A premier destination for vacationers who seek sea, sunshine and the authentic traditions of southern Mexican culture.

It is the ideal destination to enjoy deep-sea fishing, sailing, tennis, golf, horseback riding, kayaking and bird watching to name just a few activities. Palace by the Sea is close to two world-class championship golf courses, shopping, and fine dining. The gated community of La Punta in which the villa is located, offers a private beach with pool, clubhouse and tennis courts. Feel free to use our Ford Explorer or golf cart or enjoy relaxing walks. Nothing is far away.

Two World Class Golf courses: Isla Navidad and El Tamarindo, as well as Las Hadas Golf Course and El Corazon.

Four lit tennis courts on La Punta with full-time pro.

Swimming and sunbathing at La Punta’s exclusive, Private Beach (rated as one of the world's top private beaches by Condé Nast). Our staff will prepare and serve lunch at the Beach Club. There is ample snorkeling where you can view dozens of stingrays, barracuda and other amazing tropical fish.

And there is more...

Golf

Close by (a 10 minute drive from the Palace) are 2 golf courses: Las Hadas - 18 holes with great ocean views in the midst of scenic tropical vegetation and Club Santiago – 18 holes, more like a city course. El Corazon de Manzanillo – 18 holes with great views - is a 25 minute drive away. A 50 minute drive will bring you to Isla Navidad - 27 holes with spectacular ocean, lagoon and mountain views - a well-kept secret. A 70 minute drive and you can swing the club at El Tamarindo - 18 holes with jungle and breathtaking oceanfront views in midst of a spectacular abundance of nature.
