Tauana | Bahia | Brazil

The epitome of eco-chic, Tauana is set on a blissfully beautiful beach on Brazil’s unspoilt northeast coast. Stylish design meets conservation in this boutique beach retreat

Perfect for… those who like their luxury barefoot.

Where… on an unspoilt stretch of coastline in exotic Bahia, Northeast Brazil.

And the rooms… just nine individual bungalows built in the traditional Bahian style with palm-thatched roofs and private terraces. Enormous French windows let plenty of Brazilian sunshine into minimalist rooms with luxurious touches.

Food and facilities…  food is fresh, organic and most of it grown on the farm or caught from the sea. Diving, snorkelling, canoes and fishing trips are all on offer – but we bet you’ll be busy doing nothing.

Activities… apart from the beach you mean? You can hire a canoe for a paddle through the mangrove, visit a local village or take a walk through the jungle.

In the know… there’s no pool, but we think you’ll find the warm, turquoise sea is a good enough alternative.
