Salvador da Bahia, Brazil: Villa Bahia Hotel. Step into the soul of Salvador at Villa Bahia, a boutique hotel set in two beautifully restored mansions from the 17th and 18th centuries. Nestled in Pelourinho, the city’s vibrant historic district and a UNESCO World Heritage site, this charming pousada immerses you in the rich culture, colors, and rhythms of Bahia.

Each of our 17 uniquely designed rooms reflects a chapter in the Portuguese maritime expansion across Africa and Asia, a journey that shaped Bahia’s identity. Expect canopy beds, antique furniture, high ceilings, and wide wooden floors, all bathed in natural light and bold Bahian hues. Modern comforts like WiFi, TV, air conditioning, a safe, and a hairdryer ensure a seamless stay. Some rooms even feature private terraces for a more exclusive retreat.

Head up to the third floor terrace for a panoramic view of Pelourinho’s rooftops and historic church steeples. Sun loungers invite you to soak up the atmosphere, while a refreshing outdoor shower keeps things cool.

At the back of each mansion, you will find lush green courtyards, one set up for breakfast and bar service, the other home to a tranquil plunge pool. These patios, furnished with tables and chairs, offer a peaceful escape and direct access to the cozy reading lounge.

Start your day with a delightful breakfast buffet or a la carte options, then return for a taste of Bahia’s culinary heritage at our in-house restaurant, serving lunch and dinner. The Lobby Bar is the perfect spot to unwind. At Villa Bahia, you are not just visiting Salvador, you are living it.
