Estrela Do Mar: Stay in one of Salvador's loveliest pousadas

português français español

Set right in the heart of Barra, just a minute from the beach, this exquisite residential house has been transformed by loving owners into a comfortable, modern, pristine guesthouse for discerning travellers.

Barra has some of the finest beaches in Salvador and is ideally positioned for visiting the Pelourinho (historic centre). There are lots of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. Public transport is very good with buses to every part of the city and taxis on every corner.

Best location for Carnaval and New Year: Barra is one of the two main Carnaval routes in the city and the pousada is just around the corner from the Farol da Barra (lighthouse) which is the centre of the Carnaval activities. Salvador's New Year celebrations (a spectacular firework display and outdoor concert) also take place at Farol da Barra so we are also ideally located for this unforgettable event.
