While most visitors to Brazil put sexy Rio, the historically rich Salvador, and the natural beauty of Iguassu Falls on their short list, we suggest adding a visit to the exquisite Txai Resort on Bahia’s undeveloped Cacoa coast to make your list complete.

Set amongst coconut groves and the Atlantic rainforest, this stylish eco-resort is arguably one of Brazil’s finest properties. Txai (pronounced chai) is a blend of barefoot luxury and chic sophistication and evokes complete relaxation: individually thatched bungalows are positioned with gorgeous seaside views and hidden amongst coconut groves for total exclusivity; pristine beaches await you just a stone’s throw away; six heavenly pools dot the property standing by for a spontaneous soak; and the Shamash Healing (Spa)ce sits perched on a nearby hill ready to enhance your state of well-being.

For those seeking adventure, Txai’s location proves an excellent launching point to discover the savage beauty of the outdoors. Daily excursions include beach and rainforest hikes, discovering local waterfalls, horseback riding, river rafting, and surfing the refreshing waves. To add some local flavor, the small town of Itacaré is developing slowly, allowing it to keep its original charm and colorful cultural ways. Just twenty minutes down the road, a visit offers ample photographic and shopping opportunities.

A rejuvenated state of well-being awaits you just one hour from Ilheus airport. Please contact our South America specialist, Brooke Garnett, to discuss a customized itinerary that includes Brazil and the Txai Resort.
