Treatments inspired not only by nutritional science, but by this region’s folk medicine heritage and ancient healing practices of local Pataxó Indians.
UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa is in Brazil’s verdant and historic Bahia state, a magical spot where rainforest meets Atlantic mangrove and endless beaches. A perfect subtropical climate and warm ocean temperatures bless this area year-round.
Half UXUA’s casas here date back 500-years to the village’s founding. They were restored by designer Wilbert Das in collaboration with local artisans using traditional techniques and reclaimed materials.
These casas have a soul, each with legends and family history, every detail uniquely crafted by caring hands.
UXUA’s rustic beach lounge, Vida Spa & Lab, Quadrado restaurant and 5-star service complete the perfect holiday.
Guests can cure themselves with some aquatic therapy via a dip in UXUA’s one-of-a-kind crystal pool. The lake-like creation which appears to glow at certain hours of the day and evening is composed of 40,000 specimens of unique green aventurine quartz, a native Bahian stone held by many to possess powerful healing qualities.
Vida Signature Spa’s hand-made, all-natural range of spa products have been developed over ten years. They’re produced locally, many at our VIDA LAB on the hotel grounds, and contain native ingredients such as almescar oil, 100% virgin coconut oil, Brazil nuts, pitanga and assorted fruits, pink pepper seeds, wild palm oil, and dark cocoa grown in our own gardens.
