Casa La Huerta is a Careyes original, built by the resort’s founders Gian Franco Brignone and Jean Claude Gailbert and later updated by Alex and Lorena Possenbacher. It sits at Playa Rosa, and the Playa Rosa restaurant on the beach is steps from the villa. Where most Careyes houses are painted in strong colors, La Huerta is curved, sculptural and neutral with dark graphite accents, and the interiors by Raven Kauffman mix Mexican textiles, pottery and photography.
The owner describes six suites, plus a Mongolian yurt in the garden and two rooms that convert to sleeping space, for up to 16 guests. Several suites face the ocean: Serpiente, the largest, has an ocean view, a step-down lounge and direct pool access; Jaguar has a full sea view and opens onto the pool; Sol looks over the ocean and pool; Sonido has a sunset view. Nopal and Jardin face the pool, garden or jungle.
The villa leans toward wellness. El Cielo is a sea-view spa room with a Japanese-style soaking tub, infrared sauna, ice-cold plunge bath, massage table and yoga space. The owner offers on-site massage and can arrange yoga and sound healing. Los Ojos is a screening room with its own bathroom and drinks station, and Sonido comes with a piano, guitar, harp and drums.
The owner rents the house only in its entirety, so no other guests share it. The owner’s site does not list staff; Boutique Homes describes a six-person staff including two chefs, a driver and two housekeepers, and we confirm staffing, meals and food costs in your quote.
What to know before booking. The rooms are spread out rather than under one roof: Sonido has its own entrance in the upper level of the Sound Garden, and the yurt sits in the garden with an outdoor bathroom and shower, which suits an adventurous guest more than a grandparent. Reaching 16 guests uses the El Cielo spa room, which has a hidden queen bed, and the Los Ojos screening room, whose sofa becomes a queen, so those two rooms double as shared spaces. Sol sleeps two on a bunk with full-size mattresses.
