Villa Entrada del Mar

Villa Entrada del Mar takes its name from the way in. A timber walkway zigzags from the entrance toward the water, and the house unfolds along it: palapa roofs, clean lines, local stone, and interiors kept deliberately spare so the Caribbean does the talking. The main house holds five suites, each with a stone-finished ensuite, an ocean view, and a sea-facing balcony made for long afternoons. A separate casita, built in the same style, adds three more suites and its own stretch of sand beneath the palms.

The living spaces have the ease of a beach bungalow at a far larger scale. A Viking kitchen serves tables indoors and alfresco, a pool table and Sonos sound carry the evenings, and a Peloton is on hand for anyone keeping a routine. Outside, the pool and terrace run straight into the white sand of the bay, with kayaks and paddleboards waiting at the water's edge. This is where the house comes into its own as a wedding villa: vows on the sand, dinner on the terrace, the casita garden for the party that follows, and the closest family and friends staying on site. With a private chef, butler, concierge, and daily housekeeping included, the family can be guests at their own celebration.
