Wedged between the Sierra Madre mountains and the Pacific, this beachfront house delivers the kind of setting where the ocean fills every sightline. The palapa living area – open to the breeze under a thatched roof – makes it easy to lose track of time, and the pool terrace sits close enough to the water that stepping from a swim to the sand takes seconds. Designed by Bosco Sodi with original artworks on site, the interiors have real depth. On-site staff handle cooking, grocery runs, and transport, so the day's biggest decision is whether to catch a wave or stay put.

• While a private chef is included in your stay, you’ll need to pay for the groceries separately.Cost on request
