An 8,000 square foot oceanfront luxury villa, Casa San Sebastian was inspired by the Mexican Pacific Coast architectural style that originated in nearby Careyes and has been made famous by renowned Mexican architects. This new palapa style emphasizes a sensual blending of local colors, textures, and materials in a manner that renders the Casa an integral part of its environmental surroundings.
Life at Casa San Sebastian is nature. Ocean waves spill over massive boulders beneath one´s feet, brightly colored parrots and parakeets serenade from the mountainside jungle that is the front door, and (to adopt the romantic phrasing of a travel writer) a soothing tropical sun warms a visitor´s body while soft Pacific breezes gently caress one´s soul.
For those who prefer simpler pleasures, the tiny seaside fishing village of Mismaloya with its incredible world class beaches is just a “pebble´s toss” away. As if there could be any reason to leave Casa San Sebastian.
Inside Casa San Sebastian two half-century old higuera (fig) trees form an integral partnership with this split-level residence, their gnarled trunks jutting upward through white marble floors and specifically-wrought ten-foot ceilings. The higuera´s massive umbrella-like limbs structures dominate the angular palapa peak and stand guard over the villa, combining simple shade from the tropical sun with a sense of centuries-old permanence.
Vivid Mexican floral colors, pinks, blues and yellows, have been strategically used to highlight and create interior drama. Such accent colors are favored in this new architectural style because of their affinity with the surrounding environment and because the colors offer a whimsical contrast with the white walls and blue-sky open-aired feel of the palapa.
The architect Alberto Alvarez, a local award winning University of Guadalajara graduate, adopted the Pacific Coast style with grace and ease, and added his own particular creative touch resulting in a dramatic and spectacular residence. Comfort and luxury were always on our minds. The villa provides a happy, relaxed, leisurely setting, a place to recharge, to revitalize.
Longtime local interior designer-sculptor Jorge Rubio was selected to combine his talents with those of Alvarez. Rubio contributed an openness to the villa in keeping with the “new palapa” style and completed the striking interior touches as the inclusion of naturally occurring boulders and trees in the structure. The interior furnishings of the home are a blend of Mexican traditional and modern, again in keeping with the Mexican Pacific Coast style. The award-winning Marta Figueroa, probably Mexico´s best known “equipales” (leather and wood furniture) designer, fashioned all of the interior furnishings and Mexican artesan Esperanza Acosta, who is internationally recognized for her woodwork, hand carved the villa´s six massive doors.

Puerto Vallarta
Set on the shoreline of the second largest bay in the Americas with the green foothills of the majestic Sierra Madre at its back, this is the romantic city on the Mexican Riviera–the traditional Mexican village–the city of grand hotels and cobblestone streets. If ever there was a town full of beautiful contrasts, that town is Puerto Vallarta. |
