Las Alamandas...a small luxury hotel with thirteen guest rooms on 1500 beautiful acres...

Las Alamandas

Developed by Isabel Goldsmith, Las Alamandas, is a small luxury hotel situated on 70 acres within a 1,500-acre private paradise of exotic trees, palms, flowers, wild birds and lagoons. Born in Paris, Ms. Goldsmith is the daughter of British financier Sir James Goldsmith and granddaughter of "Bolivian Tin King" Don Antenor Patiño .

Located on the main (mile-long, private) beach, Casa del Domo takes its name from the large pink dome atop the villa. Detailed throughout in shocking pink, Casa del Domo contains two large bedrooms, each with atrium-bath, private shaded terrace and entrance, living/dinning area, fully-equipped kitchen and honor bar .

Each room is decorated in the jewel-like colors chosen by owner/developer Ms. Goldsmith. Furnishings are a pleasing mix of designs, fabrics, and arts & crafts selected from all over Mexico.

The main living area of Casa del Sol opens onto a large shaded terrace furnished as an outdoor sitting room with private dining area in which to enjoy meals al fresco. It also features a fully-equipped kitchen and honor bar.

Rattan sofas, upholstered in canary yellow or shocking pink, hold brightly-colored embroidered cushions on which to take a siesta. Mexican folk-art and hand-painted artifacts enliven each room. Pictured above is the terrace of the Presidential Suite.

Enjoy al fresco dining on the terrace of Casa del Domo.

Accommodations include large, hand-painted, Mexican tile baths featuring oversized tub and shower, bidet, double sinks and large open shelving, as well as private terrace and full-sized living /dining area. Kitchens are found only in the Casa del Sol Presidential Suite and in the Casa del Domo Master Suite. All Suites have a mini bar.

Upon request, the Oasis Restaurant will prepare an elaborate dinner buffet, complete with mariachis and bonfires, to serve you on the beach.

Evenings, the terrace is candlelit, the surrounding gardens illuminated. The menu includes many Mexican specialities from which to choose, as well as a selection of continental dishes. All ingredients are fresh: fish and seafood are brought in daily from local fishermen; eggs and chicken are free-range; pastries are prepared daily by the chef; and many of the fruits and vegetables are grown organically on the property.

An oversized, thatched palapa, situated by the beach, is adjacent to the fresh-water swimming pool and serves as a welcome retreat from the sun. Guests relax in its shade after tanning on one of many sun beds or sway gently to Pacific breezes in a palapa-shaded hammock. La Palapa also serves as a beach bar and ideal place to enjoy lunch in your bathing suit.

The beautiful fresh-water swimming pool, equipped with massage jets, is located right next to the ocean and Palapa Beach Club.
