A clifftop paradise with vast terraces and an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific

Perched on a dramatic cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Casa La Joya is a masterpiece of luxury design in the exclusive town of San Pancho on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit. This magnificent villa, whose name translates to “The Jewel House,” lives up to its name, offering an experience that is both exclusive and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.

An impressive infinity pool wraps around the front of the villa, seemingly spilling into the Pacific below. Sun loungers and umbrellas line the pool’s edge, while in-pool loungers offer a serene place to top up a tan. At one end of the pool is a bubbling Jacuzzi, perfect for a relaxing soak; at the other, a cosy fire pit beckons for sunset cocktails and intimate conversations under a star-filled sky.

Across the different terraces are plenty of places to relax and socialise. From the spacious outdoor lounge and dining palapa to the relaxed barbecue area to quiet corners with plush lounges and swing seats, guests can spend quality time with loved ones or enjoy moments of solitude to simply take in their surroundings.

Designed by a renowned Mexican architect, the interiors blend sleek, contemporary lines with traditional elements and local materials. The use of natural stone, rich hardwoods, and vibrant textiles creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the breathtaking views from every room. Large, open-air living spaces blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, allowing guests to feel the gentle ocean breeze and hear the rhythmic sound of the waves no matter where they are.

The common areas, including a cosy lounge, a spacious dining room opening out to the terrace, and a gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar, are all designed for socialising and relaxation. High-end amenities, from state-of-the-art sound systems to a dedicated staff, ensure that every need is met with seamless efficiency.

Moreover, for those seeking a wellness escape, the villa offers a dedicated yoga terrace along with a large, fully equipped gym.

Each of the beautifully appointed bedrooms, offers an en-suite bathroom and a private terrace or balcony. The two master bedrooms are particular highlights, featuring outdoor bathtubs with ocean views. Two rooms are particularly well set-up for those travelling with children. First is the family suite comprising a king-size bed and bunk beds for two. Secondly, there is a dedicated kids’ space on the lower ground floor with a games lounge – complete with air hockey, mini basketball game, a games table and a Smart TV – plus queen-size bunk beds sleeping up to eight.

With its stunning architecture and luxurious amenities, Casa La Joya offers the perfect place to create unforgettable moments with loved ones against the magnificent backdrop of the Nayarit coastline.

About the area

Villa La Joya is located in the vibrant, Bohemian town of San Pancho (aka San Francisco) on the Riviera Nayarit. Often hailed as the “cultural capital” of the state, this charming town offers a taste of authentic Mexican culture. It features quaint cafes, boutique shops, excellent art galleries, and a central plaza that comes alive with live music in the evenings.

San Pancho is also known for its beautiful, expansive beach, where the Pacific surf provides excellent waves for more experienced surfers. Nearby Sayulita and Punta Mita offer waves for all skill levels.

Beyond San Pancho, the Nayarit region offers a wealth of activities and experiences. Guests can enjoy a host of water sports from paddle boarding and kayaking to snorkelling and scuba diving, or take a private boat trip to the Marietas Islands.

The area is a paradise for nature lovers, with opportunities for hiking, bird watching, horse riding, whale and dolphin watching (in season), and ziplining or canopy tours through the lush jungle. It is also perfect for golf enthusiasts with several world-class golf courses designed by renowned architects, which offer spectacular ocean and mountain views.
