Aldeia do Mar

About Aldeia do Mar

Aldeia do Mar is an independent timeshare property in Conchas do Mar, Itacaré, directly opposite the beach. Guest feedback (4.6 out of 5 from over 900 reviews) consistently describes it as a relaxed place to stay, with an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant and breakfast included for guests. It suits owners and visitors who want a relaxed base rather than a large resort complex — a good match for Itacaré itself, which has built its reputation on staying small and unpolished rather than chasing mass tourism.

Itacaré and the surrounding area

Itacaré sits on Bahia's northeastern coast and has long attracted surfers and backpackers, with a steady flow of holidaymakers in more recent years drawn by its combination of Atlantic beaches and forest. The town itself has kept a village feel — cobbled streets, simple seafood restaurants, and a pace of life noticeably slower than Brazil's larger coastal resorts.

Itacaré Beach is right on the doorstep of Aldeia do Mar, offering swimming and surfing along with the town's relaxed waterfront atmosphere. A few kilometres along the coast, Concha Beach is a sheltered cove better suited to calmer swimming, while Jeribucaçu Beach, framed by Atlantic forest, is the pick for anyone wanting a quieter stretch of sand away from the crowds. Further afield, the historic city of Ilhéus — about 50km away — is worth the trip for its colonial architecture and its place in Brazil's cacao-growing history. Because Itacaré itself is compact, owners and renters wanting to explore these outlying beaches and Ilhéus will generally find it easiest to hire a car for the day.

Selling or renting a week here

Aldeia do Mar is an independent resort, meaning resale here doesn't go through a branded timeshare company's exchange system — it's handled through the resort's own owners' association or management office. If you're selling, that's where any transfer paperwork gets processed once you and a buyer have agreed a deal. On BidMyTimeshare.com, you list your week as a private resale: you set your own asking price, buyers contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — just a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers.

Because this is an independent property, we can't quote a transfer fee or confirm whether the resort's association holds a right of first refusal on resales — these details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can verify. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should ask Aldeia do Mar's management directly for the current transfer fee, the annual maintenance fee, and confirmation of exactly what transfers with the week (the usage rights themselves, and whether any banked time or benefits are tied to the current owner). Anything not confirmed in writing shouldn't be assumed to carry over.

For anyone renting out a week instead of selling, the draw for renters is straightforward: a beachfront location in a town that still feels authentic, a pool and restaurant on site, and breakfast included — practical selling points for anyone searching for a beach stay in Bahia rather than a large all-inclusive resort.

Practical notes

Itacaré enjoys warm, tropical weather year-round, with December to February the busiest and most humid stretch and April to November generally quieter with more comfortable conditions for exploring on foot. Portuguese is the local language, and a few basic phrases go a long way outside the main tourist spots. Light rain gear is worth packing alongside sun protection, given the coastal climate.
