A green coconut grove invades the 9.000 sq. meter area at the edge of the sea, and all but camouflages Pousada Pitinga, a refuge of calm only 1.5 kilometers from the historical village of Arraial d’Ajuda, on the coast of Bahia. Maria Silvia Bulhões de Carvalho, a Rio de Janeiro art dealer, took her lifestyle to this refuge, as can be seen by the sophistication and comfort of the facilities decorated with local artworks, the refinement in the details and service.

But she also borrowed the local way of making each guest feel as if they were in their own beach house to enjoy the calm and the poetry of this paradise in southern Bahia.
