Why go to Salvador and stay in Ondina

The Barra-Ondina circuit in the city of Salvador is only used during Carnival week to identify the departure of the blocks and trios, which depart from Farol da Barra to Praia de Ondina, covering a beautiful 4.5km stretch of the seafront where the best VIP areas for the carnival festivities and the city's best hotels are located.

What many people don't know is that these historic beaches are the best places to stay. It's no wonder that this is the official residence of the state governor.
Boasting a privileged location bordered by the sea in a beautiful stretch of land with the most beautiful views of Salvador's coastline, with historical monuments, art galleries, museums, theater, university campus, shopping malls, shopping and craft centers, nightclubs, gyms, an endless number of bars and the best restaurants, Zoobotanical Park, the governor's house, viewpoints and belvederes. As if that weren't enough, it is one of the few places in Brazil where you can watch the sunset over the sea in an exciting visual spectacle. To top it off, the neighborhoods are connected by a modern bike path with a generous pedestrian and bike path, belvederes, squares and panoramic views, which allows for bucolic walks along the seafront between one beach and another. Traffic, in keeping with the landscape, is calm and without congestion.

Due to its numerous attractions, the Barra-Ondina circuit is an exceptional tourist product that stands out and differentiates itself, helping to encourage visitors to come to the city of Salvador.
