Casa Zens - Modern Architect's Villa with Reflecting Pool | Barranca, Casa de Campo Resort

Step inside Casa Zens, where the house opens upward into a double-height atrium. A long reflecting pool runs across the floor, and a curved staircase floats over it. The villa sits in Barranca, the resort's quieter inland neighbourhood, and it's the only contemporary build of its kind here. Six bedrooms, twelve guests, and an included cook who handles all the meals.

Mornings start by the pool, with the cream parasols already up. At lunch the group sits at the long stone table inside while the cook moves between the room and the kitchen. A second kitchen behind the wall takes the prep load, so the entertaining side stays clear for drinks. After lunch the group breaks up across the property: some settle into the media room, others drift to the garden or upstairs for a nap. The primary suite opens straight onto the palms, and the bath behind the glass has its own view of the garden.

The Racquet Center is a short cart ride from the gate, with the Shooting Center close behind and Minitas Beach a few minutes further. Teeth of the Dog, ranked the Caribbean's top course by the World Golf Awards, tees off through the resort core. Tee times go through the concierge, and green fees are settled at the pro shop. Casa Zens is the villa to book when the trip is about the design and the quiet, not the proximity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What does the included cook prepare at Casa Zens?
The cook handles all the meals at the villa: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Menus are agreed before each meal, and dietary preferences such as vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, or kid-friendly are accommodated with advance notice. Grocery shopping runs through the concierge and is billed at cost. Most stays settle into family-style mornings, lighter lunches near the pool, and a slower multi-course dinner indoors at the long stone table.

Q: Can Casa Zens host a private dinner or party for the full group?
Yes. The long indoor dining table comfortably seats twelve, and the open layout lets a private chef or outside caterer work from the second kitchen without interrupting the entertaining side. The reflecting pool atrium is a natural cocktail-hour anchor before guests sit down. The resort's events team can also coordinate florals, additional staff, music, and a private mixologist for the night.

Q: How is Casa Zens different from the other villas in Barranca?
Barranca is mostly traditional Casa de Campo architecture: pitched terracotta roofs, courtyard plans, and mature gardens. Casa Zens is the contemporary outlier in the neighbourhood, with a flat roof, glass walls, and a double-height reflecting pool atrium at its centre. It's the right pick if you want the quiet inland location of Barranca but want the villa itself to feel like an architect's project, not a classic resort home.

Q: What's the reflecting pool atrium at Casa Zens?
As you step through the front entry, the floor opens into a long, shallow reflecting pool running between the great room and the staircase, with tropical planters and a double-height ceiling above. A curved travertine staircase floats over the water on its way up to the mezzanine. The pool anchors the layout, visible from every common room, and is the photograph most guests send home from the trip.
