Uxua Casa Hotel & Spa is a collection of thirteen casitas, surrounded by gardens at the edge of the historic Quadrado—Trancoso’s picturesque village square.
Conceived by fashion designers Wilbert Das and Robert (Bob) Shevlin, each of the houses has a unique personality and feel.
The attention to detail and originality of each room make Uxua (“ooo-shoe-ahh”) one of our favorite hotels in South America. Don’t just take our word for it; the hotel is a regular in Elle, Architectural Digest, Town & Country, and Vogue.
At the heart of Uxua’s garden, an open-air breakfast restaurant and sundeck flank a swimming pool lined with shimmering blue quartz crystals.
Nearby, you’ll find a yoga studio, spa, a second restaurant, gym, concierge desk, and a boutique for the Casa Uxua line of artisan housewares.
Daybeds are reserved for guests at the Uxua Beach Bar at Praia Nativos—a ten-minute walk from the hotel.
Accommodations
Each of the guest rooms features hand-made furnishings and fixtures, made locally with traditional techniques. All casas and villas at Uxua have air conditioning. Each is furnished with fan, security box, television, bathrobes, beach sandals, and hairdryer.
