Fodor's Expert Review La Residence
Estrada da Balsa 940, Arraial d'Ajuda, Bahia, 45816-000, Brazil
Set right on the idyllic Praia do Pescador, this intimate boutique hotel combines highly personalized service from French owner Giovanna with peaceful, elegant rooms, far from the bustle of the town center. Guests rave about the fluffy towels, spacious bathrooms, and homemade breakfasts served overlooking the ocean. Although Arraial d'Ajuda's town center is 1½ km (1 mile) away, guests can wander 15 minutes down the shore to the lovely beach of Mucugê.
