Let’s travel to Brazil today! Above a remote stretch of Brazil’s Bahian coastline sits an enchanting fishing village called Trancoso. On the town’s historic green (the Quadrado) is a secret garden holding a luxurious hideaway; the UXUA Casa Hotel.

Hotel Azucar in San Rafael, Mexico is a great little resort with 20 bungalows, each with a private terrace. The interior decoration is basic but very stylish. Much of the furniture is made of driftwood that was collected on the beach.

Bungalows feature thatched roofs and private terraces overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, each with its own locally made hammock for naps or reading sessions cooled by the sea breeze.

Azucar is the perfect place for those in need of a quiet sanctuary. Take a nap or do some reading: the beautiful outdoor library is filled with books, perfect for some reading by the pool or beach.
