Casa Torre
A distinctive private home above Playa Rosa, where five ocean-facing suites, tropical gardens and open-air living come together with exceptional views across the Pacific coast of Careyes.
Discover Casa Torre
Set high above Playa Rosa in Careyes, Casa Torre is a distinctive private home designed by Mexican architect Diego Villaseñor. Built into a terraced hillside, the house brings together five private ocean-facing bungalow suites, open-air palapas, tropical gardens and expansive views across the Pacific coast.
The architecture is closely connected to its setting. Living and dining take place largely in the open air, with shaded palapas and several dining areas allowing different parts of the house to be enjoyed throughout the day. The suites sit apart from these shared spaces, giving families and groups an unusual balance between privacy and time together.
Casa Torre is also a fully staffed home. A house manager, private chef, butler, housekeeping team, gardener and boat captain look after the practical details of the stay, from daily meals and housekeeping to time on the water. It allows the house to retain the ease and privacy of a private residence while providing the support that makes an extended stay feel effortless.
For guests drawn to architecture, privacy and a strong connection to the coast, Casa Torre offers a particularly complete way to experience Careyes.
The Setting
Outdoor living defines daily life at Beach House Arvi Estate. Across the property, expansive terraces, shaded p
Casa Torre occupies an elevated position above Playa Rosa, within the private coastal community of Careyes on Mexico’s Pacific coast. From the house, the landscape falls away towards the sea, opening long views across the bay, surrounding hills and distinctive architecture of Careyes.
Rather than sitting apart from the landscape, the house follows the contours of its terraced hillside. Tropical gardens connect the different levels, while pathways, terraces and open-air spaces create a natural progression from the private suites towards the shared living areas, pool and coast below.
A private stairway leads down through the gardens towards Playa Rosa, creating a direct connection between the house, the beach and life on the water. This connection between hillside, garden and sea is central to the way the property is experienced: the Pacific is not simply a view from the house, but part of everyday life here.
Outdoor Living
Outdoor life is central to Casa Torre. The house opens naturally towards the Pacific, with terraces, gardens and shaded palapas creating a series of places to spend the day outside while remaining connected to the main living areas.
The infinity pool occupies one of the property’s most compelling positions, looking across the coastline and the colourful hillside of Careyes. Loungers and shaded areas make it an easy place to settle for an afternoon, while the surrounding terraces provide quieter spaces for reading, conversation or simply taking in the view.
Casa Torre also has several open-air dining areas, each with its own relationship to the house and landscape. Rather than relying on a single formal terrace, guests can move between different settings for breakfast, lunch and dinner, allowing meals and time outdoors to follow the changing conditions throughout the day.
For families and groups travelling together, this variety is particularly valuable. There is generous space to gather, but the house never requires everyone to spend the day in the same place.
Interior & Atmosphere
Casa Torre’s principal living spaces reflect the open-air architecture that defines much of the house. Beneath the generous palapa roof, the main living area is protected from the sun while remaining open to the surrounding climate and gardens, allowing indoor and outdoor life to flow naturally together.
The interiors are individual rather than conventionally styled. White built-in seating and textured natural materials provide a quiet backdrop for sculptural furniture, woven pieces and a distinctive collection of art. Colour appears confidently but selectively, echoing the warm ochre, orange and pink tones found throughout Careyes.
There is also a sense that these rooms have evolved as part of a private home rather than being assembled specifically for guests. The furnishings and art give Casa Torre character, while the generous proportions and open arrangement keep the spaces comfortable when the house is shared by a larger family or group.
The result is an interior that feels closely connected to both the architecture and the place: relaxed enough for everyday living, yet unmistakably Casa Torre.
The Casa Torre Experience
Casa Torre is designed to function as a private home with the support of an experienced household team. A house manager, chef, butler, housekeeping staff, gardener and boat captain take care of the practical side of the stay, allowing guests to spend their time together without having to organise the details of each day.
Life can remain pleasantly flexible. Meals can be prepared at the house, while yoga and massage can be arranged for quieter days. Beyond the property, Careyes offers tennis, horseback riding, polo and the turtle sanctuary, giving families and groups the freedom to shape their stay around different interests rather than follow a fixed programme.
The coast adds another dimension. Casa Torre has a Boston Whaler with a private captain, making it possible to spend time exploring the surrounding waters, with boating and fishing available by arrangement. Returning to the house is equally easy: an afternoon by the pool or a long meal beneath one of the palapas can be just as much a part of the experience.
What makes the arrangement particularly appealing is the balance it creates. There is plenty to do when guests want it, but the house is sufficiently private and well supported that doing very little is equally comfortable.
Gathering Around the Table
Meals are an important part of daily life at Casa Torre, supported by a private chef and a household team that allows dining to remain relaxed rather than organised around a fixed routine. The kitchen can prepare both Mexican and Mediterranean dishes, with menus shaped around the preferences of the guests staying at the house.
Casa Torre has three open-air dining pergolas, giving meals a different setting depending on the time of day and conditions. Breakfast might be taken in one shaded corner of the house, while lunch or dinner can move elsewhere as the light and temperature change. It is a thoughtful part of the original design and particularly well suited to a house intended to be lived largely outdoors.
For families and groups, this flexibility matters. Meals can become the natural point at which everyone comes together, without requiring the formality of a dedicated dining room or restaurant schedule.
Accommodation
Casa Torre accommodates up to ten guests across five private bungalow suites, each positioned to look towards the Pacific. Rather than arranging the bedrooms along a conventional corridor, the suites are distributed across the property, giving guests a greater sense of independence while keeping everyone connected to the shared living areas.
Each suite has a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, air conditioning and a ceiling fan. Private sea-view terraces extend the bedrooms outdoors, creating a personal place to sit away from the main areas of the house.
This arrangement is particularly well suited to families travelling together, several couples or a multigenerational group. Guests can come together around the pool, palapas and dining spaces while still having a genuinely private part of the house to return to.
A media room provides additional flexibility and can accommodate one further guest on a sofa bed, with its own bathroom and shower, when required.
Privacy & Practical Comfort
Casa Torre combines the privacy of an independent home with the support of a fully staffed household. Its five suites are arranged as individual bungalows across the property, allowing guests to retreat to their own space while remaining close to the shared palapas, dining areas and pool.
Daily housekeeping and laundry are provided, while the house manager, chef and butler oversee the day-to-day running of the property. High-speed fibre internet is available throughout the house, and the property sits within the gated Careyes community with 24-hour security.
For guests arriving by air, transfers can be arranged from Manzanillo or Puerto Vallarta. There is parking at the property, and the household team can also assist with local arrangements during the stay.
The hillside setting is worth understanding before booking. Casa Torre is arranged across different levels, with pathways and stairs connecting parts of the property and continuing down towards Playa Rosa. For guests with limited mobility, we would recommend discussing individual requirements before confirming a stay.
Who Casa Torre Is For
Casa Torre is particularly well suited to families and groups of friends who value spending time together without giving up personal space. The five separate bungalow suites give each couple or part of the family a degree of independence, while the pool, palapas and dining areas provide generous shared spaces throughout the property.
It is also a strong choice for guests who enjoy a home with character. Casa Torre is not a conventional resort villa: its architecture is open to the tropical setting, its rooms are distributed across a hillside, and art, colour and natural materials are an integral part of the house.
The fully staffed arrangement makes it especially appealing for longer stays and multigenerational trips. Meals, housekeeping and the practical details of daily life can be taken care of, while different generations are free to spend their days at their own pace.
For guests who appreciate architecture, privacy, time outdoors and a close relationship with the sea, Casa Torre offers a particularly distinctive base in Careyes.
A Rare Position in Careyes
Casa Torre’s appeal is inseparable from its position within Careyes. Set above Playa Rosa, the house looks across a coastline shaped by small bays, tropical hills and the distinctive architecture that has given this part of Mexico its character.
The elevated setting brings privacy and expansive Pacific views, while the private path towards Playa Rosa keeps the sea closely connected to everyday life at the house. Restaurants, beach life and the wider Careyes community are nearby, yet Casa Torre retains the feeling of a private residence within its own gardens.
This combination is what distinguishes the property: a significant piece of Careyes architecture, a fully staffed private home and a setting that allows guests to experience both the privacy of Casa Torre and the life of the destination around it.
