UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa is a collection of restored casas on the Quadrado, the grassy historic square at the heart of Trancoso. Each casa is built with local craft and reclaimed materials, with soulful design and a barefoot ease that captures the spirit of Bahia.

For travelers who collect special places.

Where you’ll be

Trancoso is a village on the southern coast of Bahia, Brazil, set on a bluff above long, empty beaches. In the evenings, the Quadrado fills with candlelit restaurants and shops, and day trips reach Praia do Espelho and the car-free village of Caraíva.

The stay

Casas are individually designed, with handmade furniture and natural materials. The hotel has a beach lounge on the sand below, a pool lined with aventurine quartz, and a spa.
