  1. Hi, I’m curious why you recommend avoiding hiking on Isla Bastimentos. The adventure of getting dropped off at Red Frog beach, traversing the island to the Palmar resort, and then leaving everything behind on a coast-side walk through Caribbean-front jungle to Playa Larga was among my favorite activities while in country, though I do love an outside-the-box adventure. It felt entirely safe, if only very isolated. Anyone comfortable in wilderness would relish the experience equally. Getting in the surf on a desolate beach with potential undertow might have been a bit risky, but the hike itself was devoid of threats (and our taxi boat picked us up right on schedule 7 hours later, so I’m wondering where the caution comes from. Thanks.

      It has been many years since I was there, but there was a history of muggings there—and even a murder of a young woman. That tip is mostly for women to use extra caution and I specify (at night or alone) for that reason.

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
