A piece of wave pool history as the first Wavegarden Cove in South America, and a private community amenity rather than a destination you can book.
Praia da Grama opened on 1 July 2021 inside the Fazenda da Grama private residential estate in Itupeva, about 50 miles by road from São Paulo. It was the first Wavegarden Cove in South America, built in partnership with KSM Realty, and access is restricted to the estate's residents and their guests.
A 52-module Wavegarden Cove, which Wavegarden described at opening as the second-largest Cove in the world, with more than 20 wave types for all levels. The lagoon sits in a palm-fringed, white-sand beach setting.
Residents and their guests. For everyone else it is a spectator wave: there is no day pass and no public booking.
There is no public pricing because there is no public access. Entry runs through the Fazenda da Grama estate.
If you have access, Itupeva is about 50 miles from São Paulo by road and about 17 miles from Viracopos airport in Campinas. Otherwise, point your trip at Surfland Brasil instead.
