Unique Opportunity: 55m Beachfront Property In Bahia

A typical Canavieiras beachfront property — and yet unique. Why? It combines the tranquility and paradisiacal atmosphere for which this area is known, and yet it’s one of the last properties in this location still available for purchase.

 

 

A Bridge that Connects the Secluded Island to Infrastructure

With 55 meters of beachfront, it is located amidst a nature reserve on Atalaia Island, which is connected by a bridge to the port town of Canavieiras in the Brazilian state of Bahia.

 

 

That a still-affordable beachfront property exists in this neighborhood is almost a miracle. On the 14 km long island, even luxury estates are being sold – including one where the King of Sweden and Queen Silvia once vacationed, now on the market for 2.2 million euros and located just two houses away.

 

Unique Location Right by the Sea

The actual piece of land in question belongs to the German hotel owner Pete, who, at 75, is still fit but finds maintaining the property and beach house increasingly demanding. For those who want to learn more about him and Canavieiras – in this video (in German, with English subtitles), he talks about life as an expat and the advantages of the town with 33,000 residents, boasting many restaurants, shops, and hospitals, plus a beach right at your doorstep. A perfect balance of tranquility and luxury, close to other well-known destinations like Porto Seguro, Ilhéus, and Trancoso.

 

 

Anyone who has seen the German expat in our videos knows that he knows Canavieiras like the back of his hand – and this property is particularly close to his heart.

 

 

 

The property spans 7,500 m², is directly on the beach, and offers 55 meters of beachfront along with a charming, renovated beach house with 170 m² of living space and a small chalet. The buildings are simple, but the location and potential speak for themselves. A place that radiates calm – completely tranquilo – while still offering space for new ideas.

Living in Canavieiras

The tranquil port town stands out with its Portuguese colonial-style architecture. Especially the historic center at the port, the Sitio Historico, attracts locals and tourists alike in the evenings with its international cuisine.

 

 

You can reach Atalaia Island on foot or by car via a bridge. Since the island is located in a nature reserve, crowds are rare, and you often have the quiet beaches to yourself.

 

 

The northern and southern tips of the island are particularly beautiful and can even be visited by local fishing boat.

 

 

Especially Interesting for Creative Investors:

The property with direct beach access and two houses still offers plenty of room for further ideas.

 

 

• Ideal for communities, glamping, tiny houses, or chalets
• Lots of nature, lush vegetation, space for individual development
• Upon request, only the beachfront property with the beach house (2,400 m²) can be sold. (Access to the beach must remain intact.)

 

This piece of land is a rare opportunity to create a seaside retreat in Canavieiras – whether for tourism, a small community, or simply as a peaceful getaway.

By the way, I’ve also heard that there might be a possibility to take over Pete’s aparthotel in the historical center right next to the old port (including seven fully equipped apartments). We’d be happy to tell you more about it.
