Two magnificent mansions come together to create Villa Bahia, a colonial gem located in the heart of Salvador’s historic quarter.
In Pelourinho’s heart, a UNESCO-listed historic quarter lies Villa Bahia. Two colonial homes from the 17th & 18th centuries, remnants of the Portuguese era, have been remodelled; with 17 uniquely themed rooms, featuring double-height French doors or private balconies, feel transported back to the Golden Age of Salvador.

The musical & spiritual capital of Brazil, Salvador is a melting pot of African, Caribbean & European cultures.
At Villa Bahia, you’ll be located in the beating heart of the city’s historic district. Step outside & experience the vibrant hustle and bustle for yourself, from live bands playing on street corners to locals practising Capoeira, an acrobatic martial art. Sample delicious local dishes like moqueta, a mouthwatering fish-and-seafood stew in coconut sauce. After a day of exploring, take a refreshing dip in Villa Bahia’s pool & take in panoramic views as the sun sets over the roof terrace.
Villa Bahia is located in the historic quarter of Salvador, a 30-minute drive from Salvador’s international airport.
Salvador’s airport has direct flights to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
