Along the Pacific Coast , just one hour north of Manzanillo or two hours south of Puerto Vallarta, lies a stretch of coastline developed from a popular destination for a fortunate few into a way of life.

Careyes is now synonymous with words such as intimate, luxurious, tranquil, primitive and yet sophisticated. Careyes' architecture encompasses wide open spaces overlooking expansive vistas with little visible separation between what is part of the home and what is outside terrace.

The impressive architecture of these houses and their sophisticated decoration, reveal a mere inkling of the real "Magic of Careyes".

The name "Careyes" which refers to a marine turtle protected by this community is known internationally, and has been for years a familiar word with the affluent, whether one is in Los Angeles, New York, Paris or Rome. 

A Careyes vacation is an opportunity to feel at ease with nature in an idyllic setting to enjoy peace and tranquility, spectacular scenery and wonderful beaches. The ideal way to do this is by renting one of the homes of Casas de Careyes.

Set in the most secluded of areas, there is a distinct absence of commercialism and mass tourism in Careyes, a place that is rumored to be "Mexico 's best-kept secret". The houses, which are available for rent, are enigmas in their own right, exuding the mystery of a place still unknown to many.

The Mexican-Mediterranean style of the villas blends the modern look with the primitive thatch of palapa roofs. Designed by world-acclaimed architects, these spectacular homes have been featured in publications around the Globe.

Vegetation and positioning ensure the total privacy and feeling of seclusion of each villa. Vanishing pools and bedroom suites looking out to the Pacific, open air palapa living/dining areas and dramatic tropical landscaping create an atmosphere of elegant tranquility.

This is a creation of a private, un-commercial hideaway in an unspoiled, beautiful region and a coastline of untamed splendor. The special homes are built in style that merges with and protects the natural landscape.

Costa Careyes, named after the giant sea turtles (Carey) that lay their eggs upon its shores, has an ideal tropical and dry climate with only twenty days of rain a year, palm trees and cactus grow side by side, and the caduceus forest teams with exotic wild life.

Castles and Casas of Careyes set on the most spectacular and exuberant bays along the Pacific Ocean, with ideal climate, the lush of untouched land and unarguably some of the most ravishing views of ocean and cliff along the Pacific Coast.

Service is superb, with well-trained staff and excellent chefs; you can't help feeling special while staying at Casas de Careyes.

Choose among the more luxurious 4 - 7 bedroom villas lining the cliffs above the bay, or the Casitas situated next to the Careyes Hotel or perhaps the rustic bungalows on Playa Rosa Beach.

Three of the largest villas are Sol de Oriente, Sol de Occidente y Casa Mi Ojo. All the villas are fully staffed; rental cars are available in Puerto Vallarta or Manzanillo airports. Airport transfers are available on request.

Long distance, tips, taxes and extras are not included in rates. Special rates available on request for small parties and long stays.
