UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa sits on the Quadrado, Trancoso's UNESCO-protected colonial square in Bahia, a grassy clifftop plaza looking out over the Atlantic. The address is Praça São João Batista, in the Porto Seguro area of Trancoso.
Half of the property's casas date back hundreds of years to the village's founding. Designer Wilbert Das restored them with local artisans, using traditional building techniques and reclaimed materials, so each house carries its own history and handcrafted detail rather than a uniform hotel look.
Beyond the casas, the property includes a rustic beach lounge set among mangroves, the UXUA Vida Spa, and al fresco dining right on the Quadrado. The setting is classified as waterfront and secluded, with mountain views, and the experience leans toward couples looking for a quiet, design-driven stay rather than a high-volume resort.
This is a luxury-tier property (price tier 4), reflecting the scale of restoration work and personalized service rather than a published nightly rate. Reservations and rate details are handled directly through the hotel at uxua.com or by phone at (73) 3668-2277.
