Every suite faces the Pacific and opens onto its own terrace, and Suite 4 adds a plunge pool of its own. The main infinity pool runs along the ocean side, a second plunge pool sits apart from it, and a fire pit anchors the outdoor lounge. The included team covers a cook, a bartender, daily housekeeping and an overnight watchman, with breakfast and dinner prepared on site and lunch on request. Zicatela is a ten-minute walk downhill, though the climb back up is steep. Town is five minutes by car, the airport ten, and Playa Carrizalillo eight. Massage, yoga, horseback riding, surf lessons and airport transfers can be arranged at extra cost. The minimum stay is five nights, and seven over Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving and Semana Santa.","displayPrice":"From $1,555 USD per night","priceCurrency":"USD","minStayNights":5,"amenities":["Oceanfront infinity pool","Two plunge pools","Daily housekeeping","Wi‑Fi","Daily cook","Daily bartender","Overnight watchman","Toiletries","In‑villa massage/yoga/horseback/surf (extra)","Private airport transfers (extra)"],"content":{"summary":"Five-suite oceanfront villa above Zicatela Beach in Puerto Escondido, sleeping twelve.
