Location: Lo De Marcos, Nayarit, Mexican Riviera, Mexico (50 Minutes North of Puerto Vallarta Airport)
Accommodations: Ocean-Front House, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2)
Mar al Cielo is 4 hectares (11 acres) of secluded jungle and beach-front paradise, just a 50 minute drive north of Puerto Vallarta and 5 minutes from Lo de Marcos, yet a world away. Unlike any other beachfront resorts, here at Mar al Cielo you alone are privilege to intimate interactions with nature and surrounded by unsurpassed serene beauty, preserved and maintained as a natural jungle reserve. Mar al Cielo boasts a 5 kilometer system of private jungle walking trails for guests that seek to explore the truly wild places that remain.
Wake up to the sounds of exotic birds and the breeze rustling the palms. Come sit on the private terrace overlooking the ocean to gaze at flocks of sea birds, parrots and eagles sailing by. See and hear giant whales splash and play just a short distance in front of you as you relax in your swinging hammock. Explore the trails and discover the wonders of this rare and precious habitat, how many of the more than 350 listed bird species in this area can you identify? Stroll down to the private beach or climb the hilltop path to see spectacular ocean and jungle views while capturing glimpses of armadillos or kotomundis just wandering by. Picnic on the beach, swim in the ocean, wander 10 minutes along the sand to the next little bay to enjoy breakfast or a taste of fresh grilled fish and cerveza at our local restaurant, or simply just relax and enjoy while you gaze at the stars soaking in the outdoor bath.
Accommodations at Mar al Cielo are unique and luxurious, drawing on regional architecture, design motifs, materials and artwork. Casa Pichichin is a self-contained home with terraces on two levels, fully equipped kitchen, 1-bedroom with king size bed and lush cotton linens with private outdoor shower and bath. Enjoy amazing views from every angle of beaches, ocean, mountains, tropical jungle and more stars than you could ever imagine!
Here at Mar al Cielo we are strongly committed to protecting our rare and precious bit of paradise and to contributing in a positive way to the nearby community. Guests are encouraged to speak the language, savor the food and enjoy the beauty of Mexican living. Come to immerse yourself in a world where privacy, nature and relaxation become your reality.
We recommend a rental car for your trip to Mar al Cielo as it is 2 kilometers down a jungle road from the beautiful beach town of Lo de Marcos. Taxis are also available in Lo de Marcos and on request.
