Ohana Beach Park Resort is celebrating its grand opening in Aquiraz with literature, music, and cuisine. Discover the new resort and the highlights of the program featuring Socorro Acioli and a tribute to Belchior.
Ohana Beach Park Resort will celebrate its official opening this Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in Porto das Dunas, Aquiraz, Ceará. The new Beach Park resort combines accommodations for families and couples, signature cuisine, and leisure and wellness experiences, with Ceará’s unique identity reflected in its architecture, art, and flavors.
The opening program brought together guests to tour the venue and kicked off the celebration of literature on the evening of November 10 with a talk by writer Socorro Acioli, followed by a special dinner. This Wednesday, music takes center stage with a one-of-a-kind concert by Chico Chico and Vannick Belchior in honor of the 80th anniversary of Belchior’s birth.
The Alma Cearense restaurant welcomed guests for a conversation with Socorro Acioli, author of *A Cabeça do Santo* and *Oração para Desaparecer*. During the event, the writer shared her career journey and reflected on how stories rooted in Ceará find readers in different countries.
Socorro also discussed the film adaptations of the two novels and the choice of *A Cabeça do Santo* as the inspiration for the Unidos da Tijuca samba school’s 2027 Carnival theme. The conversation explored the connections between literature, identity, and artistic creation—themes that also run through the concept of the new resort.
Following the talk, a dinner prepared by chef Ivan Prado continued the evening. Among the guests were Vitória Strada and Daniel Rocha, Rafa Brites and Felipe Andreoli, Nathalia Dill, Manu Gavassi, and Lethicia Bronstein, among others.
The event brought to the program an experience that inspires Ohana: discovering Ceará through its stories, its flavors, and the people who shape its culture.
This Wednesday’s lineup features a special concert by Chico Chico and Vannick Belchior. The performance celebrates the 80th anniversary of Belchior’s birth; he is one of the great names in Brazilian music and a leading figure in Ceará’s cultural scene.
The singer-songwriter’s daughter, Vannick, joins Chico Chico in a tribute to the power of his work and its connection to the identity of Ceará. Alane Dias and Lilly Sarti are also among those scheduled to take part in the celebration.
Ohana Beach Park Resort offers 226 accommodations across seven categories, ranging in size from 42 m² to 230 m². Among the options are units with private pools and gardens, offering more possibilities for family vacations or getaways for two.
The complex features a 400 m² central pool, two children’s pools, and spaces for events and socializing. Throughout the facilities, natural materials and works by local artists blend the comfort of the accommodations with the landscapes and cultural expressions of Ceará.
Art is a central part of the experience at Ohana, from the reception area to the communal spaces. Works by more than 76 artists and artisans from the state are featured in the development, as part of a project that brings together local art and iconic Brazilian design.
The architecture was designed by Beatriz Miranda, with Pablo Guterres serving as art curator. In the lobby, the panel *Vento Leste* by Túlio Paracampos transforms the landscape of Porto das Dunas into a ceramic composition. Created over the course of more than 90 days, the work highlights the artisanal craftsmanship present throughout the spaces. Among the furnishings, one of the highlights is the “Sucuri” armchair by Érico Gondim.
In the coworking space and library, a work by Cariri-based artist Mestre José Lourenço covers an entire wall and showcases the tradition of woodcut printing. The space also features books by authors from Ceará, enhancing the role of literature in the guests’ experience.
The exhibition features pieces from Tapera das Artes, a sociocultural organization in Aquiraz, and ceramics created by women of the Jenipapo-Kanindé people from the village of Lagoa Encantada. Clay, straw, bamboo, lace, mosaics, and cobogós are incorporated into the interiors in a contemporary style.
This offering is also available at Shop Shop, the resort’s store that features brands and artists from Ceará, such as Catarina Mina and Estúdio Matulão, as well as exclusive ceramics from Tapera das Artes.
Under the direction of Chef Ivan Prado, Ohana’s cuisine combines ingredients from Ceará, contemporary techniques, and international influences. Inspiration drawn from the sertão and the sea guides a culinary style that celebrates regional flavors and the joy of sharing a meal together.
“You can’t separate food from culture,” the chef said in an interview with Quem magazine during the opening events.
Located in the lobby, Jasmim Manga welcomes guests and the general public—a new addition to the dining options at Beach Park resorts. The menu features cashew ceviche, shrimp in local butter, and salmon with cashew-based tarê. In the cocktail bar, ingredients such as rapadura, cajá, soursop, and cashew-based tarê take center stage in the creations.
Alma Cearense, on the other hand, is exclusively for guests. Located across from the pool, the restaurant reimagines the cuisine of the coast and the sertão with fish, seafood, cassava, carne de sol, and coalho cheese. Breakfast and dinner are served buffet-style, while lunch is served à la carte. The restaurant offers children’s meals and options for guests with dietary restrictions.
The spa, designed by L’Occitane au Brésil, is part of the facility dedicated to personal care. The wellness program includes activities such as yoga and sound healing, while the gym—equipped with Matrix machines—and the dry and steam saunas round out the wellness offerings.
For children, the indoor kids' club features three areas organized by age group: Baby, for infants and children up to age 3; Kids, for ages 4 to 7; and Radicais, for ages 8 to 12.
Children ages 4 and older may participate in the activities under the supervision of staff members. Children under 4 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Sustainability has been an integral part of the Ohana project since its construction. Initiatives are planned in partnership with the Caatinga Association to offset greenhouse gas emissions associated with the construction and to contribute to the conservation of the biome and the Serra das Almas Nature Reserve.
As part of the operation, measures include electricity from renewable sources, automation to reduce energy consumption in guest accommodations, irrigation with reclaimed water, and composting of organic waste for use in green spaces.
The resort also implements waste separation, recycling, and reuse practices as part of the process to obtain Zero Waste certification.
With the opening of Ohana, Beach Park is expanding its lodging options in Ceará. Offering moments of relaxation, culinary experiences, and activities for all ages, the new resort invites visitors to discover the culture of Ceará throughout their stay.
