Villa Las Mañanitas, luxurious, private beachfront residence
“Villa Las Mañanitas” at Playa Las Tortugas is your luxurious, private, beachfront oasis. Enjoy the warm sand, sunny weather, and of course your own pool and jacuzzi.
There are miles of beach lined with palm trees, not lines of tourists or beach vendors.
Our staff would love to prepare some authentic dishes for you, or you may create your own in the well-appointed, very completely furnished kitchen.
You’ll find plenty of activities to choose from such as kayaking in the estuary or on the waves, surfing and boogieboarding….....
.......simply relaxing at the pool bar…......
...........having a massage under the beachfront palapa, or .......
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.
Take a stroll on the pristine sandy beach that goes on as far as the eye can see. Watch a formation of pelicans fly just over the wave tops, or see whales breach and dolphins play practically in your vast front yard.
“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
