Pousada Estrela D’Água BAHIA, BRAZIL


In the magnetic district of Trancoso, in the southern part of Brazil’s Bahia state, the enchanting Pousada Estrela D’Água has provided a haven for more than two decades. The history of the region is integral to that of Brazil, as it was here that the Portuguese first arrived in the country, in 1500. Trancoso is one of the most charming villages in southern Bahia; a truly exceptional place in the middle of breathtaking landscapes. Golden beaches, emerald sea, Atlantic rainforest and a respect for the ecosystem shape this picturesque spot. The allure of the village — with its array of colourful fishermen’s houses — comes through in the stores, bars and restaurants that light up its central space, the Quadrado, at night. Enveloped by gardens and the ancient Atlantic


Forest, this boutique accommodation offers 28 exquisitely appointed suites and bungalows, seamlessly blending opulence with the innate beauty of nature. Each space is a testament to the region’s magnetism, with 20 units featuring private green spaces, and eight expansive bungalows with exclusive amenities such as private pools, hot tubs and pergolas adorned with hammocks.


Inside, guests are greeted by an ambience defined


by simplicity and thoughtful design, inviting them to unwind and feel at home amid the tranquil surroundings. Beyond its idyllic setting and personalised service, Pousada Estrela D’Água offers experiences that cater to diverse interests, blending relaxation with adventure and cultural immersion. From leisurely strolls along nearby Nativos Beach to thrilling activities such as kayaking and quad biking, there’s something to delight every visitor. The hotel presents two exceptional dining options: Bar da Costa exudes a laid-back, contemporary vibe, while Aldeia de São João offers a romantic ambience perfect for dining under the stars. Moreover, the hotel’s amenities extend beyond


mere indulgence, with facilities such as a gym designed by renowned personal trainer Cau Saad, allowing guests to prioritise their wellbeing during their stay. Travellers with children and pet owners can appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere and pet-friendly policy, while golf enthusiasts will find themselves conveniently close to Terravista Golf Course, among the best of its kind in Latin America.
