About this property

The coziest of all our casas is Casita ZEN, a small studio with double bed, kitchenette, bathroom with shower and a private outdoor patio with partial views of the Bay. Local artwork and everything you need.. Tucked below the Villa, Casita ZEN has it’s own separate entrance. Easy access to infinity pool.

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 an inactive site next to us that has been inactive for over a year and no signs of being finished so our Villa is quieter than most places in town. )

The same gorgeous peaceful views from our salt water infinity pool and deck await you as well as the calm lull of the ocean waves at night. Happy to answer any of your questions.

Town and the beaches are a 15 minute walk on the back dirt and cobblestone roads. We suggest you bring a flashlight if you are walking at night and also suggest renting a golf cart which our guest services team will gladly help you with setting up golf cart and have delivered to the Villa. Many of our guests find this to be a very fun part of their stay! We can accommodate 4 golf carts in our gated parking area.
Taxis are also available for about $5-$7 each way into town.

This is a fabulous opportunity to 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!

We could not take a shower till 1030. The next day couldn't get towels from the onsite host. I rented a golf cart. But couldn't get an answer which one was mine till 4 hours after being there. So we ended up walking into town. To buy water and get some dinner. There was only one stool to sit on with barely 2 square feet to read or set your wallet or purse down The bed was so uncomfortable we couldn't even sleep. There was a big construction site thirty feet from where we were tryiny sleeping They work from 6 in the morning to like 10 at night, cutting tiles cutting Metal And with the music playing all morning and all night. We only stayed one night out of the 14 nights because it was so uncomfortable. The entire room is guessing 250 sqft I honestly hate to complain. It was the worst place. I've ever stayed the pictures. Make it look really nice. But it's a lot different than what it looks like. The property host was very understanding and very apologetic. And did end up giving us $500 back. It was also very musty and stinky inside. I would definitely not stay there. We were very lucky to be able to To find a different spot to stay at. We ended up having to move a couple times during the next 13 days. But that was OK, and we ended up spending probably. Another $8000.

Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2024

About the host

Hosted by Zan Nix

After falling in love with Sayulita I bought the property overlooking the Sayulita Bay, later built this beautiful Villa, Villa Poema de Amor, Villa Love Poem.
So much creativity and love went into designing & building this unusual home with it's Mediterranean blue domes and rounded architecture which is filled with local Mexican artistry and hand carved furniture.

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 beautiful views of the jungle, Sayulita Bay, beach and town. 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: Tucked below the Villa, Casita Zen, is the small casita named after the poet that built this Villa. 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).

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.
