Average time to visit
As Bahia lies within a tropical zone, it has a warm climate all year round and does not have low winter temperatures, which are typical of temperate climates. However, it rains more during cooler months (May and June) than during hot months (from October to April). Average annual temperature is 28° C.
Insider's View
Be sure, if you are staying June to November, to keep a look out on the horizon, as humpback whales come to these waters to calve.

Description
The family friendly Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte is conveniently located one hour's drive north of Salvador on Brazil's stunning Bahian coastline and surrounded by palm fringed beaches. It offers an abundance of onsite facilities and activities.
Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte is set amongst 25,000 m2 of gardens and coconut groves, with miles of beaches, coconut forests, multicoloured reefs, natural salt water pools, rivers, waterfalls, lagoons and relics from colonial Brazil. The hotel is a short distance from the centre of picturesque Praia do Forte fishing village, which is home to the fascinating Tamar Project set up 20 years ago to save the endangered sea turtle.
250 air-conditioned rooms are spaciously located in two-storey bungalows, each with their own veranda and hammocks overlooking either the tropical gardens or the beautiful beach dotted with palm trees. The hotel is constructed in a style which combines pre-Baroque Jesuit architecture with Polynesian architecture. There are three swimming pools, two floodlit tennis courts, three bars, a restaurant serving local and international cuisine and a nautical centre with facilities for windsurfing, kayaking and diving. The resort also offers superb spa facilities, including a selection of different therapies and Thalassotherapy. But if you're looking for something more cultural, trips to the ruins of the Garcia D'Avila castle are available, one of the oldest Portuguese constructions in the country.

Reviews
Mark Beken (Staff)
Easily accessible from Salvador, excellent facilities, great food and a wonderful palm-fringed beach, as well as the hotel's engagement with the Turtle Project, I felt that Praia do Forte ticks many boxes. The newly built suites are really lovely, and there is a fantastic spa. I loved the monkeys that seem to be everywhere and, although I was not there when the humpback whales pass through, this would make a great place for seeing these magnificent creatures. It's also one of the best options in Brazil for a family beach holiday, as there are plenty of activities for the children to do.
