Villa Lumina, Puerto Escondido- Private Oceanfront Villa with Pool

Luminar is in a remote gated community which is stunning. Lots of spectacular homes. The beach front access and pool were worth it alone and the open air home is definitely a unique experience. We loved all of that. The house is a bit dated and not quite like the photos. We wanted to hire the private chef but ended up cooking for ourselves - communications a bit confusing. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and tidy but kitchen wasn’t terribly clean. We limited our use of things to a few items we washed ourselves. All in all though we enjoyed our 2 days.

The photos do not do the villa justice - it is absolutely gorgeous. Lupe was amazing help for day-to-day needs, and Catherine was very patient and helpful with some booking platform issues we were facing.All in all, incredible stay!

Lupe and the cook Juana were wonderful. The meals she prepared were delicious. The pool looking out on the beach was such a fun addition. Great spot for sunrise walks. One day in fact we saw a few guys training horses on the beach right after sunrise. There were a few dolphin off shore. Our group really enjoyed our stay

Our group of 11 adults and 4 young children had an incredible stay at Villa Lumina. The sunsets, sunrises, and stargazing were spectacular. The house was simple, clean, and had a range of comfortable seating. Lupe, the house care taker was wonderful. He did many grocery and snack runs for us, making the time extra relaxing. The home, rooms, and pool were cleaned daily. We hired a cook for our stay and the meals were fresh and tasty. Drinking water was provided. The beach is stunning and a very serene, private place to walk.

The place is beautiful with sunrise and sunset walks on the pristine beaches. The infinity pool is delightful. Meals sitting at the incredible wood table. We had an unfortunate language misunderstanding with Lupe, the property manager which caused great distress for him and for me, it led to some hurtful accusations from the owner. Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, things were much better. Lupe helped us to arrange two different activities. The bioluminescent boat ride was good and we would have had difficulty planning it without Lupe help. The boat ride out of Plays Angelito that he arranged for us was about $2000 pesos more than if we had arranged it ourselves which would have free been very easy to arrange at the beach. The house its beautiful and the beach is empty and tranquil. The down side of this is that if you don’t have a car, it is going to cost about $1000 pesos each way to go into town.

We visited puerto 5 years ago and knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our 10 year anniversary with our family. The place was beautiful and clean with views of the pacific and beautiful sunsets. The staff and all the meals were great. Lupe and Juanita really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and Catherine was easy to communicate with. Would love to come back in the future!

Beautiful property. Our family loved the beach and pool. Rayna, the chef, was wonderful. Our only hiccup was some communication regarding transportation from the airport to the property. After that, it was all good!

Property is wonderful. Located about 10 miles from town. Recommend paying for the chef and grocery buyer. Will need transportation to get to from town. Lots of mosquitos, so keep doors and windows closed.

The house, location, and staff exceeded all our expectations. Comfortable and chic, we were not at a loss for anything. It is simply a paradise. I highly recommend hiring Jaunita the cook who is a lovely person and makes the best food ! The owner Cath was lovely to deal with, very attentive and happy to assist and answer questions. I couldn't and neither could any of our group be any happier with the place and our stay. Just fabulous.

The large open common area was perfect for our group of 10 friends. Beautiful open space to gather. The Pool was always clean and inviting. The beach was empty with great sunrises and sunsets. The waves were big enough to be fun but not so big to be intimidating. The stars at night were gorgeous! We hired the cook which was great. Everything she made was delicious and her smile and laugh were filled with sunshine. The place is about a half hour drive outside of Puerto Escondido so bring what you want it with you or go ahead and hire them to do the cooking and shopping. Will cry Will certainly stay here again for a family or friend retreat!

We are a group of people with very different taste, but we all enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean! Being so close to the beach was amazing ! Drinking coffee in the mornings was the best part of my stay. The house is very spacious and clean it was great to be so close to nature! The services was excellent, Food was tasty and fresh it made our stay very pleasant. Very easy to communicate with the property owner Can't wat to go back !!!
