Uxua Alma
Contemporary casas meet Trancoso traditions









With seven villas situated throughout Trancoso’s historic Quadrado and along the remote Espelho Beach, Uxua Alma has become the latest treat for global sybarites heading to the Brazilian coast.
Merging Bahia’s natural beauty and the region’s rustic traditions, each property has been carefully curated by local artisans, with a focus on nature and sustainability. The result includes furniture built from reclaimed fishing boats and sails, handmade ceramics, Pataxó Indian crafts and fruit tree gardens, among others.
Most memorable of the properties is without doubt Casa Anderson. The 400sq m villa with a tetraptych design and pièce de résistance treehouse is considered one of South America’s most acclaimed residences and an homage to the Trancoso of today and yesteryear.
