Txai Itacaré; spend a luxurious and relaxing vacation in a paradisical ecosystem, unique in Brazil!
The Txai Resort in Brazil, an exclusive place in Bahia
On the coast of the Bahia province, 150km south of the capital, Salvador, the seaside resort of Itacaré spreads out on the estuary of the Rio de Contas. It’s a rare landscape of fine sandy beaches interspersed with coves, steep cliffs and tropical forests. Itacaré turned to ecotourism following the destruction of its cocoa plantations by a parasitic fungus in the early 1980s. Today, this exclusive Brazilian seaside resort treats its guests to a mixture of bohemian relaxation and the pleasure of a completely preserved natural landscape, the perfect vacation in Bahia.
To make your holiday an exceptional one, we have chosen the most exclusive establishment in this region for your stay, the Txai Itacaré Resort.

With its 38 bungalows and apartments spread over almost 1 million square meters and shaded by coconut palms and the Atlantic Forest, this resort ensures tranquility and privacy in an exceptional setting, topped with outstanding services.
On site, you can enjoy the immense and beautiful beach that borders the Txai Itacaré. The resort’s sports facilities include 2 large swimming pools and a tennis court, and also an initiation lesson to capoeira or surfing.

Txai resort in Itacaré, where the jungle meets the ocean
While enjoying your vacation at the Txai resort you will have a golden opportunity to explore an area of exceptional biodiversity and rare geology.
The coastline’s fertile soil allows the “Mata Atlantica” – one of the last vestiges of this primitive Atlantic forest – to spread down to the sea.
Taking the form of peculiar clusters on the beach or completely covering the cliffs, this exuberant jungle seems to want to throw itself into the blue waves of the ocean. It delicately carves the coastline into lost coves with bright white sandy beaches which are a beautiful contrast to the lush vegetation and provide an ideal setting for long hours of sunbathing.
The isolated Txai Resort beach is several kms long and in the middle of this lost paradise. It therefore offers long relaxing walks, pleasantly accompanied by the refreshing trade winds. Just a few minutes walk away from the hotel complex, you will find paradisical scenery hidden among coconut and palm trees.
For surfing enthusiasts, it is possible to have lessons at the Txai Resort and enjoy the scenery in trying out this sport, with spots offering perfect surfing conditions.
An ideal destination for a “green” vacation in Brazil
In such an environment, a simple walk in the surrounding forest can become a magical experience.
Each moment will gradually reveal the wonders of the tropical nature that reigns over this region.
There are two advantages to hiring a local guide, either from the hotel or from one of the travel agents in Itacaré : You won’t have to worry about getting lost so don´t have to keep to the main tracks. And the guide will show you many interesting things, whether it be animals, plants or viewpoints, so that you get the most out of your walks.
For those really looking for “green tourism” and wanting more active excursions, the APA ecological reserve of Serra Grande and the Regional Park of the Serra do Conduru are obvious destinations. Going to visit these local biodiversity sanctuaries will be an opportunity to take hiking trails into the heart of the jungle and to discover an ecosystem over 60 million years old!
The charming village of Itacaré an authentic Bahian atmosphere
It is possible to visit Itacaré (17kms away) by ordering a taxi at the hotel reception or by joining one of the optional hotel tours to the village.
Founded in 1532, at the start of the Portuguese colonization, this little village has a long history. Originally, the mouth of the De Contas River (river of pearls) formed a perfect bay for Portuguese and Dutch pirate ships raiding the region, laying anchor here very often. Later on the village harbor existed thanks to whaling.
But it was at the start of the 20th century that Itacaré grew a little more with the cultivation of cocoa. Today, it is a modest fishing and farming village very typical in this area with coloured houses and cobbled streets. The authenticity of the village makes it worth a visit, daily life is locked in the traditions of the Bahian coastline.
If you are looking for entertainment in the evening, relax “Bahian style” in the village bars and restaurants. You can dance to the rhythms of the regional Samba or Axé music or Samba-Reggae, a local specialty. Do not forget to taste a “capeta,” an invigorating local cocktail made with guarana; an ideal way to enjoy your evening after a long day of sunny beaches and forest walks.
