Book All of Cerrito Encantado
Private property buyouts for retreats, masterminds, and family gatherings. Up to 15 guests.
Some groups need a conference room. Yours needs a hillside.
Cerrito Encantado is a private multi-level property in the hills of Altavista, Nayarit, about 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta airport. When you book a buyout, every casita, bedroom, patio, and the salt-water pool belongs to your group and nobody else. No neighbors on the other side of a wall. No strangers at the pool. Just your people, the birds, and the breeze moving through the banana trees.
Who books the whole hill
Retreat and mastermind hosts
Writing retreats, business intensives, creative workshops, wellness weekends. Two covered open-air spaces host your sessions, and the patio above La Casa Redonda has a view that resets tired brains in about four minutes.
Families and reunions
Two separate casitas plus a bedroom building means grandparents, parents, and cousins each get their own corner, then everyone comes back together at the outdoor kitchen and pool.
Where everyone sleeps
La Casa Redonda
Queen bed, full bathroom, kitchen, and TV. The rooftop patio has the best view on the property.
La Casa Chilam
Queen bed and full-sized sofabed, full bathroom, kitchen, and TV. The only unit with air conditioning.
Los Cuartos
A two-story building with five bedrooms and a full shared bathroom on each floor. Two queen beds and five twin beds across the rooms.
That's four full bathrooms with showers across the property, plus three more outdoor toilets with sinks near the pool and gathering areas. With a full group, nobody waits in line.
Hosts love this layout because it prices cleanly: two private casitas for your VIPs or co-hosts, shared rooms for everyone else.

Made for groups that want to slow down
Cerrito Encantado sits down a steep private entrance. Most guests park on the main road and walk down, about a minute on a rocky path, and we'll happily carry the luggage. The property itself is built on several levels with stairs throughout. The nearest beaches are a 20 to 30 minute drive, so a vehicle is recommended and we can help arrange transport.
If your group wants to walk out the door onto sand, this isn't your venue. If your group wants privacy, quiet, and a place where the schedule slows down on its own, it is. Retreat hosts tell us the distance is the point: everyone stays present instead of scattering.
