An impressive clifftop haven with an infinity pool and panoramic ocean views

Set on a jungle-clad headland high above the Pacific Ocean, in the prestigious enclave of Costa Careyes, Casa La Ceiba is a stunning luxury villa that combines minimalist design with coastal tranquillity. Sleeping up to 14 guests in seven bedrooms, this sprawling, two-acre estate is perfect for family gatherings, group retreats, or exclusive celebrations in uncompromised luxury and total seclusion.

Designed by acclaimed Mexican architect Diego Villaseñor, the villa merges soft minimalist curves, graceful arches, and open-air spaces that let the trade winds, natural light, and panoramic ocean vistas take centre stage. A muted palette of sand, white, and warm light wood frames dramatic 360-degree views of the surrounding jungle canopy and ocean horizon.

A stunning, L-shaped infinity pool that merges into the Pacific horizon is the focal point of the outdoor space. Poolside loungers and an overwater hammock are perfect for relaxing after a refreshing dip, while the shaded pool lounge and dining area provide the ideal setting for relaxed meals or sunset cocktails.

Across the grounds, the villa boasts various outdoor living spaces. From a pergola-shaded patio with day beds, hammocks, and lounge seating to dome-roofed dining and lounge areas, there is plenty of space to relax and socialise with loved ones. An Italian wood-fired terracotta oven and a barbecue grill lend themselves to relaxed al fresco feasts. Moreover, two rooftop terraces provide idyllic settings for golden-hour cocktails, stargazing, and soaking up panoramic ocean views.

Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy a floodlit artificial-grass tennis court and a private yoga studio immersed in lush greenery, perfect for morning meditation or private yoga sessions.

Indoors, bright white walls, sand-toned textiles, and rich native woods complement the estate’s light-filled aesthetic. Shuttered windows invite gentle trade winds to flow through the villa. A media room with a large-screen TV is ideal for entertaining all ages, while a guest office set-up allows guests to keep up with their emails during their stay. The villa’s fully equipped, dine-in kitchen can be used by guests or a private chef for creating unforgettable meals.

Seven en-suite bedrooms and suites are spread across the main villa and a separate bungalow. The main villa is home to four spacious master suites with living areas and private balconies offering serene jungle or ocean views, as well as two comfortable bedrooms with outdoor access. For ultimate seclusion, the separate two-level bungalow suite comprises a spacious bedroom, a living room with kitchenette, a private courtyard, and its own private plunge pool.

With its vast outdoor living spaces, chic interiors, and panoramic views, Casa La Ceiba is a serene Pacific sanctuary perfect for a luxury villa holiday on the coast of Mexico.
