With one look at Casa China Blanca, billed as “Punta de Mita’s most elegant modern villa,” you’ll know where you’d love to spend your vacation! Its scenic location overlooking Banderas Bay is just the beginning. As the villa’s website proclaims, “Our guests lounge in unparalleled luxury… gatherings of family and friends will enjoy spacious guest suites, inviting dining areas, and a pristine infinity pool. The open floor plan and minimalist design are perfect canvases for personalized events such as weddings and corporate retreats.” Sounds like it can handle everything? It does, with an additional dollop of glamour: Casa China Blanca is a favorite site for filmmakers and fashion photographers. You can see it in movies such as Limitless and in advertising such as the Saks Fifth Avenue Spring 2013 catalog.
The villa has room for a crowd — 5 suites with king beds and private bathrooms, and a 12-person dining table, can handle your group with ease. Cook to your heart’s content in a fully equipped kitchen including two fridges — then clean up with full-size washers and dryers for laundry, then get ready to play. All the “toys” are included: tennis equipment, boogie boards, sand toys, yoga mats, and even a crib and booster seat for the tiny ones. Take advantage of the services of the villa’s concierge, who’ll make sure your stay is fabulous from the first moment; she can arrange for spa and beauty treatments, surfboards and paddle boards, babysitting, even grocery shopping. A sumptuous vacation home with abundant space, great views, phenomenal pool, and staff to cater to you…it’s all at Casa China Blanca.
