Salvador Airport inaugurates new VIP lounge

Salvador Bahia Airport, part of the VINCI Airports network, inaugurated the Amaní Lounge, the terminal’s new VIP lounge, this Tuesday (13). With an investment of R$ 8 million, an area of 430 m², and capacity for more than 140 people, the space is managed directly by VINCI Airports and was designed to transform waiting time into an experience of hospitality, relaxation, and connection with Salvador. The inauguration event was attended by guests and VINCI Airports executives from Brazil and France.

The new VIP lounge offers an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, with architectural features and decorative elements that reflect Bahia’s identity. The project was designed by architect Thaís Abreu, who was also responsible for the design of the airport’s new Food Court.

Inspired by a living room, the space was designed to provide a pause during the journey, in an environment that combines convenience, hospitality, and tranquility. The idea is to invite passengers to slow down and enjoy the time before boarding.

The space offers two different access options: a partnership with Dragon Pass and a Day Use option, and is open from 8 a.m. to midnight. The lounge is located in the departures area, on the first floor, toward gates 18 to 26.

“The Amaní Lounge represents a new way of experiencing the airport and reinforces our vision that the passenger experience goes far beyond the moment of boarding. By directly managing this space, we have the opportunity to bring our vision of hospitality to life and create an experience connected to Salvador’s identity. We have incorporated the concept of sense of place so that passengers can not only rest and enjoy their time before the flight, but also experience elements that convey the city’s culture and atmosphere. It is another way to transform the time spent at the airport into an experience that begins even before the journey itself,” says Júlia Orrico, Commercial Director of Salvador Bahia Airport.
