Pousada Lagoa

Bahia


At this eco-minded place (they recycle, compost, and employ local workers), choose between simple but stylish cottages with small verandas, or slightly cheaper suites. The restaurant-bar is a popular nighttime hangout, and open to the public: in addition to fresh fish and homemade bread, the restaurant serves produce sourced from the guesthouse's own garden.
