As you enter Casa Paraïso through its garden door, the first thing that you notice is breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. The beautiful round palapa living and dining room opens to a wide view of the tip of Punta El Custodio with its magnificent 400 year old fig tree, the wide horizon with its seabirds and spouting whales, and the headlands of Punta Gorda and San Blas. The living room is a large and charming space, decorated with contemporary Mexican art, with brilliant flowers and with several groupings of comfortable furniture. You’ll group together in comfort or do their own things; there is ample space for it. Seaward, the living room opens onto a terrace, high on the cliff, where you can sunbathe, catch the sea breeze, watch the restless surf or plunge into an amazing infinity pool. There is no better place to sit, drink in hand and watch one of our magnificent sunsets, or the brilliant stars.

There are three bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom and king-size beds. Two of these face on the sea and honor it with expansive windows. You will be lulled to sleep by the murmuring of the waves. The third bedroom has a delightful balcony view of the adjoining little park and on the opposite end a large window that faces the sea. Each bedroom has its own air-conditioning unit and the living room is cooled by a ceiling fan and the cool sea breezes.

The kitchen is fully equipped and is separated from the living room only by a bar/counter. If you cook for yourselves, you will always be right there with your party. If you choose not to cook, you’ll be able to enjoy the delicious fragrance of your upcoming feast as Lupita skillfully prepares it for you. You will be able to grab beers or snacks or mix margaritas right there.

Lupita, the housekeeper or ama de llaves is the real treasure of Villa Paraïso.

She’s friendly, good-humored, unobtrusive, effective and a great cook and she will keep your villa sparkling, do your light laundry for you and cook delicious breakfasts and dinners.(see”planning your dining”, for a detailed discussion of meal options).

*This property, along with 11 additional properties located on the peninsula, is managed by Villas Punta El Custodio.
