Clara Ibiúna and Clara Dourado launch the 2026 summer season under the motto “Emotion Included”, with water sports, nature, gastronomy and special deals.
“Emotion Included” guides the 2026 summer holidays
For the 2026 summer holidays, Clara Ibiúna Resort and Clara Dourado Resort present the campaign “A Emoção Está Inclusa” (“Emotion Included”). The concept shapes the entire January and February schedule. The focus lies on family reconnection, outdoor adventure and memorable food experiences.
Located 72 km from São Paulo, Clara Ibiúna Resort highlights its direct connection with Itupararanga Reservoir. Surrounded by Atlantic Forest, part of the activities takes place on the water, guided by specialized instructors. Programs are tailored for adults, teens and children.
Clara Ibiúna: water sports and family games
During summer, Clara Ibiúna offers classes in wakeboard, water-skiing, stand up paddle and kayaking. Guests can also enjoy jet ski rides, premium boat tours, e-foil, tube rides and wake surf. The reservoir becomes a natural playground for all ages.
On land, trails, horseback riding, bike rides, canopy walks, zip lines and a climbing wall complete the adventure menu. The resort’s Clarímpiadas organize sports competitions by age group. This encourages families to take part together in outdoor challenges.
Cocktail experiences, wine bar and live shows
On the gastronomic side, Clara Drinks features mixologists creating signature cocktails with seasonal fruits. The Wine Bar, equipped with a self-service wine dispenser, hosts guided tastings. The atmosphere invites guests to relax after a day of activities.
The evening program includes the interactive music concept “Cante Comigo”, with Brazilian and international hits. Another highlight is “Encantos do Brasil”, which celebrates the country’s musical diversity. Together, they bring stage, audience and culture into the same experience.
Clara Dourado: adventure park and waterfalls
In Dourado (SP), about 275 km from São Paulo, Clara Dourado Resort prepares a summer spanning the whole property. In 2025, the resort earned three titles at the Sustainable Luxury Awards, reinforcing its sustainable profile. The season’s activities make full use of the green areas, internal trails and dedicated family spaces.
The adventure park is one of the main attractions, with zip lines, canopy circuits, climbing wall, abseiling and a Tarzan jump. Nearby waterfalls, accessible via short trails, are included in the weekly agenda. The water area, with water slide, heated pools and children’s zones, hosts extra games, workshops and performances throughout the day.
Farm life for kids and themed activities
The mini farm and sensory garden remain highlights for children of all ages. Activities bring kids closer to caring for the land, animals and rural daily routines. This hands-on approach strengthens their connection with nature.
The entertainment team runs cooking, art and music workshops, plus playful experiences inspired by the summer season. At night, the resort hosts live music in the outdoor lounge and special sessions in the upgraded theatre. The Country Party heats up evenings with live sertanejo performances.
Masterclasses, picnics and full-board stays
The Clara In Casa Masterclasses, led by chef and CEO Taiza Krueder, teach recipes based on fresh, organic ingredients. The Farm Picnic offers open-air meals set against the property’s rural landscapes. Together, these experiences blend gastronomy and scenery.
All resorts operate on a full-board basis, including breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, with non-alcoholic beverages during meals. Buffets feature options for vegetarians, vegans and guests with dietary restrictions. Salad bars, vegetables and organic produce from the on-site gardens complement the menus.
Sustainability: renewable energy and reduced plastic
Winner of the 2019/2020 Braztoa Sustainability Award, the Clara Resorts Group runs on 100% renewable energy. All wastewater is treated and reused for irrigation. In addition, water filters are installed in every room, preventing the disposal of more than 300,000 plastic bottles per year.
“Summer at Clara is an opportunity to live experiences that truly leave a mark. When families dive into waterfalls, cook together in a workshop or simply watch the sunset over the reservoir, we are creating memories that last far beyond the holidays,” says Taiza Krueder, CEO of Clara Resorts.
Progressive discounts and nightly rates
For the 2026 summer, the resorts offer progressive discounts. Bookings of three nights or more receive a 10% discount. Stays of five nights or longer get 15% off.
The campaign applies to stays between January 2 and 31, excluding holidays. During the promotional period, nightly rates for two people start at R$ 2,551.00 at Clara Ibiúna. At Clara Dourado, prices begin at R$ 2,409.16, with payment in up to eight instalments.
