The rooms
Regional hardwoods shape the lofty living spaces, and every villa opens to its own private plunge pool.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Casa Chukum has a beachfront swimming pool facing the Caribbean, and rooftop plunge pools look out across the palm canopy.
At the table
Breakfast is prepared every morning, and private kitchens open onto terraces with outdoor grills.
How it began
The name joins the Spanish words for blue crab, and each villa is named after a native hardwood.
