Bahia's southern coast can transport visitors through Brazil's 500 years of history with its colonial villages and preserved rainforests.

At a short walk from Trancoso's historical town square sits Itapororoca Beach, one of the region's most stunning beaches thanks to its long stretch of white sand, transparent ocean and coral reefs that form pools of tropical fish when the tide is low.

A few steps from the sand sits our 15 acre Atlantic Rainforest reserve, home to the brand new UXUA Maré where designer Wilbert Das and his team of talented artisans carefully rebuilt 3 antique farm houses transplanted from Minas Gerais neighboring state.

Each house has a unique past and found a new life as sanctuaries of relaxation, complemented by a rustic beach lounge, outdoor gym, al fresco dining at Mesa Maré restaurant and the friendly 5-star service UXUA is known for.
