Litibú · Nayarit · México
A yellow villa
on a jungle hillside.
Twenty minutes from Puerto Vallarta airport. Mountains on one side, the Pacific on the other, and a mile of private beach at the foot of the hill.
The house
An hectare of jungle, painted mango yellow.
Casa de Mango sits on a full hectare above the Pacific in the Canadian expat pocket of Litibú. Two floors, four bedrooms, an Olympic-sized pool, banana trees, and a garden so green it hums. Rent the whole villa, or just the upper or lower unit.

The beach
A mile of sand at the foot of the hill.
Down a short jungle path from the villa, the coast opens into a wide, quiet stretch of Pacific — good for long walks at low tide, longboarding at dawn, and doing absolutely nothing under a palm at three in the afternoon.
What's out there
The Nayarit coast, at your pace.
From dawn fishing trips out of Punta Mita harbor to slow evenings on Sayulita's painted streets — we'll arrange as much or as little as you want.
Year round
Sport fishing
Mahi, sailfish, marlin. Half- and full-day charters out of Punta Mita, competitive rates.
Anytime
Sayulita nights
Boho shops, mole tacos, mezcal bars, and the loudest sunsets on the coast.
Arrival
Land in Puerto Vallarta. We take it from there.
We meet you curbside at PVR with an air-conditioned car and the villa's keys. The drive up to Litibú is about twenty minutes along the coast — enough time to swap flight stories and point out the surf breaks before we pull off for the grocery run.
On the way in
Stock the kitchen at La Comer.
PVR airport to the villa is a twenty-minute drive through the hills, and there's nothing much to eat once you're up here. On the way in, we stop at La Comer — the good grocery store — so you can load up on fresh fish, produce, wine, cheese, tortillas and whatever else you'll want in the fridge for the week.
Cook it yourself in the villa's full kitchen, or add our in-house cook for $100/day and let Rubina turn the market run into breakfast, lunch and dinner.
At the table
Dinner, cooked in the house.
Add our in-house cook for the length of your stay — home-style Mexican cooking with the day's catch, market vegetables, fresh tortillas, and whatever's ripe in the garden. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, however you want it.
$100 / day
