Costa Careyes, Mexico - Las Alamandas Resort, on the Costalegre Pacific coast between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo, has become a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World’s collection of 520 independent properties in more than 70 countries.

Set in beautiful tropical gardens on a 1500-acre nature reserve, Las Alamandas is all about privacy, seclusion and total relaxation. A magical hideaway with just 16 suites in seven characteristically brightly painted casitas, this is the perfect place to get away from it all.

Offering the epitome of privacy and luxurious escape, Las Alamandas is a tropical oasis with a vast stretch of white sand beach, fresh-water lagoons, coves and rocky islands to discover. Guests also enjoy two restaurants and bars, a wealth of spa treatments, a large pool to relax beside, and a private airstrip for guests who arrive by private plane.

Between the excellent resort facilities and the diverse natural environment, there is an exceptional range of activities and outdoor experiences available to guests. Get back to nature and go horseback riding, or on a bike ride, through the reserve followed by a picnic lunch on the beach. From August to November, you can witness the hatched turtles release into the sea, as part of the resort's turtle preservation program.
