La Punta Estates · Punta Mita

Check Availability
01 / 07 The Pool Deck

Teak loungers, facing the water.

Shaded by sail umbrellas, they catch the light at its softest — towels already rolled and waiting.

02 / 07 The Pool

A pool that follows the light.

Its curved infinity edge traces the garden-lined deck, water still enough to hold the palms in reflection.

03 / 07 The Reflecting Pool

Still water, straight to the bay.

Its negative edge runs from the garden to the bay, framed by trees, with open water views the whole way.

04 / 07 The Gym

A full gym, with the jungle watching.

Complete equipment, glass on every side, and a door that opens straight onto the garden when you're done.

05 / 07 The Living Room

Low light, deep cushions, garden close by.

The sectional seats the whole group as glass doors stand open to the garden. Dinner is one glance away.

06 / 07 The Suite

Shutters open to a private terrace.

Louvered doors fold back as twilight settles in outside — the bed simply faces it.

07 / 07 The Palapa

A thatched roof, jungle all around.

Hand-joined beams rise to a woven canopy, open on every side. The table seats twelve, and long dinners here rarely want to end.

The Architectural Manifesto

An intentional balance of grand scale and intimate design

Set across 1.7 acres of oceanfront sanctuary within La Punta Estates, Punta Mita's most private gated enclave, Casa Balena balances grand architectural scale with intimate, sensory design. Refined interior volumes by Bernardi + Peschard open seamlessly to terraces, shaded lounges, landscaped gardens, and gathering areas that let daily life move naturally between indoors and out.

At the heart of the estate lies its defining feature: a 37-meter whale-shaped infinity pool, integrated directly into the architecture. More than a design statement, it becomes the emotional center of the home, hosting sunrise swims, unhurried afternoons, and sunset evenings overlooking the Pacific.

In Their Words

Reviews From the Sanctuary

Every stay leaves its own account of the light, the water, and the quiet. A few reflections from families who have called Casa Balena home for a week at a time.

Vrbo Premier Host Airbnb Superhost

From the moment we arrived, it felt like the house had been waiting for us. Our mornings began with coffee on the terrace and ended with the whole family together in the pool at sunset, the kind of stay you measure in memories, not nights.

The Alden FamilyMultigenerational Reunion · Winter
Vrbo Premier Host

Six en-suite bedrooms meant everyone had their own quiet corner, yet the whale pool kept pulling us back together every evening. Casa Balena is the rare villa built for a big group that still feels intimate.

A Family of FourteenMilestone Birthday Celebration

Our house manager anticipated things we hadn't even asked for: dietary notes remembered from day one, a chilled bottle waiting after every surf session. This is what full-service hospitality should mean.

We came for the architecture and stayed for the light. Watching the sun move across that pool from dawn to blue hour, from the master terrace, is worth the trip on its own.
