Located in the heart of Trancoso, 80 kilometers from Porto Seguro, in the southern coast of the state of Bahia, Etnia Pousada is a relaxing haven that has garnered worldwide acclaim for its thorough attention to detail. Herbet Ypma, a renowned photographer and writer for "Hip Hotels," named it the best destination in the world for travelers seeking undisturbed tranquility, simplicity and sophistication. Featured in Condé Nast Johansen’s “The Americas – Recommended Hotels, Inns, Resorts & Spas,” the hotel has been included in world famous publications such as The New York Times. Immersed in lush greenery, Etnia Pousada marries comfort with a unique ethnic decoration. Every detail has been carefully planned to provide you with the highest standards of comfort, quality, and service. The owners themselves add a touch of intimacy by taking reservations and receiving guests as they walk in.

Surrounded by shady woods, the boutique hotel features 8 bungalows decorated with different eccentric themes -Cottage, Morocco, Tribal, Mediterranean, Trancoso, Kyoto, Gipsy and Goa. From furniture brought from all parts of the world to Swedish pillows and Egyptian cotton sheets, all bungalows glow with color and detail. Each enjoys a balcony and internal private garden, thus letting you stay in touch with your natural surroundings. After swimming in the pool, feel free to pick up a snack in the nearby bar. Alternatively, take advantage of succulent Mediterranean and local cuisine at the on-site restaurant, most notably, fresh pasta prepared by the hotel's exclusive chef. To revitalize yourself, visit the massage room and gym, the latter of which features a personal trainer available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Within a 15 minute walking distance to stunning beaches and five minutes from the lively Quadrado, Trancoso's central square, Trancoso attracts people all over the world, from pleasure seekers to architects and artists who find inspiration for their work in this lovely oasis.
