Remember Calvin Klein’s Obsession ads in the ‘80s? Costa Careyes is where legendary photographer Bruce Weber shot many images for the iconic campaign. Today, Careyes is as in-demand as ever among fashion’s elite. Other than designers and celebrities, Careyes manages to keep a fairly low profile, offering privacy, nature, and authenticity, rather than the hustle and bustle of not-so-nearby tourism centers. Casa Mantarraya embodies the spirit of Costa Careyes.

Beside Casa Mantarraya’s main house, the hay-thatched pavilion acts as a second living/dining room. Enjoy group meals under the shade of the palapa while the sun sets beyond the ocean view. Inside, spacious, minimalistic lounges and bedrooms offer you and your guests a chance to truly de-clutter and appreciate the beautiful surroundings while maintaining the highest standards of modern luxury.

Mantarraya is known for its breathtaking sunset views. The terrace lounge, infinity pool, and rooftop hot tub offer incredible vantage points. The privacy of the gated community and the stress relieving assistance of housekeeping, a chef service, and laundry allow your focus to remain on the beauty that surrounds. If you’d like to check back in with the rest of the World, there’s Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and a media room in the air-conditioned interior.

Set out for a swim in the calm waters of Playa Rosa. After, reward yourself with a Mediterranean lunch under the hay-thatched roof of Playa Rosa Beach Club, a restaurant featuring fresh fish caught in the very same waters. Access to the beach and club are included with your stay and their just 10 minutes from home. For dinner, Pueblo25 shows of locally sourced ingredients and cooking techniques, as well as an extensive wine selection. Then, dance the night away at Cocodrilo Azul.
