WELCOME TO UXUA MARÉ
UXUA Maré is a slow-living nature retreat on a pristine stretch of Itapororoca beach, where Brazil’s Mata Atlântica meets the sea.
It lies just a short distance from the original UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa, in Trancoso’s historic quadrado. Three century-old houses, sourced from Minas Gerais, were carefully deconstructed and rebuilt here using reclaimed wood. Interiors are stylish but unfussy, layered with antiques, local art, and handcrafted pieces from Pataxó artisans.
Outside, monkeys, sloths, and parrots live in the trees, coral reefs lie just offshore, and a growing collection of rare palms and edible plants support this near self-sufficient retreat.
What we love about UXUA Maré
- The private casas, each with a different design: Casa Azul is perfect for couples with just one suite, while Casa Amarela and Casa Branca each have three suites, ideal for friends or family travelling together.
- The secluded setting on Itapororoca Beach, surrounded by rainforest and coral pools
- The sense of total privacy, yet just a short drive or walk from Trancoso’s historic town square.
- Wildlife everywhere, from parrots and monkeys to sloths and giant porcupines.
- A slow-growing vision of regenerative design, with reforestation and an on-site nursery for rare plants.
What to do at Uxua Maré
Wander along Itapororoca Beach, where low-tide coral pools attract tropical fish and local spearfishermen.
Watch for sagui monkeys, sloths, parrots, and teju lizards in the surrounding forest. Explore trails through restinga and mangroves, or visit Trancoso’s historic town square, just a short drive away, for artisan boutiques and vibrant local life.
At the property itself, spend afternoons by your private pool, surrounded by the sounds of the forest, or join reforestation efforts and learn about native plants at the on-site nursery.
When to Travel
The best time to visit is from November to March, during Bahia’s dry season, when days are warm (averaging 25–30°C) and skies are clear. Perfect for beach walks, swimming, and exploring the forest trails.
From April to June, light rains make the landscape even lusher, with quieter beaches and fewer visitors. July to September can bring occasional heavier rain and cooler evenings, though wildlife spotting remains excellent year-round.
