"A coastal boutique hotel that serves as a practical base for wildlife viewing and outdoor activities such as kayaking, surfing, and biking thanks to its close proximity to the Atlantic coast." - Emmanuel Burgio
"At this Trancoso stay, guests receive illustrated postcards depicting Brazilian portraits and landscapes designed by a local illustrator as a complimentary memento of their visit." - Cat Sposato
"Surrounded by dense rainforest and teetering high on a ridge overlooking the powder-sand-fringed Atlantic, Uxua fits right into the post-hippie utopia of Trancoso. Working with local artisans, Dutch owner Wilbert Das (Diesel’s former creative director) has turned the hotel into a collection of rustic renovated casas, cottages, an intimate treehouse, and a tribal-inspired spa. All are cloaked by hummingbird-flecked tropical gardens and centered around a pool lined with green aventurine quartz, which, for those not up on their healing crystals, is said to be very therapeutic. Interiors are haute-boho: roomy indoor-outdoor sitting rooms and airy living spaces with dazzling-white walls and muslin-canopied beds, accented with lots of reclaimed wood, antiques, and vintage finds including brightly painted Virgin Mary statuettes. A decked path runs through mangrove forests to the beach, where there are enormous day beds for post-breakfast snoozing and a beach bar fashioned from an old fishing boat—just stay horizontal and another Caipirinha will soon find its way to you." - CNT Editors
"Uxua is a beautiful exercise in sustainability. Furniture and art pieces are handcrafted, food is fresh and locally sourced, and profits are reinvested in the local community."
"A quietly upscale property in Trancoso, Brazil, offering a blend of bohemian cool and luxury. It features historic renovated bungalows along the Quadrado and a beach club at Uxua Praia." - Pilar Guzmán
