About Arraial d'Ajuda

What are the best hotels in Arraial d'Ajuda?

Arraial d'Ajuda stretches along a beautiful section of Bahia’s coast, with wide golden beaches, tropical greenery and a colourful old village centred around the historic Nossa Senhora d’Ajuda church. There are plenty of relaxed beach hotels and small boutique stays, but Maitei Hotel is our favourite.
