For an ultra-boutique stay, book into Casa De Mita, perched in a residential area on Playa Careyeros. A stay here is akin to being a VIP guest in a luxe mansion house. A pool with cushioned loungers and a swim-up bar looks onto the beach, while inside, there are two shared lounges providing a book exchange and coffee machine and seven individually designed rooms with traditional furnishings, local craft pieces and artworks. Staff are on hand to see to anything you need, from generously stocked mini bars, to free paddle board hire. Meals take on a quirky element, in that the location isn’t fixed – dining furniture is moved to ensure the dinner view isn’t the same night after night.
