Location - Beach

Recover on the mile long sandy beach and relax in the nearly all-year warm sea at „one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil“ (magazine GEO, Spain) in Praia de Jauá with its miles long beaches. The beach of Jauá is situated north of Salvador da Bahia at the 'Estrada do Coco' surrounded by snow like white dunes. It is very popular. At some parts reefs form natural pools when the tide is out allowing to swim even by high waves. The southern beaches are almost deserted and invite you to extensive wanderings.

In Jauá itself there are some restaurants, bars, supermarkets and other shopping facilities and you can sample a host of Bahian food and drinks in any of the more than forty beach pavilions.

Distances from the hotel: Beach 350 m; Salvador Airport 17 km (app. 20 min by car), use our transfer service; Pelourinho - Historic Centre of Salvador 40 km (app. 45 min by car).

There is a regular busservice to the town centre of Salvador and some neighbour villages (not at night). Buses stop in front of the hotel. We offer excursions, taxi service and car rental is available at the reception.
