About the Bahia region, Brazil
Bahia is a tropical paradise covered with dense vegetation of coconut and banana trees. It is one of the 26 states of Brazil, situated on the north-eastern Atlantic coast and enjoys a year round tropical climate with little seasonal temperature variation, averaging 27°C and complimented by warm, soft breezes. The coastline with its calm seas is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Brazil.

The island is considered to be one of the most desirable tropical destinations in the world and is the tenth most visited place in Brazil. With beautiful beaches and calm, crystalline, warm waters, Atlantic rainforest, mangroves and coconut groves that are home to a stunning array of flowers, colourful birds, monkeys and marine life. The island is home to a few small fishing villages, the largest of which is Morro de Sao Paulo, with beautiful colonial architecture and historical monuments.

Salvador is the third largest city in Brazil and was the first colonial capital of Brazil, renowned for its cuisine, music and architecture. Each February it is home to a week long Carnival which is considered to be the biggest street party in the world. 2 million people celebrate throughout 15 miles of streets, avenues and squares and an average of 800 thousand visitors descend on the city to participate.

Things to do in the region include:
Visit Pelourinho, the colonial district of Salvador, a UNESCO World Heritage site, located in the Cidade Alto. There are several historic churches, many restaurants and bars, museums and venues for music and theatre. One of the best times to party with the locals is at the Tuesday night bencao.

Immerse yourself in history at Morro de Sao Paulo. One of Brazil’s oldest colonies, it has clean sand, warm water, mangroves and rainforest as well as virtually deserted beaches. It is the perfect place to take a break and relax during the day, and as evening draws in you can party to the Brazilian beat.

Get in touch with nature at Encanto “The Enchantment” Beach. Separated from the Fourth Beach by a small mangrove, which can be easily crossed during low tide, there are two kilometres of almost deserted beach. There are deep ocean pools, which are great for bathing at low tide.

Take a walking tour, or follow the Lighthouse Trail. The most outstanding construction in Morro de Sao Paulo, is the “Farol do Morro Lighthouse” that stands on the headland. It is the perfect place for photos, or just admire the beautiful landscape, from the port at Ponta do Curral to the Gamboa Beach.

Soak up the beauty and colour of the Brazilian landscape on a visit to the Turtle Conservation area in Praia do Forte. Visit the Tamar Turtle Conservation project, and swim in the warm waters and tide pools at Praia de Guarajuba.

Watch the whales as they migrate to Abrolhos. The whale watching season, between July and November, is the perfect time to watch these incredible creatures in their natural habitat.

Celebrate at the Carnival in Salvador. This takes place on Ash Wednesday, and kicks off a five-day Ressaca (Hangover) with post carnival parties on both First and Second Beach.

Swim, snorkel and dive amongst one of the largest concentrations of fish per square meter on the planet. An eco-tourist’s dream destination, where 17 species of coral form an environment that is home to numerous other species of maritime fauna, the archipelago is an excitement-filled shallow water experience. For experienced divers, there are also dive operators who offer boat trips, where you can free dive or use tanks.

“In its early stages of development, investing in the Garapua Beach Resort represents a fantastic opportunity for exceptional capital growth. With negotiations under way for the involvement of big brands such as the Gary Player Signature Golf Course, Pat Cash Tennis Academy and Trader Vic’s restaurant, this resort will be world class.”
