Trancoso

"Best resort to chill, offering space and privacy," remarks Harper's Bazaar in June 2012. In February 2012, the FT announced the launch of beach-chic Etnia Clube de Mar near the trendy village, Trancoso, in Bahia. "If this waterfront address is anything like its sister Pousada Etnia, which has a village location, then reckon on impeccable food,  lovable owner-hosts (ex-fashion industry) who share 'the scene' with guests."
