Costa Alegre Villas

This spectacularly secluded resort lies in an estate covering 25,000 acres and includes the ecologically important Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve.  Cuixmala was once the private hideaway of Sir James Goldsmith, and is still owned and managed by the Goldsmith family.  Four fabulous fully-staffed villas are here, including La Loma, Goldsmith's former residence.   The villas each have their own stunning swimming pool and feature huge verandas, lavish indoor and outdoor living spaces and breathtaking views.  There are several beaches on the estate, horseback riding can be arranged at the well equipped stables, and there's even a soccer pitch on site.
