Inside the house
From the entrance gate to the edge of the pool.
This is how Casa Marvela unfolds: arriving at the community, the three-bedroom ground floor, the penthouse the private elevator rises to, and the amenities that surround it.
The arrival
The entrance arch and the walkways to the sea
Playa de La Paz opens with an arch and a stone wall at kilometre 6.5 of the Escénica to Pichilingue. Inside, a gated community with twenty-four-hour security, gardens of bougainvillea and cobbled walkways that descend to the sand. Casa Marvela is unit 101, the one facing the beach, with a private garage for two cars.




Ground floor
Three bedrooms, an island kitchen and a formal dining room
The ground floor resolves the whole house without a single staircase: three bedrooms on one level and a private garage for two cars. It is booked on its own (standard of six guests, maximum of eight, with two additional folding beds) or it joins the full villa.
The living areas are on this side: a kitchen with an island and breakfast bar, with a built-in oven tower and wine fridge; a formal dining room; a living room open to the sea. Outside, terraces under pergolas and an outdoor dining table, among clay pots and arches that frame the water.




First floor
The penthouse and the private elevator
Above is the penthouse: one bedroom on the first floor, with its own garage for two cars, a standard of two guests and a maximum of four. It is booked on its own for those travelling as a couple.
A private elevator runs between the two levels, and it is what sets this house apart. With it, the ground floor and the penthouse stop being two addresses and become the four-bedroom villa: standard of eight guests, maximum of twelve, with two additional folding beds.




The grounds
Infinity pool, beach club and El Caimancito
The infinity pool falls towards the sea between palm trees, with loungers, umbrellas and a solarium along its edge, and a fire pit for when the sun goes down. The beach club and the bar are on the same side, and from there you step straight out to El Caimancito, the community beach, on the still water of the Sea of Cortez.
The rest is a few minutes on foot: an equipped gym facing the windows, a tennis court and kayaks that launch from that same sand.




The grounds from the air
The white volumes of Playa de La Paz arranged around the infinity pool, the tennis court behind them and El Caimancito opening onto the Sea of Cortez.
Eight in comfort. Twelve when the trip calls for it.
The full villa is set for eight guests across its four bedrooms, spread over the two levels the elevator joins. To reach twelve, the house adds two folding beds. Booked on its own, the ground floor goes from six to eight with those same two beds, and the penthouse from two to four. From the ninth guest onward in the villa, $1,500 MXN per person per night is added, always itemised before payment.
