Pousada Jacarandá

In Trancoso, Porto Seguro — a lively corner of Bahia with square-lined streets and beach access. This family-friendly pousada sits a 4-minute walk from Tancredo Neves Square and about 7 minutes from Praça da Independência. Coqueiros Beach is roughly 1.2 km away, with Nativos and Rio Verde beaches also close by, and Porto Seguro airport about 29 km out.

A small, intimate pousada with garden terraces and an easygoing vibe. Six air-conditioned, individually decorated rooms feature minibars, flat-screen TVs, desks and private bathrooms with showers, complimentary toiletries and daily housekeeping.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar. There’s a terrace, garden and an arcade/game room for downtime, plus extras like a solarium, yoga area and access to local diving options. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll straight out to local beaches or the nearby golf course.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The property also offers a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, concierge, dry cleaning/laundry and free self parking; an airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

A coffee shop/café, snack bar/deli and an on-site restaurant keep hunger at bay. Unwind at the bar/lounge or poolside bar, and enjoy a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM.
