ALTIPLANO
Costa Careyes, Mexico
5 Bedrooms and 6 Bathrooms (Sleeps 10)
Altiplano is a unique and very private villa located in ultra chic
Careyes, a magnificent stretch of coastline between Puerto Vallarta and
Manzanillo. Sitting amidst 3,735 sq. meters of tropical gardens with a
large variety of local flora and fruit trees, this very stylish villa
has breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Designed to take advantage
of the scenery, Atliplano looks out to seas across a broad terrace to
the infinity pool, which has a small waterfall at one end and a heated
Jacuzzi and pergola at the other. Like all the villas of Careyes, this
wonderful house has large rooms and fantastic views of the ultramarine
blue Pacific. Also like most villas here, Altiplano has a huge 21’ high
palapa, supported by towering tree trunks, housing the main living and
dining areas. Throughout the villa are original contemporary works of
art, mixed with great looking Central American textiles and various
Mexican treasures.
A cobblestone walkway and stairs lead down to the beautiful Playa Rosa
beach (three minutes on foot and one by car), where there is a
restaurant under a large palapa. There is also El Careyes Hotel, which
has a restaurant, pool, small beach, tennis courts, an excellent spa
and shops (which will ship to the US). For those wanting golf, there is
a spectacular course, which is carved into the jungle along the beach
in Tamarindo, about 45 minutes south.
