The entire Villa sleeps 7-15 people, or you can select from the individual five casas described above which are self-contained with their own cooking facilities and outdoor sitting areas.

Sayulita has become mucho popular for its romantic bay views, rustic-chic surfing vibe and its unique Bohemian lifestyle! As a bi-product, there are many new buildings going up across the whole town. (We have a semi-active site next to us. Our side of town tends to still be quieter than most places in town. )

Stay at one of the most beautiful and iconic Villas in Sayulita. Perched on the hill on the south side of the bay, you can see our majestic blue domes and elegant rounded architecture from anywhere on the Bay!

Town and the beaches are a 15 minute walk on the back dirt and cobblestone roads. We suggest having a flashlight with you walking at night and also suggest renting a golf carts. Our guest services team will gladly connect you with rental services for setting up golf cart rentals which can be delivered to the Villa. Most of our guests find this to be one of the most fun parts of their stay! We can accommodate 4 golf carts in our gated parking area and all spaces have charging outlets.
There are also many taxis for $5-$7 each way to and from town.

Infinite views of the Bay from the infinity pool and inside the Villa. The romantic decks, terraces, and patios await you as well as the calm lull of the ocean waves at night. Happy to answer any of your questions.

I look forward to sharing this unforgettable special place with you. Built with love and attention to detail.

Beautiful Villa

Rented the entire villa and had an amazing stay. Ester, the property manager was responsive and helpful, as were the housekeeping/grounds staff. The views were breathtaking. There are a LOT of stairs and a winding dirt road to get there but that wasn't an issue for our group. Enjoyed every minute of this beautiful place.

Perfecto!

Villa Poema was perfect for my family trip. The villa has 7 spacious rooms across 4 floors and 1 pool which has a direct view to the beach. The private villa was just as described. The kitchens were stocked with everything you need, the bathrooms all came with toiletries including bug spray (which really came in handy). With the stress of planning a huge trip for my family of 14, Ester was a FANTASTIC help. She organized transportation to and from the airport, she organized the golf cart rentals, and was able to navigate through this with multiple airport delays from our family. Ester was extremely responsive to every call or text I sent her way. She went above and beyond to make the stay so relaxing and easy, I can't thank her enough! 10/10 would recommend Villa Poema to anyone looking for a nice stay in Sayulita, but especially for a large group who wants to stay together, without feeling like they're sleeping on top of one another.

Very unique and beautiful place

amazing views and pool ended up being a big hit to cool down and not have to get to a beach. the separate apartments worked out very well for adult children (they absolutely adored the house). very convenient to town if you can go through gate at Hotel Amor- wifi down most of week so kids had to work in town which was disappointing

Beautiful, immaculate property

The photos don't really do the villa justice- it's stunning. Each floor is totally self-contained, but I'm glad our group had the whole place because the pool and outside area would be awkward to share with strangers. It's more a house than a hotel set-up. The cleaners came regularly and the house was spotless- everything you need included. I did try to get info from the property manager a couple times about a chef, but was able to find my own chef in town and set that up. The manager was prompt about fixing plumbing problems, however.

Very cool architecture and amazing views!

We loved our stay at the villa and really enjoyed all the beautiful hang out spots on each floor of the property. The only issue we faced was with the air conditioning on the top floor. It wasn’t working on 2 of the 3 days of the trip, and it made that space almost unusable since it’s the hottest floor of the house. Since it was Sunday the second time it stopped working, the property manager couldn’t have it fixed, so members of our party had to sleep on the futon on the middle level instead of on the top floor.

Friend Reunion for Wedding

Because of the 5 separate casitas, we booked for 10 people and it was perfect. The casita on the 2nd floor was the default hangout area as it was the largest. The roof was also a fun hang. We didn't spend much time at the pool together as we were busy in town but as many reviews say, the pool is small but still plenty big. The views are incredible, especially from the top casita and each room has plenty to make someone feel comfortable. The Zen suite is the least preferred of all the casitas as it's small and tucked back behind the building but it was totally fine and was enjoyable for the guest staying there. I thought the walk to town was closer but taking the golf carts was very fun. GET THE GOLF CARTS. Can't emphasize this enough. Fun and convenient. Was easy to check in and out and everyone was kind (as is the standard in Mexico). Would go back if I was with a big group again in Sayulita :)

Beautiful stay in an incredible location!

We had a wonderful very brief stay at this amazing villa. We wished it could be longer! The location is perfect, ideal if you prefer the smaller Los Muertos beach. It's right out the back gate. The walk to the main beach is easy as well, with the added bonus of a stroll through the serene local cemetery. You are perched atop the bay with expansive views, but it is not necessary to rent a golf cart to get around. Easy access to everything. Our group occupied the entire villa, and we had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. Beach equipment that was available to use which was a plus. Thank you to Ashley and Ben (managers) who arranged transportation for us back to the airport and offered recommendations for sunset drinks. Super helpful!

Enchanting Villa Retreat with family of 9

This was a beautiful villa on a hill overlooking Playa Sayulita. The villa accommodated all of our wants and needs. We had ample space for all and had time together and spaces to be alone when needed. My favourite part of the day was waking up and enjoying coffee while staring out at the ocean from the 3rd floor master suite. The architecture and landscape were amazing. Walks to the beaches were longer than expected and road was in rough shape but we did the walk several times during our stay. We spent a lot of time at a more quiet and secluded beach (closest to the property) and only went to the bigger more crowded Sayulita beach for surfing. On the most part the house manager was responsive. We had an issue the first day when assigned space as we received access to only five of the six bedrooms. This was remedied on the second day when I requested the sixth bedroom as per property description. The pool is salt water, small but met our needs and we all enjoyed and loved it. The scenery from the pool that overlooks the ocean is second to none. If I was to come back to Sayulita, I would most definitely consider staying here again, especially if with a large group.

Amazing Experience

This was my first VRBO experience and my expectations were not very high but this blew us away. We rented the top floor of the property and were lucky enough to be the only ones staying in the house for our 3 night stay. We enjoyed the deck outside our room, the pool, and the pool deck and enjoyed every moment. We had rented a car and got lost getting to the hotel so Nick met us in town and we followed him back to the property and were so excited when we saw our accommodations in person. It was clean, comfortable and has spectacular views as you walk up the stairs, hang out on the deck, lay in bed or are taking a shower. The location of the house was an easy 5 minute walk into town so once you are there you don't need a car if you are just hanging out in Sayulita. We were a little shocked finding out you can't flush toilet paper but that was the only surprise we had (and it was our fault because we didn't read the paperwork Nick and Gabbi sent us ahead of time). Overall, the service we received, accommodations and experience was perfection and would definitely stay here again on a future visit!

Paradise by the sea

Gabbi and Nick took amazing good care of us, from start to finish, arranging catamaran adventures, ziplining, home-cooked meal, transportation, super chilled Modela in the fridge. All we had to do was relax. August weather included thunder, lightning an amazing rainbow over the Pacific and dinner in the dark on the plaza. Villa Poema de Amor is so beautiful -- clean, comfortable and the views are nothing short of breathtaking. The on-site infinity pool has great views overlooking Sayulita, which is a great bonus. We look forward to our next trip!

Best Views ...and then some!

Gabbi and Nick - We LOVE it here. It's perfect for our honeymoon and feeds Michael's love of the ocean while allowing me, a shade dweller, to let the sun have it's way with me :). Thank you for setting us up so nicely. As you predicted, our first evening included a fantastic thunderstorm, and everyday has unfolded to the simple pleasures close by - playa de muerte, and hidden beaches in the rocky cove alongside, a wedding across the way, an evening ritual of locals & music at the graveyard, smoothies at Villa de Amor, sunsets, uncluttered bay (no jet ski's yay!), and immersion into the local culture. Cannot imagine a more precious spot. Muchos Gracias!!!

Great Place

We rented the whole place (three floors) that easily fit two couples and two singles. We were attending a wedding at villa amore, the hotel right beneath the home. It ended up being the best place of all the guests. Highly recommended, very clean, incredible views and great service. I will be staying again.

Magic on the hill above Sayulita!

Our 9 day stay in Casa Rumi, on the top floor of Villa Poema de Amor, completely exceeded our expectations! The building itself is stunning, perched on the top of the hill overlooking the ocean, at the end of Calle Vista Mar. The rooms in Rumi are magical. All round, no square corners, each with high domed ceilings made of brick, beautiful tile work, decorative angels, with exceptional vistas of the ocean, beach and sky. From the private terrace with palapa, there are views of the jungle and nearby casas. Pretty much a 360 degree view of the surroundings. The king size bed is a Sealy Posturepedic, hands down the most comfortable bed we've ever slept on in Mexico, and has really nice linens and pillows. Waking up in it and being able to look right out at a 180 degree view of the ocean and sky was an amazing way to start our day. The kitchenette is very nicely outfitted, with custom made dishes. There is a coffee maker, toaster, blender, micro, small but adequately sized fridge, two burner gas stove, sink and all the utensils you'll need. We were welcomed with a pound of coffee from the nearby hills and a six pack of beer. The modern safe in the closest has electronic key pad to enter your own personal key code. We felt confident leaving our valuables in it. And we felt safe at all times in town and on the property, which is gated & surrounded by a wall topped with scary sharp pointed cutters. Caretakers Francisco and Ines live onsite, which helps with security. The bathroom has the most spectacular view of any bathroom I've ever been in! We needed the air conditioner at night to keep cool enough to sleep, but during the day we had the windows wide open to let the breeze in. The pool downstairs is large enough for 6 or 8 people to cool off in at the same time, but we were lucky enough to have the whole place for the 2 of us for 5 of our 9 days. Down the back steps of the villa, only a 4 minute walk through the graveyard, is Playa de los Muertos, a small, clean beach where it is safe to swim--no big undertow--and a lifeguard on duty at times. The photos are completely accurate, but really don't do justice to the expansive beauty you'll see. The property manager, Nick was extremely helpful during the booking process and met us when we arrived and walked us through, answering all our questions. Having gushed now for all these sentences, I think I'd rather keep this place a secret, because we are already planning our return trip!

Casa Poema de Amor ~ Sayulita's Best

Description comprehensive, accurate. Stunning views. Beautiful, sophisticated, yet simple accommodations. Clean and quiet. Fantastic service. Romantic setting. The ocean is mesmerizing in all its moods. Enjoy long beach walks, eating fresh fish and fruit on the beach, playing in the ocean, shopping, lovely (affordable) candle light dinners with your feet in the sand or an evening in the town square. All just a short walk away. Relaxing and fun for a couple, a 'girl's only' getaway or a family vacation. Although new, Casa Poema is already in demand. Don't wait to go see and experience this lovely property!!

Wonderful Escape

My girlfriend and I stayed at Rumi - I believe we were the first guests. The sound of the ocean in the evening and the breeze with through the large windows, along with a sweeping view of the coast that can't be taken in with one glance made for a great romantic getaway. The suite was above board and we enjoyed having our breakfast cooked for us daily. There are steps that take you to the town and playa los muertos which are both a short walk. We would recommend this place to our closest friends!

About the host

Hosted by Zan Nix

Host profile image
When I am not overlooking the beautiful bay of Sayulita, I live in a small, culturally rich town, Ashland, in Southern Oregon. Home of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival, Ashland offers great theater, a vibrant arts community and lots of good restaurants! I am a realtor and also teach Psychology at Southern Oregon University. I have a passion for poetry and for being on water which are the two inspirations for my designing and building Villa Poema de Amor, Villa Love Poem.

Why they chose this property

What Makes this Villa Unique?
Designed by architect, Miquel Valverdez and built by Arturo Fernandez, Villa Poema de Amor is like no other villa in Sayulita. Perched on the south tip of the bay it has exquisite views of the jungle, ocean and Sayulita Bay, beach and town. From the villa you can see all the way to San Poncho. The views are stunning. The architecture too, is unique. Inspired by my travels to Greece, the blue cupolas can be seen from most anywhere in Sayulita, right above Villa Amor. All the rooms are furnished with custom built and carved furniture and many pieces are curved like the soft rounded walls. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed and artfully made by local artisans, including hand painted sinks, hand carved furniture and mirrors, playful accents in the ceramic floors, unique and custom wrought iron railings and accents and carefully chosen art. The rounded brick cupolas in every room of the top floor, Casa Rumi, are architecturally stunning. This romantic villa was lovingly crafted with attention paid to every detail.

In designing Villa Poema I wanted to reflect the romance of this exquisite location overlooking the sea, naming it Villa Poema de Amor after my two passions…love and poetry. I named each of the individual casas after poets: First floor, Casa Hafiz (Persian poet Hafiz) & Casa Lorca (Spanish poet Fredrico Garcia Lorca); second floor, Casa Neruda (Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda); and third floor, Casa Rumi (world’s most revered love poet, Persian poet, Rumi). Casa Zen, tucked below, is named after the poet that created the Villa.

I look forward to sharing this very special place with you and hope you will enjoy your memories long after.


What makes this property unique

Why Sayulita
I first came to Sayulita in 2003 and fell in love with what was, at the time, a sleepy little fishing and surfing village! While Sayulita has become far more popular and discovered since then, it has always kept me in awe of its natural beauty. I still enjoy walking on the beach and all the wonderful options for yoga in town. For a small town Sayulita also has a lot going on, many activities to enjoy and nearby places to explore.
