Beauty and Tranquility on 13 Km of Pristine Beach in Playa Las Tortugas

"Villa Las Mañanitas at Playa Las Tortugas is your quiet oasis on
miles of palm-lined sea turtle nesting beach north of Puerto
Vallarta.
“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.
Take a stroll on the pristine sandy beach that goes on as far as the
eye can see. 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. Watch a formation of pelicans fly just
over the wave tops, or see whales breach and dolphins play
practically in your vast front yard.
Paddle by canoe or kayak through the tidal mangrove estuary to see
mulitudes of tropical birds endemic to this beautiful state. Have a
relaxing and intense massage under the palapa by our talented massage
therapist. Take in the aroma of blooming plumeria and just....relax.
Make yourself at home in the gourmet kitchen and prepare fresh fish
for dinner purchased from the fisherman on the beach. You might also
canoe to Platanitos for sarandeado style barbecued fish, or fresh
shrimp cooked over a mesquite grill. Even better, enjoy a traditional
meal prepared by our wonderful cook accompanied by a glass of Chilean
wine or a sip of tequila.
“Playa Las Tortugas is a small, environmentally aware residential
community that features rental options on a handful of the striking
properties, which range in size from 1,600 to 3,400-square feet,
built on what was once a coconut plantation ... “ ~ Coast.

You can visit small typical Mexican villages, enjoy fresh fish and
other local seafood at small rustic beachfront restaurants, tour a
