CASA HISTORY
Legend goes that Seu Irênio burned the musky resin of almescar trees each evening in front of his large, white casa on the Historic Quadrado, hypnotising children with stories and performing tricks, gaining him the affectionate nickname ‘the magician of almescar’. The warmth felt for Irênio by the community inspired a very loving restoration of his home by local artisans.
DESIGN
The Quadrado's only 1-bedroom casa with a pool, and a design perfectly merging rustic modernism with luxury. Light streams through glass tiles hidden in an antique roof, old interior walls stripped to their structural frame allow flow of air and wide Quadrado views, bedroom with spectacular garden bath and double-shower open to the sky beside a private plunge pool.
LOVE FOR DETAILS
Thousands of small details executed with care give UXUA its identity. Furniture, decor, lighting and fixtures are one-of-a-kind, organic creations of designer Wilbert Das, handmade at the hotel by native artisans ranging from fishermen to Pataxó Indians. Antiques and art are sourced locally. International creatives living at UXUA have contributed via our Artist In Casa residency.
