Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa
On the protected, green hill of the historic Quadrado in Bahia, time seems to follow a completely unique, calming melody. This colonial village square overlooking the Atlantic Ocean forms the perfect backdrop for the Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa, whose 15 luxurious yet rustic accommodations are spread throughout the upper part of the village and the tropical garden. In close collaboration with international designers and local artisans, the Casas have been lovingly restored using traditional techniques and recycled materials. Each individual accommodation has its own soul, is equipped with local handicrafts, and tells the stories of the families that once lived here. From relaxing by the shimmering pool made of aventurine quartz to soothing spa rituals, to the sound of the sea in the rustic beach lounge, this retreat invites you to enjoy the true luxury of unadulterated authenticity.

Suites
The private vacation homes, known as Casas, present themselves as masterpieces of rustic modernism and are individually equipped with handcrafted unique items from local fishermen and the Pataxó Indigenous people. The spectrum ranges from the intimate, 35 square meter suite Cerâmica with five-meter-high ceilings to the colorful Casa Das Artes, which offers exclusive artworks, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private pool on 180 square meters. In the historic Casas directly at the Quadrado, such as the 135 square meter Seu Pedrinho or the Seu Irênio with its own fireplace lounge, guests enjoy an unobstructed view of village life. Many accommodations feature open living areas, floors made of traditional burnt cement, and spectacular indoor-outdoor bathrooms with rainforest showers and sinks made from tree trunks.
Culinary
In a wonderfully relaxed outdoor atmosphere, an excellent cuisine unfolds here that brings the fresh flavors of Bahia to the plate. Whether directly at the historic village square or in the casual beach restaurant, the focus is on light, innovative dishes and traditional seafood stews made from the daily catch of local fishermen. Almost all ingredients used, from tropical fruits to local spices for the cocktails, come directly from the hotel's large agroforestry farm. This authentic culinary experience is complemented by creative, plant-based creations from the in-house laboratory and atmospheric full moon parties right in the sand of the beach bar.
Activities
The varied recreational offerings fully exploit the diversity of nature between coast, mangroves, and rainforest, providing challenging experiences for every taste. At the hotel's own beach section, which can be reached in just eight minutes on foot through a protected mangrove area, surfing, kayaking, and beach volleyball are on the agenda. Culture enthusiasts can learn the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira in personalized courses from local masters or try out traditional forró dances. The Vida Spa offers deep regeneration with therapies based on indigenous Pataxó healing methods and massages with Almescar oil, while the unique pool made of 40,000 green aventurine quartz stones provides an energetic refreshment. Active days can also be shaped with guided trekking tours, mountain biking, horseback riding, or visits to local craft markets.
Location
The hotel is located in a privileged position directly at the historic and car-free main square Quadrado of Trancoso in the green state of Bahia. The nearest regional airport Terravista for private jets is only 7 kilometers away, while the main airport in Porto Seguro can be reached in about an hour by car. From there, there are convenient domestic connections to major metropolises like Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo, both of which can be reached in about 90 to 120 flight minutes.
