Jungle & Sea – A Bahian Retreat | 6 days

Upon landing at Ilhéus Airport, you’ll be greeted by our dedicated transfer service for a scenic 1.5-hour drive along the coast to Barracuda Villas. Located in a privileged spot surrounded by lush vegetation and facing the sea, Barracuda offers a sophisticated yet relaxed retreat designed for travelers seeking privacy, comfort, and inspiration.

Check in, settle into your elegant villa, and let the rhythm of Bahia set the tone.

Start your day with the Cioba Boat Trip, a journey that captures the essence of the Barracuda lifestyle. A beautifully crafted wooden boat, guided by a local crew, departs from the Itacaré shoreline and takes you along the stunning Rio de Contas.

Through warm and genuine Bahian hospitality, this experience offers an immersion into the wild nature of Itacaré and creates space for meaningful connections among those traveling with intention.

Cruise through the mangroves, take a refreshing dip in a secluded waterfall, and enjoy a rustic fish meal freshly prepared onboard or right on the sand.

Wake up to the sound of birds and the scent of the sea breeze. This day is dedicated to enjoying everything Barracuda Villas has to offer — an atmosphere where laid-back luxury meets curated experiences.

Indulge in gourmet breakfasts featuring fresh local fruits and handmade delicacies. Spend your days lounging by the pool, enjoying the panoramic views of Praia do Resende, or exploring nearby beaches like Tiririca and Ribeira. For those seeking adventure, the hotel can arrange personalized surf lessons, jungle hikes, and boat trips to hidden waterfalls.

After a final morning at Barracuda, it’s time for the next chapter of your escape. A private transfer will take you north along the coast to Txai Resort, a haven of wellness and barefoot luxury nestled in a coconut grove by the sea.

Txai is not just a hotel, it’s an invitation to slow down and reconnect. With architecture that blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings, this exclusive retreat is committed to sustainability, comfort, and holistic well-being.

Your full day at Txai is a celebration of peace and presence. Start with a sunrise yoga session or a serene walk along the deserted beach. Enjoy a breakfast made with organic ingredients from the resort’s own gardens, then choose how to shape your day.

Pamper yourself with a treatment at the Shamash Healing Space, a sanctuary of wellness perched on a hilltop with panoramic ocean views. Alternatively, explore the lush surroundings with a guided hike through the Atlantic Forest or simply unwind under the shade of a palm tree.

On your final morning, enjoy a slow breakfast and one last barefoot walk by the sea before your transfer back to Ilhéus Airport.

As you say goodbye to Itacaré, you’ll carry more than just photos and souvenirs. You’ll take with you a feeling of serenity, connection, and a deep appreciation for one of Brazil’s most enchanting regions. A journey through the senses, the landscapes, and the soul.
