The Best Airbnbs And Vacation Rentals In Sayulita Mexico

Surfers have flocked to Sayulita since the 1960s, looking for perfect longboarding waves and warm Mexican water. While it is not the sleepy two-car town it once was, Sayulita still retains a laid-back charm. Go dolphin spotting, shop for indigenous Huichol artwork and chow down on spicy tacos, while staying at these top vacation rentals. Book today with Culture Trip.

1. Casa Makawe

Apartment

A rooftop pool and al fresco eating area with sweeping Sierra Madre sunset views; bright, modern rooms in whitewash; the beach less than a five-minute stroll away… There’s a lot to like about the adults-only Casa Makawe. Upgrade to the larger apartment with its swaying hammocks and wraparound breakfast balcony overlooking the mountain. Just two units make up this casa, connected by an internal door, so consider renting the whole property.

2. North Side Studios Sayulita

Apartment

These simple but stylish suites – decked out with contemporary polished concrete and Mexican textiles – sit in the center of the Sayulita village. The cheaper rooms are small, so consider booking the larger studio suites with separate lounge areas. Downstairs, you’ll find the busy Mercado del Pueblo, great for breakfast snacks and fruit. Stroll five minutes and you’ll find yourself in the main plaza, whilst another five minutes takes you to the beach.

3. Hotel Villas Sayulita

Hotel

These villas are very Sayulita with beach chic rooms in raw woods, earthy terracottas and soft ochres, set in leafy gardens around a shady ultramarine pool and yoga palapa. Start your day with a sunrise surf – the beach is just a block away – followed by a complimentary breakfast back at the villa (don’t miss the homemade smoothies). Come during mango season and you can pick fresh fruit off the garden trees.

5. Casa Dos Chicos

Apartment

When you’re bringing the whole family along, check out this eight-person, four-bed designer vacation home with 360-degree views and a jacuzzi hot tub on the roof. The open design allows for incredible rooftop views of the beach and the surrounding area.

6. Casa Luna Llena

Apartment

The Casa Luna Llena has three bedrooms and three baths, with king-size mattresses and a view of the ocean from every room. The house is newly constructed and its white-washed walls will have you feeling like you are in the Greek Isles.
