Casa Colina, One Of Mexico's Most Beautiful Private Villas, Is Offering Incredible Savings This Fall


Through December 1, 2011, Guests Can Enjoy Six Nights of Five-Star Pampering at
the Exclusive Casa Colina and Get the Seventh Night Free, as Well as
Nearly 50 Percent Off Regular Room Rates


If this majestic area’s world-famous beaches and idyllic setting near the Pacific Ocean, mountains, and a 5-million-year-old towering volcano aren’t enough reason to visit, add in a five-star villa secluded among cascading hills and you can see why families, girlfriend getaways, weddings, and couples consider Isla Navidad and the ultra-lux Casa Colina villa their preferred vacation destination. Travelers rave about the area’s natural beauty with its sandy beaches, tree-filled mountains, and the most active volcano in Mexico, Colima. Isla Navidad is also home to one of Mexico’s most popular villas, Casa Colina, an uber-lux house that overlooks the blue-toned ocean waters below and has its own private entrance, staff, chef, infinity-edge pool, six elegantly-decorated guestrooms, and more.

In honor of summer and the approaching fall season, Casa Colina is offering some amazing deals for guests. Now through December 1, 2011, guests who stay at Casa Colina six nights get the seventh night free. This is addition to also offering guests some of the lowest summer seasonal rates of any private villa in Mexico – nearly 50 percent off its regular rates. Low season rates, which run through the end of September 2011, begin at $2,900 compared to Casa Colina’s high season rates of $4,900. But the savings don’t end there. The six-bedroom Casa Colina is also offering a 5% discount per bedroom not used during a guest’s stay. For example, if a guest had four people in their party and required only two rooms, they would get a 20 % discount for not using the four other bedrooms. Rates include airport pickup and drop off, private chef and staff, and laundry services. Rates exclude food, beverages, and phone charges.

Picture your days spent lounging by an infinity edge pool with plush lounge chairs and umbrellas and views of the Pacific Ocean below or the mountains in the distance, having your own private staff prepare you lunch poolside, and then enjoying a massage in the privacy of your guestroom. Or wake up and start your day with a workout in Casa Colina’s private gym with state-of-the-art machines, chilled towels and water, and fold-back windows with views of the ocean and mountains and then enjoy breakfast by the pool and spend the afternoon at one of the area’s quaint beaches in Barra de Navidad, including the famous Playa La Audiencia on Santiago Peninsula where Bo Derek’s movie 10 was filmed. For the more adventurous traveler, spend the afternoon exploring the 5 million-year-old Colima volcano, which is the most active volcano in Mexico, or go horseback riding on the beach. Kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving in the Pacific Ocean can also be arranged.

After a long day of sightseeing, return to your private villa and relax with a cocktail by the pool or a chilled glass of champagne and watch the sun set over the lush countryside and jewel-toned seawaters. That evening, Casa Colina’s private staff can set up an outdoor gourmet BBQ on the pool deck and decorate the pool with floating candles for a festive or romantic ambience, or they can set up an elegant, candlelit dinner, personally prepared by the villa’s private chef, in the chic indoor/outdoor Top of the World Palapa with a custom-built Estrella chandelier, fully-stocked bar, and panoramic views of the mountains and ocean or in the Lagoon View Lounge with a hand-laid brick cathedral ceiling and Balinese furnishings. Finish up the evening watching a movie on Colina’s surround-sound home theatre with a 65” Panasonic plasma TV, satellite receiver, and DVD player or toasting a cocktail on the outdoor terrace.
