Luxury holidays in Bahia

Home to bustling cities – Salvador de Bahia, Ilhéus, Camacari – with a distinctly African vibe, stylish seaside resorts such as Trancoso and Arembepe, and a gorgeous forested interior, it offers everything a visitor to South America could possibly require. And more. If you want to party, the state is hedonism central. Home to capoeira, that leg-spinning, body-whirling dance-cum-martial art, Bahia sparks into life around Carnival time in February. Don’t miss it.

Destinations in Bahia

  • Resting along Brazil’s equatorial east coast, you’ll find the small sleepy surf town of Itacaré abutted by Bahia’s ethereal Cocoa Coast, home to swinging golden-bellied monkeys and the Atlantic’s sultry sheltered shores.
  • Discovered by Brazil’s hippy crowd in the 1970s, placid beach town Trancoso has managed to stay remarkably faithful to its liberal, small-town soul.
