A cover model for Architectural Digest Mexico, this curvy home will get you thinking outside the box on the rugged coast of Careyes. There will be no fighting over the “good room”; each has an ensuite, king bed, and ocean view. Sunsets are best enjoyed with a cocktail at the wet bar. Earlier in the day, poolside sunbathing is a must. Or you could do it 5 minutes away at Playa Rosa Beach Club.

Follow the soft edges and curves around Casa Ensueno and let the free-flowing design ease you into a relaxed state of mind. Walk past arched doorways to the balcony, where hay-thatched palapas and a shady, canopied trellis cover expansive lounge areas with seating for your group and lots more. Inside, light woods, natural stone, and cream walls contrast green palms and blue ocean views.

Before the included cook and butler have dinner ready, select the perfect pairing from the wine cellar. After you’ve eaten, get crafty at the wet bar and mix up something tropical. Spend the night on the balcony chatting with friends in the furnished lounge, popping in and out of the hot tub as you see fit. Rather a quiet evening? Throw on a flick in the media room.

Careyes is where the jungle meets the sea, leaving you with a dynamic mix of natural wonders to explore. By sea, scuba diving and surfing lessons are an exciting idea. Or you could charter a private yacht, take a boat tour, or plan out a fishing trip. On land, bike or hike the trails along the coast, ride through the jungle on horseback or hang with the locals in Careyes restaurant-lined town square.
