Far from the tourist-packed beaches of Rio de Janeiro, this is where people come to completely reset, finding their bliss on a stretch of sugary, golden sand with nearly no one else around. This unspeakably beautiful coastline has a host of beaches (or praias) to choose from, where you can swim, snorkel and surf the hours away. When you manage to tear yourself from the beach, seek out tumbling waterfalls in the Atlantic Forest, kayak amongst cool mangroves and allow yourself to be swept up by the region’s Afro-Brazilian rhythm, which seems to colour every moment. From boat trips to secluded sand banks to diving amidst vibrant coral reefs, Southern Bahia is heaven-sent.

The sunsets in these parts are legendary so make sure you have a glass of cachaça to toast the day as traditional forró tunes welcome the evening.
The coast surrounding Corumbau has some of the most untouched beaches in Brazil. Spend an entire day on one of them and we’d be surprised if you see another soul.
Summer may seem like the obvious choice for when to visit southern Bahia, but springtime brings less scorching temperatures and fewer people. Yes please!
