Complementing the enticing visual tableau is a full-time staff of 12, gourmet Continental/Mexican cuisine prepared by an in-house chef, a gym, massage room, entertainment and business centers, chauffeured transportation to and from the airport and custom bath products. Add to that the use of the Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course and tennis and spa facilities at the nearby Four Seasons resort, and it is no wonder this seaside sanctuary has been booked since the owners began renting it last fall. (Rates range from $13,000 to $20,000 per night, with a five- to seven-night minimum stay, depending on the season.)

Within Punta Mita, you can also indulge in activities ranging from surfing, kayaking and scuba diving to excursions that will take you to Spanish Colonial haciendas, the remote mountain villages of the native Huichol or swimming with dolphins.

"Palmasola is like a small luxury resort, where everything is taken care of for you," says the husband. "Our guests love the unique blend of privacy and community here." With the addition of two new managers from Sir Richard Branson’s ultra-exclusive Necker Is-land in the Caribbean, Palmasola will undoubtedly continue to enjoy the spotlight in the ever-developing cinematic paradise of Punta Mita.
