Villa Quetzal

Villa Quetzal is a calm, modern retreat in Punta de Mita, on the Pacific coast. White walls, warm timber and tropical greenery set the tone, and at dusk the sky over the ocean turns deep blue behind the palms.

The house wraps around a gravel courtyard shaded by a large tree, where a dining table makes a lovely spot for breakfast. The living room opens completely to the pool terrace, and a timber-roofed pavilion by the pool holds another table for long, lazy meals. There's also a gym with weight machines, and a terrace set up for massages among the palms. As a luxury villa rental in Riviera Nayarit, it's easygoing and quietly elegant.

Villa Quetzal has six bedrooms, all bright and white with sheer curtains and soft sofas. The main bedroom has walls of glass that slide back to the terrace and a wide ocean view, while others look out onto lush garden and jungle. Bathrooms are clean and simple, with timber vanities.

Punta de Mita is one of the most exclusive corners of the coast of Mexico, known for its beaches, surf and golf. This villa suits families and groups of friends who want sunshine, space and a peaceful place to come home to after a day by the sea.
