Club Med Trancoso at a glance

Club Med Trancoso is a 27-hectare Premium resort perched on top of the cliffs of Bahia State, Brazil, 1 hour 15 minutes from Porto Seguro airport, well off the main tourist routes. Its 280 rooms, in thatched-roof pavilions, overlook a long beach reserved for the resort, reached by a path through the greenery or by elevator. People come for the calm, the flying trapeze, yoga in the Taípe River and the bohemian charm of the Quadrado, 6 km away. Open almost all year, it welcomes families with clubs from age 2. The package includes accommodation, meals, the bar, activities and clubs for ages 4 to 17.

When is Club Med Trancoso open?

The resort is open almost all year, from September 2026 to the end of 2027, with short breaks of a few days: around October 10 to 12, 2026, February 20 to 22, March 17 to 21 and April 20 to 25, 2027. The holidays, Quebec spring break in early March and Easter, on March 28, 2027, therefore fall in the middle of the season. Your advisor confirms the exact dates when you book.

How do you get to Club Med Trancoso from Quebec?

You fly from Montreal or Quebec City to Porto Seguro, with a connection in Brazil, often in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro. Porto Seguro airport is 80 km from the resort, or 1 hour 15 minutes by road heading south, through countryside of coconut palms and small villages. The transfer is booked with the package, and your advisor chooses the connection that gets you there in daylight.

What is the resort like?

The resort spreads over 27 hectares on top of the cliffs, with a view stretching out over the Atlantic. Rooms are spread across thatched-roof pavilions surrounded by gardens where you can spot sloths, monkeys and tropical birds. Below, a path through the greenery leads to the resort's beach, equipped with a bar, snacks and washrooms, and an elevator makes the climb back easy. The resort holds Green Globe Gold certification.

Which activities are included in the package?

The flying trapeze is the activity children talk about when they get home: you climb, you swing, and the team secures every jump. Add archery, tennis, beach tennis, aqua fitness and two wellness formats, including yoga in the Taípe River, feet in fresh water, and Yoga & Breathing sessions. Meals, snacks and bar drinks are included. Club Med Spa massages are offered at extra cost.

Can you play golf at Club Med Trancoso?

Yes. The Terravista course stretches along Trancoso's red cliffs, with the ocean as far as the eye can see on several holes. The resort offers clinics and lessons there, at extra cost. It is a great way to vary the days for a couple where one plays and the other prefers the beach: everyone meets up at the resort bar for sunset.

Is the resort good for families?

Yes, from age 2. Petit Club Med welcomes 2- and 3-year-olds, at extra cost, by reservation. Mini Club Med+ takes over from 4 to 10, the Teens club from 11 to 13 and the Chill Pass from 14 to 17, all included in the package. The Petit Chef program introduces children to cooking. Babies are welcome with their parents, since the resort welcomes children of all ages.

Which room should you choose at Club Med Trancoso?

The Superior room, 34 m², sleeps up to three: it is roomy for a couple. The Superior Family room offers 42 m² for four, and the new Superior Family room, 61 m², gives a family of four plenty of space to spread out. These rooms are in the centre of the resort, close to activities and restaurants. The resort also offers Deluxe rooms for those who want to move up a category.

What is there to do around Trancoso?

The Quadrado, 6 km away, is Trancoso's historic square: a large lawn lined with colourful houses and a small white church, with shops and restaurants that come alive in the evening. Further north, Arraial d'Ajuda is 8 km away and Porto Seguro, 45 km away, is known as the birthplace of Brazil. To the south, Caraíva and Mirror Beach make for great days out. The Jaqueira reserve introduces Pataxó culture, and the beaches of Nativos, Coqueiros and Pedra Grande are lovely for a stroll. Quad outings round out the options.

What is the best season to go?

Trancoso enjoys a warm tropical climate all year, with averages of 22 to 26°C and a sea that ranges between about 25 and 27°C. September is the driest month, and rain is more frequent around November. From December to March, it is the southern summer, the hottest and liveliest season at the Quadrado. For a Quebec winter, it is reliable sunshine.
