Like stepping into an exotic edition of Architectural Digest, each of Etnia’s five bungalows will transport you to a different far off land. Step into the Arabian Nights in the Maroccos Suite or lose yourself in the African inspired Tribal Suite. If you prefer the local Brazilian flavor, the Trancoso Suite’s rustic style will feel like home.
Surrounded by banana, mango and Pau Brasil trees, Etnia Pousada enjoys a unique location. Close enough to Trancoso’s Quadrado to enjoy festive Brazilian nights and close enough to the ocean for an early morning dip before breakfast.
A modern swimming pool surrounded by a wooden sun deck is the perfect place to enjoy your afternoon snack or a light meal. Take a yoga class in the afternoon or luxuriate with a relaxing massage in the Etnia Therapy Center.
Services: Restaurant, pool and bar, antique boutique shop

Set among a 100 hectare coconut grove, Txai Resort’s private bungalows offer guests the ultimate in laid back sophistication and barefoot luxury. The flavor and colors of Brazil are everywhere here from the mesmerizing sea views to the unspoiled Atlantic Rainforest. Enjoy exploring the endless secluded beaches, trekking to waterfalls, horse back riding, surfing or a game of tennis.
Txai’s restaurant features the same Bahian delicacies made famous by Brazil’s beloved literary giant – Jorge Amado in “Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands.” Savor the flavors of a “moqueca de peixe”, fish stewed with coconut milk, or the Bahian shrimp favorite, “Bobó de Camarão” all the while taking in the breathtaking natural setting.
Rooms: 10 Suites and 16 private bungalows. 5 bungalows with jacuzzi, built individually on stilts and surrounded by wooden decks spread out among the coconut groves to ensure maximum privacy. 1 triple bungalow accommodates up to 8 guests in three adjoining suites – the largest of which is a loft with mezzanine, accommodating up to 4 guests.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain
