Here, you sleep with the scent of sea salt and jungle surrounding you, far from the hustle and bustle.

The heart of the hotel is the stylish infinity pool, surrounded by sunbeds on a terrace with ocean views.

Work out and wind down

Food & Drink

Enjoy a drink from the rooftop bar with a sea view.

The chef at Barracuda Hotel & Villas is a true local from Itacaré and the son of a Bahai fisherman - and you can taste that in the restaurant. The sea is an inexhaustible source of inspiration here, which means you can enjoy daily fresh fish from the grill, tender octopus and sophisticated seafood stews. Each dish brings to life the authentic flavors of Bahia, with a modern twist.
