UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa

UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa, a boutique hotel in the Quadrado of Trancoso

UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa is a boutique property located in the Quadrado of Trancoso, in the state of Bahia (Brazil). The Quadrado is a raised, grass-covered colonial square protected by UNESCO, with views over the Atlantic Ocean. The property presents itself as a collection of houses with history: according to its own description, half of UXUA's houses date back to the founding of the village, hundreds of years ago.

Historic houses restored using traditional techniques

The houses were restored by designer Wilbert Das in collaboration with local artisans, using traditional techniques and reclaimed materials. The website stresses that each house has its own identity, tied to legends and family histories, and that every detail was crafted by caring hands.

Accommodations: from one to three suites

The accommodation portfolio is organized into houses with different numbers of suites:

• 1-suite houses: Cerâmica, Estúdio, Quintal, Seu Pedrinho, Seu Irênio, Terraço do Céu, Casa da Árvore, Seu João and Zé e Zilda.
• 2-suite houses: Gulab Mahal, Eugênia, Casinha and Casa Das Artes.
• 3-suite houses: Casa Luz and Casa do Lago.

The offering is completed by the Casas Maré and Casas Alma categories.

Vida Spa, beach lounge and open-air dining

The hotel has the UXUA Vida Spa and a rustic-style beach lounge set among the mangroves. It also offers al fresco dining in the Quadrado and a five-star service described as warm and welcoming, provided by the people of Trancoso.

Craftsmanship, art and community

The offering includes the Beach, Arts & Artisans and Community sections, which reflect the project's connection with local craftsmanship and the community of Trancoso.

Origins of the project

The website explains that those behind it left the world of major design companies to settle in Trancoso, drawn by the authenticity of the place, its history, its nature and its culture. Wilbert Das, described as the project's leader, first arrived in 2004 and maintains a personal commitment to life in Bahia, work and philanthropy. UXUA is presented as a way of sharing that experience with the world.
