UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa

Brazil’s Southern Bahia region is famed for its African influences, tropical climate, and hundreds of kilometers of pristine beaches. In 1586 Jesuit missionaries travelling in the area founded Trancoso, carving out of the rainforest a grassy town-square on a hilltop overlooking the ocean and surrounding it by fifty simple casas and a small church and mission. This area, known as the Quadrado, has been preserved for centuries and is today one of the most picturesque settings in Brazil. By carefully restoring 5 of the Quadrado’s historic casas here and creating new ones with local artisans using traditional building methods and reclaimed materials, designer Wilbert Das opened UXUA Casa Hotel…

UXUA is pronounced "Oo-shoo-ah," and the moment you arrive at this boutique hotel, you’ll simply say, "Ahh." In the heart of Trancoso, a fishing village along the Bahian coast, UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa features 12 casas around a garden and the 16th-century town square. Restored by designer Wilbert Das, local artisans used reclaimed materials and local artwork; antique casas feature one to three bedrooms, full kitchens, and open-air bathrooms – some with private plunge pools and Jacuzzis. Relax at the beach lounge, try the Brazilian sport of capoeira or Bahian cooking classes, and follow up with an organic treatment at UXUA Vida Spa.
