lodges like Caiman and Fazenda San Francisco. Here, wellness comes not from facilities, but from immersion in untouched landscapes.
