Txai Resort Itacaré

It is on the Cocoa Coast, in southern Bahia, that you come across a gleaming pearl in the sand. With three kilometers of deserted beach, crystal clear ocean waters and an extensive coconut grove, the local has a knack for calming racing hearts. It is with genuine sympathy that we are welcomed at this “Relais & Châteaux” member installed in an Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve. Bungalows overlooking the sea and the forest feature light constructions made with native raw materials such as piaçava (natural ber extracted from some species of palm trees) and splint of palm oil trees. High on the hill, the Shamash Spa o ers local traditional treatments, such as the Puri cation Ritual. In the kitchen, Bahian avors are harmonized with techniques of haute cuisine in dishes that feature organic ingredients produced by Txai Companions Institute (program with the local community). To add to the wonders, if you’re lucky, while walking on the beach, you might witness baby turtles heading for their rst swim, which have their nests protected by the Txaitaruga project.
