Rituaali PENEDO, BRAZIL
Nestled in the lush Atlantic Forest, Rituaali is an all-included medical spa 100 miles from Rio de Janeiro International Airport (GIG) and 160 miles from São Paulo International Airport (GRU). Situated in Penedo, a charming region known as Brazil’s primary Finnish colony, this luxury retreat offers a peaceful escape that blends nature and culture. Surrounded by pristine landscapes, a mild
climate and pure spring water, Penedo reflects its Nordic heritage through its architecture, culture and even in the retreat’s name — rituaali means ‘ritual’ in Finnish. This isn’t just a tribute to tradition; it’s an invitation to embrace self-care and intentional living. Since its founding in 2016, Rituaali has served
as a sanctuary for those seeking a more fulfilling life. Guests come to disconnect from the noise of modern life and reconnect with what matters: their wellbeing. As Lorena Trindade, the managing partner, explains: “Building good habits is the key to a longer, healthier life. But having a space that inspires and guides you makes all the difference.”
Every detail at Rituaali is crafted to create an
immersive wellness experience. From serene forest trails to thoughtfully prepared meals, each element encourages guests to slow down and embrace mindful living. The retreat is ideal for anyone looking to detox, recharge or simply enjoy a peaceful escape in an idyllic natural setting. Wellness at Rituaali is grounded in five core
pillars, beginning with clinical care, which provides evidence-based treatments to support both physical and mental wellbeing. Nutrition plays an important role, with plant-based meals made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients designed to nourish the body, energise the spirit and restore balance. Personalised exercise plans help enhance
vitality and strength while respecting the body’s natural rhythm, and the retreat’s spa treatments offer rejuvenating therapies that relieve stress and promote relaxation. Finally, guided practices, such as mindfulness workshops, nurture emotional resilience and help guests reconnect with their inner selves.
