PARALELO 19 PRIVATE VILLAS

By Chris Boyle

Just 45 minutes from Manzanillo International Airport, guests of these three unique homes with more than three kilometers of private beach and a spectacular golf course will feel transported to the Pacific version of paradise.

These secluded, luxurious properties follow the natural contours of the land to offer 360-degree views of the jungle, golf course and Pacific Ocean. Nestled in a 1,800-acre private ecological reserve, Las Terrazas, La Cruz and Casa de Piedra represent a perfect blend of world-class architecture with superb golf in an unparalleled natural environment.

“In a setting like this, architecture must respect the environment to the degree that it becomes a part of it. Understanding this, residents of these homes will enjoy them to the fullest,” says world-renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta, designer of Las Terrazas and La Cruz.

With either six or seven bedrooms, the generous space of Las Terrazas and La Cruz is matched only by the perfect balance of private indoor/outdoor living that can only be attained in the wonderfully mild year-round weather of El Tamarindo. The four-bedroom Casa de Piedra, designed by award-winning firm KMD, is perched on the mountainside overlooking El Tamarindo Beach, where it seems to float over a canopy of trees.
