Beachfront, AC, Pool, Surf Rio Nexpa, Caleta de Campos, Turtle & Whale Watching

Was once Olavaquero, remodel completed October 2022.

Castillo de Arena is a surfers paradise, a romantic getaway, or a place to gather family & friends. Who knew paradise really did have it all?

Guests will arrive at a gated driveway off the Coastal HWY 200, then proceed through the mango orchard, which opens up to the private beachfront oasis, “Castillo de Arena”, the Sand Castle.

With 4 air conditioned King Suites, one being ADA compliant, private beachfront pool, fully equiped chefs kitchen, 2 large lounging areas, & expansive views out every window.

The perfect place for your next getaway, retreat, surf trip, or family celebration.

Featuring a “chefs kitchen” with 3 sinks, ample countertop space, full size fridge, fully stocked utensils & plates. Hire a private chef or enjoy the space to cook your own cuisine. Outdoor bbq & fire pit area, soft sand & shady palapa with hammocks waiting to rock you to sleep. Splash in the private beachfront pool, then head up to the 3rd floor viewing tower for sunrise/sunsets, watching the whales, & taking in the breathtaking views.


Walk the beach to Barra de Nexpa (10-15min) for basic necessities & quaint beach front restaurants. At the Nexpa rivermouth you can splash and enjoy the warm water, a great spot to hangout & watch surfers ride the world class waves of Rio Nexpa. Afterwards, take some shade & sip a fresh fruit smoothie or a Modelo under a palapa restaraunt operated by one of the local families. Nexpa has surfers & travelers from around the world come to stay and enjoy the waves. Or head in the opposite direction, towards the cliff and explore the private beach, where you will find driftwood sculptures & treasures.

Drive to the thriving seaside town of Caleta de Campos (6km) for an array of groceries, restaurants, shopping, & the amazing swimming bay of Bahia Bufadora. Fresh seafood, delicious drinks & inviting waters surrounded by beautiful cliffsides. The town is family friendly, with a beautiful plaza & a rich local culture.
