About this property

Villa Tayrona, Luxury Tropical Retreat for Groups

Hosting meaningful celebrations, retreats, and reunions is Villa Tayrona’s specialty. Tucked into lush gardens, the villa is inspired by modern Mexican and Bali-style tropical luxury. Villa Tayrona’s unique, 9-bungalow layout is ideal for private groups of up to 24 people. Our 5-person house staff is here to help with travel planning and pamper guests from start to finish.

Villa Tayrona is just 7 blocks (walking distance) from Bucerias' gorgeous beach, and 25 minutes from the PVR airport.

This listing is to rent the entire villa, giving your group private access to all 9 bungalows and the common areas. Common areas include a professional kitchen, an outdoor bar, a large dining terrace, a spacious lobby, and the spectacular pool and gardens. A discreet, walled-in property right in the middle of town, Villa Tayrona is often described as an oasis.

Included in your stay is our 5-person team: a houseman/bartender, 3 housekeepers, and a maintenance person. Your hosts, Elly and Andrés, are here to help with travel planning. Private chef, massages, and other services can be arranged upon request. Together, we welcome all types of groups and events, and are here to help you make your stay as special as possible.

Each room has its own personality and special touches. Some have indoor-outdoor showers, others have direct access to the pool, and others have private terraces. Every nook was designed with intention, and filled with unique art from across the country.

Other notes:

- Our nightly rate is for group sizes of up to 18 guests. In order to keep our listing affordable for smaller groups, we charge a fee of $500 pesos / night / guest after the first 18 guests. This is payable upon arrival.

-The Ginger Kitchen is a large, professional kitchen that our guests can use themselves or where the private chef (contracted upon request) can work her magic. There are also beautiful, fully equipped kitchens inside of 6 of the bungalows.

-Filtered drinking water is provided throughout your stay.

-Each bathroom is stocked with bath towels, pool towels, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, and hand soap and body lotion.

-You can connect through wifi to our Sonos surround-sound system to easily play your favorite playlists.

-In our garage is a rack of extra accessories for our guests to enjoy, which include board games, beach gear, yoga mats, kitchen equipment, etc.

-Our neighborhood has roosters and dogs who like to communicate to one another. If you are a very light sleeper, this might not be the right space for you.

-We don’t offer laundry services in-house because there are several laundromats close to the villa. They are very affordable, offer 24-hour service, and even fold your laundry.

-The rooms do not have TVs, though there is one smart TV in the Ginger Kitchen (without cable service). All of the rooms do have high-speed WiFi.

-Bucerías is a walkable town and we are in a central location. There is, however, a steep hill between our property and the beach.

-Since our roofs are made of thatch, smoking is strictly prohibited on our entire property except for a designated smoking area in the garage. No candles or other types of fire are permitted.

-We are meticulous about cleanliness. Given the tropical climate and the handwoven, natural thatch material in our roofs, though, it is possible some small insects make an appearance. These are harmless and our cleaning team provides immediate support.

-The pool is not fenced in and is dangerous for small children without supervision.

-Villa Tayrona is located in a residential area. Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that noise be kept to a minimum after 10pm.

-Our garage fits two vehicles of average size. Street parking is safe and readily available.

-Our houseman, Alex ("A-Rod"), is a professional bartender and experienced concierge who can help set up additional services, mix drinks, serve food, help shop, etc.

-Also part of our House Staff are Dulce, Angy, Reyna and Daniel, who provide complementary housekeeping services and keep the grounds, pool and common areas beautiful.

-Suggested gratuity to split between our 5-person House Staff would be around $150-200 pesos / guest / night.

-Private chef services are not included in our nightly rate. This is because we need a whole team to offer food services (our groups are big!) and because we encourage you to enjoy meals in fabulous local restaurants, too. Please contact us for Chef Patricia's most updated menus and rates.

-We have thrown our whole hearts into creating this space. You will feel the love as soon as you step into our oasis.

-Look for us @villa.tayrona to learn about our story!

Exceeded all expectations!!!

No words I express can fully describe the incredible experience my group and I had here. The entire staff was top tier and the food was so delicious! Elly was such a help and so patient from beginning to end. This retreat was one to remember and Im so grateful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to anyone looking for peace, pampering, and extremely clean quarters.

About the host

Hosted by Elly Rohrer

Host profile image
Andrés is a civil engineer from Monterrey who arrived in this part of Mexico in 2004 and began working as a construction site supervisor. Over time, he built his own construction company, which specializes in high-end finishes and created Villa Tayrona.

Elly is a Swiss-American who has been living in Bucerías since 2011. She is the founder of Human Connections, a nonprofit that connects travelers with local artisans through cultural tours.

Andrés and Elly got married in 2017 and created Villa Tayrona as a synthesis of their passions.

Why they chose this property

Just 30 minutes away from Sayulita and the Puerto Vallarta airport, Bucerías is a beach town known for its extensive coastline and cultural diversity. Villa Tayrona is located in a less touristy part of town, surrounded by little shops and taco stands, and just 7 blocks away from the beach. Here, you will enjoy an immersive, localized experience while having easy access to all of the tourist attractions.

What makes this property unique

This is a space unlike any other. The quality of the craftsmanship and furnishings is top-of the-line, and the layout is completely different from a traditional villa.

It's a great option for large groups consisting of multiple couples or families, as each of the bungalows offers privacy but the common spaces allow for gatherings.

Hundreds of five-star reviews (search for "Villa Tayrona Bucerias" online) attest to the magic of our space and, in particular, our outstanding staff. Elly, Alex and the team are here to support you during all steps of the trip planning process. We love working with retreat organizers and individuals alike to organize one-of-a-kind getaways.
