Casita, Uxua Casa Hotel, Trancoso, Brazil

Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa

Beach and Island Escapes
Bahia Beaches, Brazil

Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa is a rustic-chic style property set in a privileged location just off the Quadrado (square) of Trancoso. The hotel has 10 unique Casas for guests to stay in, four of which are restored homes of fishermen and so combine the traditional, colourful coastal architecture with modern decor.

The other six casas are located within the gardens, one of which is actually built in a tree. As well as beautiful rooms, there is a spa, gym, swimming pool and beach lounge created from old fishing boats. The hotel’s restaurant serves fresh, locally-sourced Brazilian cuisine with a focus on the excellent seafood available along the Bahian coast. Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa offers exceptional service with style.

Why we like Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa

What is there not to like about this property? It definitely has the “wow” factor. The most luxurious option in Trancoso with an exclusive feel and a high level of service and attention to detail.
