"Villa Las Mañanitas at Playa Las Tortugas is your quiet oasis on miles of palm-lined sea turtle nesting beach north of Puerto Vallarta.
“The next morning, about 15 miles down the coast, I find my Shangri-La, the place I could recommend without reservation or caveat. I almost miss it as I vacillate about whether to follow a dirt road because of a sign that simply states Playa Las Tortugas.” The Washington Post.
Take a stroll on the pristine sandy beach that goes on as far as the eye can see. Experience indescribable sunsets while sipping something fruity and tropical from a coconut, grilling on the BBQ, or enjoying a glass of wine by the pool. Watch a formation of pelicans fly just over the wave tops, or see whales breach and dolphins play practically in your vast front yard.
Paddle by canoe or kayak through the tidal mangrove estuary to see multitudes of tropical birds endemic to this beautiful state. Have a relaxing and intense massage under the palapa by our talented massage therapist. Take in the aroma of blooming plumeria and just....relax.
Make yourself at home in the gourmet kitchen and prepare fresh fish for dinner purchased from the fisherman on the beach. You might also canoe to Platanitos for sarandeado style barbecued fish, or fresh shrimp cooked over a mesquite grill. Even better, enjoy a traditional meal prepared by our wonderful cook accompanied by a glass of Chilean wine or a sip of tequila.
“Playa Las Tortugas is a small, environmentally aware residential community that features rental options on a handful of the striking properties, which range in size from 1,600 to 3,400-square feet, built on what was once a coconut plantation ... “ ~ Coast.
