Virada do Aruá — Réveillon 2027

Across the Rio de Contas, a five-minute canoe ride from the center, Pontal is the beach where Itacaré ends and the Maraú Peninsula begins: miles of sand, coconut palms and not a building in sight. This is the setting for Virada do Aruá, which promises an entire week of New Year's Eve celebrations, with parties at night, sports by day and samba at sunset.

One week, four parties

The announced lineup includes four open bar nights, each with its own name: Bem-te-vi (December 27), Siricutico (29th), the Virada do Aruá (31st) and Desbaratina (January 2). In between, two sunset gatherings: Samba dos Corais on the 28th and Samba das Conchas on the 30th. The announced styles range from MPB and samba to funk and electronic music; the artists' names have not yet been released.

The daytime counts too

By day, the schedule mentions surfing, altinha, footvolley, beach tennis, running, yoga, trails and forró classes, plus recovery and wellness activities. It is the immersive New Year's format: those who buy the package spend the week in the rhythm of the event.

What is still to be confirmed

The dates appear in two versions: the local events calendar lists December 27 to January 2, while the ticketing platform indicates December 26 to January 3. Packages, according to the sales platform, start at R$ 3,200. It is worth checking directly with the event's channel before booking your trip.
