Villa Kin Ich

20 guests • 7 bedrooms • 11 bathrooms – Step inside

This beachfront villa is magnificent in every sense. Architecturally dramatic, it blends a contemporary style with Mexican-inspired details in spaces that are simply grand. The infinity pool and deck overlook the gorgeous Playacar beach, as do three master suites located on the second floor. Further, the outdoor dining space and a poolside bar make it easy to spend most of your days close to the sea.

Villa Kin Ich also has plenty of entertainment options. The rooftop lounge is an excellent venue for evening gatherings. You can also spend the afternoon playing pool in the games room while you take in the ocean view. And while the house is spectacular, perhaps the best thing you can do is take one of the paddleboards available and make the most of being so close to the electric blue of the Caribbean.

Villa Alta Vista

22 guests • 8 bedrooms • 8.5 bathrooms – Step inside

Early birds, you’re in for a treat. Because when the sun rises over the ocean, you will be the first to see it from Villa Alta Vista’s spectacular rooftop deck. This beautiful home was made for welcoming large groups. There’s plenty of room for tanning by the infinity pool, enough seats at the pool bar, as well as a large kitchen and luminous areas where everyone can eat, relax, and watch some TV after a day of sun and sand.

And while the killer views are one of Villa Alta Vista’s best features, its eight gorgeous suites do not lag behind. Five of those elegantly decorated bedrooms have king-size beds. Pro tip: look for the two that have their own jacuzzis. And if you are feeling social after spending some me-time in your personal shrine, how about a game of table tennis to keep the holidays going?

Vista Hermosa

20 guests • 8 bedrooms • 9 bathrooms – Step inside

This eigh-bedroom villa offers several levels of top-notch tropical living. Let’s start with the graceful open-plan indoors. As soon as you walk in, the natural light welcomes you to living areas that are equal parts elegant and cozy. And if you like cooking, you’ll love the professional-grade kitchen. The rooms are equally snug. Large TVs and bathtubs might tempt you to spend your time self-pampering.

However, the real show is outside. The terrace lounge, equipped with a bar and a state-of-the-art grill, is the ideal spot for having fun with your people while you relish the breeze and the view. Climb up one more floor and you will find the generous plunge pool sitting against an absolutely stunning backdrop. So call everyone and take them on an unforgettable trip. Vista Hermosa is where you come to hang out together and share incredible sunsets with all your favorite people.

Casa Nikki

10 guests • 5 bedrooms • 4.5 bathrooms – Step inside

A rooftop plunge pool, an outdoor grill, and a private sauna – are three reasons to make Casa Nikki your next holiday landing pad. The house, wrapped around the swimming pool and patio, combines hints of palapa-living with all the comforts of a modern home. It has roomy living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and five beautiful suites.

The villa invites guests to spend their time outdoors. You can relax under the poolside canopy, have some cocktails in the palapa lounge or go upstairs to take in the view while you sip wine in the plunge pool. Sitting in Playacar Phase I, Casa Nikki is located steps away from the best beach in town and a ten-minute walk from the exciting Quinta Avenida.

Quinta Clara

14 guests • 7 bedrooms • 7 bathrooms – Step inside

Quick, call dibs on the master bedroom. Because although every corner of Quinta Clara is spectacular, having a private infinity pool on your suite’s balcony will no doubt add something special to your holiday. Located in Playacar Phase I, this lush villa has everything you could want in a vacation home – outdoor dining, a rooftop bar and lounge, a generous swimming pool, and verdant gardens, everything steps away from the sand.

Lavishly decorated with marble flooring, wooden decks, and modern furnishings, the home is as beautiful as it is spacious. The living areas open fully to the pool and garden, bringing everyone together regardless of where they like to spend their days. Meanwhile, the rooms make the residence ideal for enjoying each other’s company and, after a day of fun and games, getting some well-deserved rest.
