Coconut Palms and Undeveloped Beach Paradise
Villa Las Palmas in Playa Las Tortugas is your perfect tropical get-away. Located 70 miles north of Puerto Vallarta, a 1-½ hour drive through old growth jungle and quaint Mexican villages, is an isolated stretch of beach as far as the eye can see. In a coconut palm grove with manicured gardens, swimming pool and sea turtle sanctuary is our home away from home.
The Entryway and First Floor
This home with 2 bedrooms on the ground floor each with full bath, walk- in shower and individual beach access with outdoor shower will meet all your needs.
A king-sized bed in each room decorated with Mexican art from Tonala make the bedroom suites comfortable and pleasing. The bedrooms have their own terraces, surrounded by gardens filled with exotic plants, and an outdoor shower for your use returning from the beach or pool.
You’ll find more than ample closet space for everyone’s clothing and beach toys behind the beautiful custom-made huanacaxtle wood doors in both bedrooms.
The Main Floor
A winding stairwell guides you to the second floor living, dining, and kitchen areas with 2 covered patios used for your morning coffee or just as a viewing area of the flower gardens and beach. It is perfect for creating a pleasant social vacation atmosphere, has a TV, disc and CD player, ½ bath, and seating arrangement with trundle bed if needed for additional guests.
Traditional Tiled Kitchen
The open kitchen, finished with traditional talavera tile from Dolores Hidalgo, has all you will need to cook your favorite dishes with locally obtained seafood and ingredients. A bar with stools will help your company keep you engaged as you prepare the feast. Prefer not to cook? Have our chefs prepare up to 2 meals a day Mexican-style from a varied menu.
A dining nook with open views of the wonderful gardens completes this bright colorful level of our home adorned with regional art, talavara tile as well as decorative glazed pots and vases.
Your View from the Living Area
From the main living level look down through the palms onto the warm blue water and sand of the Pacific Ocean. And, yes, the sunsets are frequently as spectacular as our unique setting.
Enjoy Swimming and Sunning
You have the opportunity to either enjoy the sunning and playing in the waves, or a swim in the fresh water pool at Playa Las Tortugas, with it’s palm-roofed palapa and comfortable sunning chairs, or just sit and relax with a cool drink.
Rooftop Terrace, Palm-thatched Palapa, and BBQ Grilling
Now take the staircase to the roof terrace with it’s own thatched palapa to cook on our Weber grill, sunbathe, play board games, read a book or just sit and listen to the rolling waves on the beach, watch the incredible sunsets, stare at the stars so brilliant you think you can touch them. The chairs and lounges are so comfortable, the breezes so pleasing and the views so incredible that you may not leave this inviting terrace other than to refill your drink or obtain a snack. Need some shade? The tall coconut palms and palapa offer you a respite from the sun. Some of our guests say they hardly ever come down from the rooftop because it’s their very favorite place, in the world.

Activities (on site or nearby)
Activities available will keep you busy and entertained. The beach is wide, clean and essentially uninhabited for miles to the south where you can sunbathe, boogie board, bodysurf or try your luck with a surfboard. You will see some of the locals surfing in this premier surfing area down near the mangrove-lined tidal estuary and bird sanctuary just north of you. Don’t want to be that active? Whale watch either from the beach or schedule a chartered trip to see these magnificent mammals up close. Keep an eye out for the dolphins cruising just off shore. You could fish from the beach, charter a boat from a nearby fishing village for the bigger catch or help release tbaby sea turtles in the fall from the adjacent Turtle conservation camp. Taking a kayak into the tidal estuary to see the many species of birds or visit the crocodile nesting sites can be a thrill. Don’t forget the beach walks or runs and while out there pick up seashells for you collection. Schedule a massage beachside or on the palapa for the ultimate in relaxation with the music of the waves to sooth you.
The El Cora Waterfall is found just outside the small mountain village of El Cora, where you’ll discover several beautiful waterfalls. The highest is over 100 feet, and has a wonderful pool at the bottom of it.
The closest golf courses are at Tepíc (about 1 hour 15 minutes) where you can play all day for about $40 USD while your family enjoys the swimming pools and tennis courts of this local country club, and the “Flamingo” (about 1 hour 40 minutes) towards Puerto Vallarta.
