Secluded wilderness cove
A secluded Pacific retreat where uncrowded white-sand beaches, fragrant gardens, and personalized service create an atmosphere of effortless coastal privacy.
“This seaside resort feels like a nature reserve (1,500 acres of gardens!) without the crowds.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Vibrant Mexican pinks and domed palapa roofs distinguish the freestanding seaside villas.
What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Your fellow guests are quite possibly royalty, Hollywood or otherwise — but the resort’s seven villas are each so secluded that you would never know it.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Along Jalisco's wild Costalegre, rugged Pacific headlands and protected turtle-nesting shores stretch quietly between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo.
The rooms
Terracotta floors, traditional equipal seating, and vibrant Mexican textiles fill the suites, with select villas adding private oceanfront plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 17-meter freshwater pool sits behind the dunes, shaded by timber pergolas and yellow daybeds facing the surf.
The spa palapa
Massages and salt scrubs take place in an open-air palapa to the sound of breaking waves.
At the table
Beachfront palapas serve fresh ceviche and Mexican dishes made with herbs from the organic orchard.
How it began
Isabel Goldsmith-Patiño replaced her grandfather's mega-resort plan with an intimate eco-sanctuary, deliberately preserving two thousand acres of pristine Pacific coastline.
