Praia do Forte, Villa 16

If having a home to call your own in Praia do Forte is already a guarantee of days spent in the shade and by the water, imagine what it’s like when that retreat captures the relaxed and authentic atmosphere of Bahia.

Located in the Praia Bella condominium, Villa 16 is exactly that: soaring ceilings, plenty of natural light, wood everywhere, and a breeze that flows freely through the rooms.

With seven suites, the house was designed for slowing down alongside special people. Whether in the spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, the pool surrounded by greenery, the sauna, or the lounge chairs scattered throughout the garden, everything invites you to enjoy the privilege of spending a leisurely season in Bahia.

The beach is just a few minutes away—you can get there by bike or electric cart—and the gated community also features a restaurant, a pool, and sports courts.

But the truth is this: leaving this cozy retreat is no easy task.

Serra da Mantiqueira, Villa 15
