About Trancoso. This location, called by many a paradise on earth, is where Wilbert Das restored four antique casas and built an additional six in collaboration with local artisans using traditional building methods and repurposed materials. The result is an exceptional, intimate and hidden hotel providing discerning travelers with rustic-chic accommodations and world-class services.
The hotel has no signage and merges harmoniously into the village. Trancoso has a private airstrip a minute drive from Uxua Casa hotel. The hotel can arrange landings and departures day or night.
Some casas include private plunge pools, jacuzzis, hanging terraces, as well as private dining space on the historic Quadrado. Any meal can be enjoyed at the poolside restaurant or beach lounge, or can be taken seated at a rustic table on the Quadrado, or in-casa. Nine UXUA Casas contain kitchens and guests can cook any time, if desired in the company of local chefs happy to teach the joys of Bahian cooking. From the most local and traditional to sophisticated fusion and international options, the atmosphere is intimate and rustic, with most restaurants just a short walk from UXUA in the cozy Quadrado setting.
