Bahia Mar

Bahia Biscane

Bahia Del Sol

Pronunciation IPA: [ba.'i.a] [1] (the H is not pronounced, and the stress is on the second syllable). The name is an archaic spelling of the Portuguese word meaning "bay" and comes from "a baía de Todos os Santos" (All Saints' Bay), first seen by European sailors on November 1st 1501, All Saints' Day.
