Pousada Tutabel

Located on the quiet outskirts of trendy Bahia beach town Trancoso, Pousada Tutabel is an intimate, bare-foot luxury hotel, with the feel of a private beach house. Sitting on the edge of Itapororoca Beach, there are 18 airy and bright suites which all come with the calming sound of waves on the beach just a few metres away. All suites and residences have king-size beds, Trousseau sheets, towels and bathrobes, locally made and 100% natural soaps, air conditioning, a safe and a minibar. Hotel facilities include a swimming pool, a gym and sauna. On the beach guests can enjoy stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkelling, surfing and bodyboarding, as well as beach tennis.

As well as beach activities, birdwatching and star gazing tours are available, plus a special “It comes from the Earth” sensory forest tour for kids which shows how everyday things are connected to the earth. Food plays a central role in Bahian culture and at Pousada Tutabel the gastronomy is infused with local flavours, colours and aromas. Ingredients are sourced from local farms with a preference for organic, seasonal produce.
