Spread across a single level and with panoramic ocean views, Villa Opalo is a Mexican marvel. This contemporary villa offers five bedrooms, providing accommodation for up to ten guests, with a host of additional extras guaranteed to make a getaway here one to remember.

The villa sits in the exclusive community of Porta Fortuna. Famous for its ‘Mexiterranean’ architecture that combines classic hacienda style with sleek Mediterranean minimalism, the villas here are serene and beautifully appointed. Instant access to some of the region’s finest championship golf courses, spa treatments, tennis courts and fully-equipped gyms keep even the most active guests happy. But for a more languid pace, the pristine beach beckons, with its powder-soft sand and clear waters. Keep an eye out for turtles, dolphins, and even whales.

Villa Opalo has the added advantage of being in a gated community, giving you much greater privacy and security. The layout is open and merges the interior and exterior effortlessly. A huge sun terrace surrounds an infinity pool and includes an al fresco dining area and gas grill for those family evening meals. There are five bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, a private living area, and direct access to the terrace and pool area. Three of the remaining bedrooms have two full-size doubles each, while the final bedroom has a king-size bed and an office desk for when those emails really have to be answered. All of the smaller bedrooms have garden views, with the master bedroom benefiting from sweeping ocean vistas.

Additional space includes a superbly appointed gourmet kitchen and a courtyard with hanging chairs where you can retreat from the midday sunshine and relax. The décor is simple yet elegant. Villa Opalo captures the languid, laid-back vibe of Punta Mita and the Yucatan peninsula in all its glory.
