Finding decent accommodation in Brazil can be tricky so here are my hidden gems, the top 5 places to stay in Brazil off the beaten track.

Why the Pelourinho is a Salvador hidden gem that comes to life after dark.

Why the undiscovered island of Boipeba, two-hours south of Salvador, is one of my favourite places in Brazil and Bahia’s hidden gem.

Combine a five-star luxury hotel with the friendliness of a backpacker hostel and you get the Windtown Resort & Spa in Cumbuco.

Breakfast is most definitely the most important meal of the day at Alcino’s pousada in Lencois, Brazil.
