Our story
Two engineers,
one yellow house.
How it started
A hectare above the Pacific.
Casa de Mango was built by Shadman and Irfan — two engineers, longtime friends, who kept flying down to the Nayarit coast on holiday and eventually decided they needed a place of their own. In 2018 they bought a full hectare of jungle in the hills above Litibú, twenty minutes north of the Puerto Vallarta airport, and started drawing. They still live in Houston and come down often.
Four years, one Olympic-length pool, and a lot of banana trees later, the house was finished. Two floors, four bedrooms, a kitchen big enough for a real cook, and a wraparound terrace that catches the afternoon light off the ocean.
Why "Mango"
Painted after a friend's farm.
The color came from Asif, a close friend of the owners who runs an 800-hectare mango farm on the other side of the world. When it came time to paint, the choice was obvious. The house has been mango yellow ever since — and the name stuck to the plaque at the gate.
How we host
Small numbers. High touch.
One villa, one guest at a time.
No overlapping bookings, no shared spaces with strangers. The whole hectare is yours — or the upper or lower unit, if you're a smaller group.
On the ground, not on a form.
We meet you at the airport, drive you up, stock the kitchen, and stay reachable on WhatsApp the entire time you're here.
Local, not corporate.
Rubina cooks. Local guides run the fishing charters and whale trips. The money you spend here stays in Litibú and Sayulita.
