Across the bay of Salvador and down the
coast, Morro Sao Paulo is an island and
village, with an old colonial fort and
miles of pristine beaches, a tranquil
paradise of swaying palm trees and small
farms. There are no paved roads and
only a few beach buggies; people wander
barefoot on the sandy tracks, walk the
coconut groves or trek inland, to the top
of the hill and along the coast. The clear,
shallow sea waters of the bays are ideal
to swim, sunbathe, unwind and snorkel.
Vila Guaiamú First
Set in the cool, quiet shade of rustling
coconut palms, this hotel has 22
comfortable air conditioned
bungalow/rooms, with TV, minibar
and a veranda with hammock. There
is a covered terrace with a restaurant
and bar, TV lounge and an area for
reading and games. Inside the hotel
grounds guests can enjoy ecological
walks and appreciate the natural
beauty of Morro São Paulo.
Txai Resort Deluxe
This luxurious resort is dedicated to
comfort and tranquility in a pristine
setting of landscaped gardens and lush
lawns set among coconut groves along
the beach. Lying two hours north of
Ilhéus, on the Cacao Coast, the
accommodation consists of 10 rooms
and 30 spacious bungalows built from
local natural materials, mounted on
stilts with thatched roofs, wooden
balconies and sea views.
There is a swimming pool and a
restaurant built in traditional Bahían
style with a fine view out to sea,
serving local cuisine with specialities
such as ‘moqueca’.
Activities - You can enjoy tennis,
surfing, cycling, horse riding and
trekking in the Atlantic coastal forest,
kayaking on its rivers and swimming in
its freshwater pools. Alternatively visit
the small nearby town of Itacaré, an
old colonial town whose prosperity
was derived from cacao plantations.
The coastline here has cliffs and retains
large areas of Atlantic forest because
cacao requires shade to grow.
Spa - The spa is situated in a serene
hilltop retreat with its own pool and
panoramic vistas over the beach,
coconut groves and sea. It’s an ideal
setting with Oriental silence to restore
your vitality and sense of inner peace
through yoga, Japanese baths, massage
and other revitalising treatments.
