Brazilians refer to Bahia as the world capital of happiness, and Trancoso earned its legend as the region's most welcoming spot when globe-hopping hippies arrived in the 1970s and found they had no desire to ever leave.
Our concierge team also calls Trancoso home and has one mission - to share paradise.
Our concierge can plan UXUA Vida Spa treatments with rainforest ingredients, training sessions with experts in fitness, pilates or yoga, lessons in capoeira, forró dancing or samba, trips to exotic beaches or Pataxó reserves, reservations at acclaimed restaurants or little-known new entries on the local food scene.
For the adventurous this area is an eco-sports utopia with surf, kite-surf, stand-up, kayak, mountain biking, horseback riding, fishing or whale watching - all can be enjoyed with or without local guides.
At Maré, snorkelling equipment, paddle boards and kayaks are available for guests to explore the unique Itapororoca sea.
The UXUA Vida Lab explores the endless possibilities of the rich local flora and also offers classes like natural fermentation and kombuchas, chocolate made from scratch with cocoas from UXUA hardens and medical nutrition cooking class.
