The Blue House is one of several dwellings that make up Verana, a handmade boutique hotel in the Mexican jungle that takes guests off the beaten track in a completely immersive experience. Although it is part of the larger hotel, the house is located a 5-10 minute walk from the main site, by the pier. It is available for rental on its own, for a minimum stay of one week.

The beauty of this house is its location, between the lush jungle and the water's edge. Guests can enjoy the unique experience of snorkelling in the waters right outside their front door, or watch the ocean and colorful marine life from their windows. The house is situated on the first floor of a standalone building, with amazing views from each room. Depending on the time of year, you might even see a whale swim by.

Another great feature is the house's private (and very picturesque) plunge pool, which is perfect for unwinding. This is a cool, separate space to relax and rejuvenate in. Guests can take advantage of all the amenities at Verana, or enjoy unadulterated privacy.

The Blue House accommodates up to four people in two bedrooms. Please note the house cannot be used for parties or unregistered guests (without prior permission). A kitchenette contains a small fridge which can be stocked prior to your arrival, as well as a coffeemaker and tea.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Housekeeping and laundry service are available for an additional charge. Hotel amenities, spa and massage services can also be requested for an additional charge. Wifi throughout.

AROUND

It’s all about adventure as well as relaxation here. An hour or so south of Puerto Vallarta, the small fishing village of Yelapa is a remote outpost along the crescent shaped Bay of Banderas. Surrounded by picturesque wild habitat, the town is accessible only by boat so has thankfully escaped much of the mass tourism of other coastal towns (so far).

A 15-minute walk from the house, the village has a few little restaurants, bars and shops where you can buy groceries and most things you'll need. There is also a long beach for swimming or kayaking. Please note: there is no ATM.
