This luxurious hotel’s nine suites are divided into master suites and luxury suites, each one with exclusive décor inspired by the name of the room. The breezy rooms preserve the simple vibe of the town yet modestly succeed in impressing with luxurious touches, such as furniture designed by Brazilian artists. The rooms and the hotel itself are decorated with local artworks in addition to several pieces by French artist, Jacques Reys and English artist, Margaret Mee. Delicate mosquito nets woven in the south of Bahia offer protection from the inevitable tropical blood-suckers and Egyptian cotton sheets seal the deal on this upscale boutique hotel.

Seemingly built with its natural surroundings in mind, Pousada Estrela do Mar resembles a modern-day wooden farmhouse, and is cozy without being too cute. The swimming pool is an excellent feature and receives plenty of the day’s hottest sun for topping up your tan yet plenty of wooden overhangings to cool off in the shade. Simple, airy rooms and open corridors create a casual ambience and the breakfast is in a league of its own: a wide selection of fresh fruits, several types of breads, cakes, cereals and juices will ensure guests never start the day hungry.
