Casa do Mar

Forty metres from the Atlantic surf on Salvador's northern coast, Casa do Mar is a detached beachfront property on Rua da Fonte Nova with direct sea views from its balcony and patio — a rare configuration in a city where most beach addresses share corridors and courtyards.

The self-catering setup is unusually complete: full stovetop, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, kitchenware, and a washing machine make extended stays practical without relying on outside services. An outdoor dining area and barbecue face the garden, suited to the slow-paced coastal rhythm Salvador's northern beaches favor over the crowded Barra waterfront.

Family rooms and a private entrance mean the property functions well for groups avoiding hotel lobbies. Upper floors are stairs-only — worth noting for guests with mobility needs.
