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 hundreds of 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 Vida Spa & Lab, Quadrado restaurant and 5-star service complete the perfect holiday.
