Situated on a bluff overlooking the Ixtapa coast with stunning views across the Pacific, this villa is an inspiring blend of elements that are both rustic and and chic.

The juxtaposition of elements and design aesthetic are seamlessly integrated into the land for maximum effect and impact.

We love architect Diego Villasenor's vision of primitive, natural elegance and sense of scale that invokes space and freedom. Coexisting harmoniously with the natural environment, the views across the ocean will take you away.

Designed by famed Mexican architect Diego Villasenor, the juxtaposition of elements and design aesthetic are seamlessly integrated into the land for maximum effect and impact. Quoted in Architectural Digest about his vision, Villasenor says architecture is "about the art of living… and has to emerge from the forms and mechanisms that nature has to offer.”

The masterful use of all-natural materials skillfully mixed with a modern adobe construction and the expansive central palapa create an elegant and interesting compound perched above the sea. Fresh white interiors, cool concrete and a minimalist and modern approach to decor keep it casual and easy.

Comprised of the expansive main living and dining areas under the massive central palapa, the house features four en-suite bedrooms that sleep up to eight guests. The primary bedroom includes its own living space and opens out to the gardens. The dramatic scale and indoor outdoor living style create bright open spaces with room to spread out and entertain.

The tropical and zen gardens offer the best of the native landscape around an infinity pool, expansive sun decks with loungers, and a magnificent view. With clean minimalist style, the mix of contemporary, traditional and rustic design along with sweeping views will take your breath away.

Optional Services: Cook with assistant, massage

Around

The beautiful stretch of the Pacific sits along Mexico's La Costa Grande and is a short drive from the main sandy resort beaches of Ixtapa. Just 15 minutes to the charming and traditional town of Zihuatanejo, this unique area offers both resort luxuries and the wild and natural Mexican countryside.

The small beachfront town of Troncones is under an hour away, and the tiny fishing village of Barra de Potosi sits along the southern end of the 15-mile-long stretch of beach between Playa Blanca and Playa Larga. La Saladita beach is 35 minutes away, famous for its surfing breaks. There's a world class golf course and deep sea fishing boats for hire throughout the area.
