The treehouses and villas are stunning, inside and out, and come with every conceivable luxury, from plunge pools to butler service.
“The 105 stand-alone tree house suites, which were constructed with sustainably sourced native woods, sit on stilts to minimize impact on the rain forest floor.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The coast unfolds into secluded sandy coves and volcanic cliffs, an hour north of Puerto Vallarta.
The rooms
Elevated among the canopy, Cumaru timber treehouses open through retractable glass walls onto terraces with private plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An adults-only infinity pool cantilevers over the jungle cliffs at Carao, and draped cabanas edge the ocean pool.
Temazcal and vitality pools
An adobe temazcal hosts pre-Hispanic sweat lodge rituals, set steps from open-air vitality pools in the jungle.
The spa and gym
Open-air treatment pavilions offer Tata Harper botanical therapies, and the gym looks straight into the rainforest canopy.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Clifftop restaurant Carao serves modern Mexican fare by Enrique Olvera, and cocktails are poured above the canopy at The Treetop.
In fact, beauty surrounds the whole 80-acre property. Treehouse accommodations and ground-level villas reside in a lush rainforest with 200-year-old trees.
How it began
Architect Rick Joy mapped the layout alongside botanists to build around ancient trees rather than clearing them.
“The complex is made out of concrete, local stone and wood – all materials that can be locally sourced and feel at home in the specific Mexican context.”
