Restored casas on Trancoso's historic Quadrado, a short walk from the beach, for a village-style Bahia wedding.
The Setting
UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa is set on the Quadrado in Trancoso, the village square in southern Bahia that sits on a hilltop above the Atlantic and is protected by UNESCO. Instead of a single hotel building, guests stay in individual casas, each with its own name and character.
The official site lists 15 casas, from Casa da Árvore to Casa do Lago, set in gardens around a mosaic pool. Down by the sea there is a rustic beach lounge among the mangroves, and the UXUA Vida Spa looks after downtime. The scale is small and the feel is village rather than resort.
The day itself
UXUA does not publish wedding details, but the venue confirms it can host up to 100 guests, so start the conversation early. The Quadrado itself is the obvious draw, with outdoor dining on the square, and the beach lounge gives a second setting by the sea. Ask the team whether ceremonies can be held at the casas or on the beach, who handles the catering and what the rules are for music in the evening, given the historic square around you.
Where your guests stay
With around 15 casas, a small wedding party can stay together on site. For bigger groups, ask the team where in Trancoso they suggest guests book.
Guests can split their time between the mosaic pool, the spa and the beach lounge, and the Quadrado is right outside the door for an evening stroll. Porto Seguro Airport is about 38 km away, roughly an hour by car, so arrange transfers ahead for anyone arriving late in the day.
Ask about holding your welcome drinks at the beach lounge. Sundowners among the mangroves the night before is the easiest way to get both families talking.
