Inside UXUA Hotel's Experimental Food Lab in Brazil
"A boutique collection of repurposed colonial casas located in the heart of Trancoso, Bahia, built from houses that have been part of the local community for decades. Some of the casas sit directly on the grassy quadrado that serves as the town’s nighttime hub, and each unit has a distinct personality and design — for example, one house features clean white walls and furniture, indigo-blue accents, a private garden, and a plunge pool. The overall vibe is intimate and bohemian rather than resort-style, with a strong focus on sustainability and celebrating ingredients sourced from the nearby coast and Atlantic rainforest. Culinary programming, events, and spa treatments are all tied into this ethos, and the property regularly hosts food-focused gatherings that bring together producers, chefs, residents, and visitors to explore local ingredients and sustainable food systems." - Merlyn Miller
