Serra Grande, Villa 01

 There is no way to arrive at the Serra Grande house, a novelty in our collection, and not feel good when crossing the gate of this refuge right on the sand in a unique region of Bahia, the feeling is of being inside a protected, half-secret, totally magical place.

 Inside, you will find a sanctuary woven into the area’s wild beauty. Constructed entirely from bamboo and reclaimed wood, Villa 1 is spread across a large property connected by a charming walkway. This path leads you to five private bungalows and a thatched-roof oca, which is at the heart of the property. Here, you can unwind in a cosy, inviting atmosphere, perfect for lingering conversations, sipping pre-dinner drinks, or enjoying a game of cards with friends. 

 In front of the communal area, a large deck boasts a pool with breathtaking sea views, creating an idyllic setting to escape the outside world. A short stroll leads you to the beach, where a hidden viewpoint awaits, complete with sun loungers and an outdoor shower—ideal for stargazing under the vast night sky. The villa’s prime location on a secluded beach ensures absolute privacy. 

 Another highlight of this refuge is the space called Capelinha, which offers a range of health and wellness experiences, from invigorating yoga sessions to fitness training. Always smiling and attentive, the exceptional staff enhance your stay by preparing delicious meals, from freshly baked breakfast breads to beautifully presented paellas for lunch. 

 For those adventurous enough to leave this paradise, a wealth of activities await. Explore the surrounding forests, take a boat trip to an enchanting lagoon, or take a refreshing dip in nearby waterfalls. You can also wander through the charming village of Serra Grande, with its laid-back, bohemian vibe and timeless allure.

Taguaíba, Villa 21

The inspiration for the construction of this villa was a rare vinyl by Dorival Caymmi – one of Brazil’s most influential singer-songwriters – recorded in the 1950s and cherished by the owners. But the moment you step inside, it all becomes clear: this collector’s gem has inspired a home filled with Brazilian soul and an irresistibly laid-back charm. 

The beachfront location is a highlight: the villa sits on a beachfront plot in one of the most secluded corners of Praia dos Pinheiros, within a gated condominium, just a few kilometres from São Paulo. With the sea as the star of the setting, every part of the house has been thoughtfully designed to frame the view. Even the gourmet kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room. The tropical landscaping embraces the scenery without blocking the ocean views, despite the lush greenery. 

And the local caiçara culture shines through in many of the decorative features – with light tones, paddles hung on the walls, and other seaside elements -which retain a cosy and comfortable feel. 

From the five suites to the TV room, every space is delightful. Not to mention the outdoor area: there is a swimming pool, sauna,  a pergola with hammocks, and a fire pit perfect for warm, fire-lit evenings. From beginning to end, this is the beach house of our dreams.

Trancoso Villa 52

To begin with the light that invades every part of the house, it’s impossible to not feel enchanted by our Trancoso Villa. The garden has a striking presence from wherever you look and helps the villa to become a true refuge.

With a lot of “bossa” and an unpretentious decoration, the house resembles a bit of Mykonos and Ibiza but don’t let aside authentic elements of the Brazilian culture. Like the “taubilha” roof, a typical material from Bahia that seals the living room height. And if the idea is to bring together groups of friends, the atmosphere can become more breadth if you open the two doors that separates the bar and the kitchen.

As a view, the terrace and charming straw nets, an old wooden deck and the house main character: a swimming pool that embraces the green vegetation. At the surrounding, the 5 ensuite bedrooms with minimalist style and its gardens.

The location is also special: located inside the Altos de Trancoso condo, with all the security and exclusivity that your holidays require, but close enough to the city center (Quadrado) for those nights you feel like partying.
