Top 6 Bahia Resorts (2026)

The state of Bahia runs along Brazil’s north eastern shoreline, and boasts long sandy beaches, calm blue water, fishing villages and historic towns. It’s a great base for some of the best beach resorts in the country; you’ll find everything from laid back eco-resorts to modern beachfront stays and simple places that offer good value without skimping on location. Whether you want a full-service resort with all the bells and whistles, or a low key spot near the sea, Bahia makes it easy to find somewhere that suits your style and budget.

For a romantic break

• Hidden on the wild stretch of Praia de Saquaíra, Butterfly House Bahia has just a handful of Moroccan and Bahian inspired huts, all with bold colours, carved wood and spacious terraces. Days mean yoga and beach walks, while nights are for cocktails and chef-led dinners on the veranda. A romantic couple's escape.
• Campo Bahia sits on a quiet stretch of coastline. Villas are decorated in pale woods, with linen sofas and wide glass doors that slide open to the sea. There’s a spa, gym and hot tub, plus a restaurant focused on fresh coastal flavours. The ideal base for couples who like space, comfort and easy beach days.
• Set along Cocoa’s shoreline, Txai Resort is an eco-minded resort with thatched bungalows, open-air bathrooms and soft lighting. The sea is your next-door neighbour here, the spa and yoga deck are steps away, and the restaurant keeps things interesting with inventive Brazilian cooking. An easy, intimate setup for couples.

For a secluded beach retreat

• Wake up to the sound of the sea at Fazenda São Francisco do Corumbau. There are just ten beachside bungalows and villas, each with big ocean-facing beds, terraces and outdoor tubs. Spend your days swimming, snorkelling, diving, kayaking and even whale watching, before returning to the laid back restaurant and bar. The ultimate beachside getaway.

For families

• Set on its own stretch of beach near Salvador, Tivoli Praia do Forte Ecoresort is a huge eco-resort that's built for families. There are eight pools, tennis courts, a full spa and a lively kids club, plus bright rooms with balconies. Evenings are made easy with tapas bars and Mediterranean dining on site.
• Steps from the reef pools of Taipú de Fora, Dreamland Bungalows are set up for families who want space and sea views. Parents can relax on shady verandas with hammocks, while kids splash in the pool that's right by the beach. A casual restaurant by the sand serves tropical fruit breakfasts and simple Brazilian classics all day long.
