The raw beauty of Itacare is woven into Barracuda Hotel and Villas. This small but breathtaking retreat has been designed to be part of the landscape it calls home- sandwiched between the Atlantic Forest and the azure sea on a tiny Bahian bay. Lay out on a chic lounger beside the infinity pool that seems to flow into the ocean and soak up some of the most beautiful views this side of anywhere. Those views are even better enjoyed from your authentically designed suite or villa- with walls and windows that slide open to give you a stunning outlook. When the time comes to dip your toe into this beautiful setting- ask the hotel for curated local experiences - many of which give back to the Itacare communities. Top of the list is almost always a surf lesson- as wave riding is a way of life here. You can also kayak- visit local riverside villages- jeep ride deep into the forest- cruise the mangroves or try your hand at fishing. After all- seafood plays a starring role at the Barracuda Hotel and Villas restaurant. Inspired by beloved dishes- served for generations- the chefs here put an innovative spin on local flavours. Expect plenty of freshly grilled fish- lobster and tender octopus- elegantly presented in the chic dining room. After dinner cocktails are best enjoyed out on the deck- with the gently lapping sea as your soundtrack. Barracuda Hotel and Villas is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
