WE WISH WEDNESDAY- UXUA CASA HOTEL & SPA, BRAZIL

The pool is legendary at UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa in Brazil. It is lined with 40,000 shimmering green aventurine crystal quartz pebbles. Besides being beautiful (see below), the quartz tiles and are said to have healing and youth restoring properties. A hotel pool that restores youth? I’m in.

The property features 10 individual casas in a Trancoso, a small fishing village on the southern Bahian coast. Four casas are restored fishermen homes facing the 16th century town green called the Quadrado, while six others are hidden in a lush private garden. The casas were created by designer Wilbert Das in collaboration with local artisans using traditional building methods, reclaimed materials, and Brazilian antiques and art.

Just having had a birthday and all, we so wish!
