Four bedrooms sleep eight in a Los Lagos garden villa, with an included cook handling all the meals. The fit: a family with kids who'll spend the day at the beach, two couples on a long weekend, or a friend group who want the beach and a real home base without a sprawling e...

Walk out the front gate at La Darsena and you're inside the Marina — the yacht club, the boutiques, the dock at the end of the walk. The townhouse sleeps four across two bedrooms. It suits couples or a small family who came for the boats and the water, not a sprawling villa with a private pool. Mornings start with a short walk to a café table by the water, the dock alre...

At Casa del Lago the lawn runs down to the lake, fairways of The Links across the water and no road between.

Cross the lawn at the back of the villa and the path leads straight to a thatched gazebo at the cliff edge, with the Caribbean Sea below and nobody else within earshot. This is Punta Arrecife, a five-bedroom oceanfront villa on the eastern promontory of Punta Minitas, sleeping ten across a plantation-style estate with an included cook handling all the meals. Most days s...

Walk in through the bamboo and Villa Esfera circles around its own gardens. The two-level round villa sits in La Catalina, with a curved infinity pool at the center and twin thatched palapas pulling the layout into a yin-yang from above. Five bedrooms sleep twelve, sixteen with the bunk room, and an included cook handles all the meals. Mornings start on the upper terrac...

Walk in with the kids running ahead and the courtyard pulls them to the center of the house. A wooden plank crosses a reflection pool. Palms grow through the open roof above. Every room opens onto the courtyard. Villa Alfa is built for families who travel together and like the house to do the gathering. It sits on a quiet road in El Ingenio, central to almost everything in...

Walk the cobblestones of Altos de Chavón in the late afternoon and the path home runs along the bluff: river canyon on one side, Caribbean on the other. River House is a five-bedroom villa in Vista Chavón, set on the cliff where the Chavón meets the sea, sleeping ten, with an included cook who handles all meals. Most days, lunch is served on the covered terrace with swe...

Walk down the brick path from the back lawn and the sand opens into your own crescent cove behind the tree line. Villa Mar Azul sits at the east end of Punta Minitas, an eight-bedroom beachfront villa with its own private stretch of sand. Sleeps sixteen, with an included cook handling all the meals. The pool runs along a terracotta deck above the sand. The thatched pavi...

Walk in and the ceiling opens to sky. The front of the villa is a courtyard garden you cross before you reach anyone.

By mid-morning the group spreads through the outdoor pavilion...

Pour a drink on the upper terrace at Vista del Polo as the match starts below. Four bedrooms sleep eight in a brand-new modern villa in El Polo, with an included cook handling all the meals. The fit: a polo-week group of eight, a friend group who came for the modern statement villa, or two couples on a long weekend who chose the new-build over the traditional estate. Mo...

Walk down from the pool terrace and the sand is right there — a full stretch of private beach with a dock running into Minitas Bay. Casa Minitas sits in Punta Minitas, on the same shoreline as the resort's Minitas Beach Club, so the villa's own sand opens onto the bay the rest of the resort walks to. Eight bedrooms sleep sixteen, with an included chef handling all the meal...

At Villa Agua, you arrive across a travertine path that floats over a shallow reflecting pond, palms standing in the water on either side. This is a five-bedroom contemporary family villa set into the Barranca hillside, with sea views from the upper floor and an included cook handling all the meals for ten. The villa is built around water. The curved pool runs the lengt...

Load the clubs onto the cart in the morning and a short ride from the gate takes you to Teeth of the Dog.

Back from the round, the open-air pavilion at the centre of the property is w...
