LA VILLA BAHIA, SALVADOR
A HISTORIC POUSADA IN SALVADOR’S OLD TOWN
In the heart of Salvador’s UNESCO-listed centre, La Villa Bahia reflects the city’s Portuguese heritage while keeping things relaxed and personal. The hotel spans two 17th and 18th-century mansions arranged around shaded patios, with a small outdoor pool for cooling off after exploring the cobbled streets.
A communal rooftop terrace, reached by elevator, brings broad views across Pelourinho; several rooms also feature private terraces. Inside, 17 individually styled rooms and suites draw on chapters of maritime history, with timber floors, antiques and bold colour. Step outside to museums, galleries, music venues and the ornate São Francisco Church, all within a short walk.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
