Barracuda Hotel & Villas BAHIA, BRAZIL


Exclusivity, local knowledge and native roots are the hallmarks of the authentic lifestyle that Barracuda Hotel & Villas embodies. This luxury hotel occupies an enviable location on the clifftops of Praia do Resende, just a short walk from the picturesque town of Itacaré in Brazil’s Bahia state. The hotel’s story began 20 years ago, when a group of Swedish friends arrived in Itacaré on a surfing trip and fell in love with the local people and culture. The connection between Scandinavia and Brazil is at the core of this unique hotel, a refuge that reflects the relaxed style of Bahia through integrative architecture, modern design, a focus on sustainability and a vital connection to nature. This hotel has 17 suites — all with balconies


offering views of the sea and forest — and nine spectacular villas with facilities for families and groups of friends. The property sprawls across 26 acres of Bahia wilderness, and boasts rustic design elements combined with untamed Brazilian nature. The Barracuda team embodies the authenticity and warmth of Itacaré’s people through their heartfelt, world-class hospitality.


The hotel’s restaurant and bar are located next to


the infinity pool. Guests can enjoy signature drinks while indulging in delicious dishes combining traditional Bahian recipes and contemporary Scandinavian flavours. Most dishes are based around fresh produce and prepared using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The rooftop lounge and bar’s 360-degree views


are perfect for making the most of the sunsets with a cocktail in hand. Itacaré’s natural beauty fosters moments of


relaxation and connection, encouraging guests to explore waterfalls, beaches, cocoa farms and mangroves. A yoga and workout deck amid the trees is the perfect spot for meditation, yoga practice or personal workouts. The hotel also features a tennis and padel court. The conservation of local biodiversity and


cultural traditions is championed by the Yandê Itacaré Institute, a non-profit association founded by the owners of Barracuda Hotel & Villas in 2021 to promote entrepreneurial education and encourage community-based initiatives.
