Authenticity is the greatest luxury a visit to Brazil's picturesque and historic Bahia state can offer.

And no place delivers the experience like Trancoso's Quadrado, its car-free, UNESCO-protected town square.

Half UXUA's casas here date back 500-years to the village's founding. They were restored by designer Wilbert Das in collaboration with local artisans using traditional techniques and reclaimed materials.

These casas have a soul, each with legends and family history, every detail uniquely crafted by caring hands.

UXUA's rustic beach lounge, Vida Spa & Lab, Quadrado restaurant and 5-star service complete the perfect holiday.
