Pousada Jacarandá

Top choice in Bahia


This ecofriendly guesthouse features six freestanding bungalows built with natural, locally sourced materials, plus a lovely swimming pool and art-filled interiors. It's a short walk from both the Quadrado and the beach, but the quiet location is a benefit if you're looking to relax.
