Gran Palapa Ocean Front Beach with Privacy Nature
Palapa Ganesh: Where art, nature, and luxury meet. Nestled on a secluded beachfront cliffside, this open-concept masterpiece offers barefoot luxury for 8 guests. Located between Sayulita's town (5km) and Punta Mita (20 min), it’s a sanctuary of peace. As an eco-integrated home, you’ll live among nature’s elements and might be visited by local wildlife (raccons, coatis, birds). Ideal for discerning travelers seeking a high-end, authentic jungle experience. Unplug and reconnect. OPalapa Ganesh, our main palapa, is an exceptional retreat for up to 8 guests. It is strategically located on a beachfront cliff just south of Sayulita, in the beautiful and secluded area of Patzcuarito. This unique home embraces an open-air living concept under a majestic palapa roof, with exquisite hardwood floors and details that blend seamlessly with the surroundings. Its atmosphere radiates deep tranquility, inviting you to be one with nature at every moment. Additionally, you enjoy the convenience of being just 10 minutes from the town of Sayulita and 20 minutes from the Punta Mita golf courses. You will enjoy direct access to a private beach, easily reached through charming gardens that wind down to the water's edge. Here, the soothing sound of the waves will accompany you as you soak in the natural ocean pool surrounded by rocks. Inside the main house, a spacious dining room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a generous living room await you, all designed to enhance that uninterrupted connection with the natural environment. Palapa Ganesh is an open-concept sanctuary integrated with the jungle. By choosing us, you immerse yourself in an authentic nature experience where you can share the environment with local wildlife (such as birds and coatis). The access road is a jungle path currently maintained by a private neighbors' fund, making it accessible for any car; however, for your maximum comfort during your travels, we recommend a SUV or truck. Guests have full, exclusive access to the main palapa and its private pool. Your stay includes the use of the natural paths within our gated property that lead directly to the beach. Due to the surrounding cliffs and large rock formations, this beach area is highly secluded and offers exceptional privacy. Please note that according to Mexican law, the shoreline is a natural public zone, though the rugged terrain makes it very difficult for outsiders to access, ensuring a peaceful and private atmosphere. We are available to you as much as you need. We prefer to give our guests total privacy, but we are always just a message away through the platform or by phone for local recommendations, questions about the house, or any assistance you may need to ensure a perfect stay. Patzcuarito: Your Private Jungle Oasis A truly unique and enchanting neighborhood that offers an unparalleled jungle experience. This is one of the best-preserved jungle communities in the entire Bahía de Banderas area, where nature isn't just a backdrop—it's an integral part of daily life. Imagine waking up to the sounds of tropical birds and the gentle rustling of leaves. Here, you'll find a serene and private escape perfect for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility away from the crowds. Yet, you are never far from the action. Patzcuarito offers the perfect balance, placing you just a short drive from all the vibrant attractions, pristine beaches, and world-class dining that the Bahía de Banderas has to offer. This is more than just a place to stay; it's an opportunity to immerse yourself in an authentic, natural paradise without sacrificing convenience. Discover your perfect vacation home in Patzcuarito, where the jungle meets the sea. Taxi, Rental car, own car, or walk to Sayulita: 30 minutes- beautiful road through the Jungle Nature Experience & Open-Concept Design: Palapa Ganesh is an eco-integrated architectural masterpiece with an open-concept design. This means the house is not a hermetically sealed structure like an urban hotel room. By choosing to stay with us, you agree to a full jungle immersion experience, which includes: Local Wildlife: It is normal and expected to see coatis, raccoons, exotic birds, and seasonal insects. These are part of the ecosystem, and their presence is not grounds for complaints or refunds. Climate: The sea breeze and sounds of nature are constant, but so are the humidity and natural dust inherent to a jungle environment. Connectivity and Utilities: We provide the best possible internet system for our remote location: two Starlink (satellite) services and one local service. However, due to our geographic location and weather conditions, service may experience temporary interruptions beyond our control. We cannot guarantee an infallible connection for critical work, and no refunds will be granted for internet or power outages caused by external factors. Maintenance and Reporting Policy: We strive to keep the property in perfect condition. If upon arrival you find anything that does not meet your expectations regarding cleanliness or functionality, it is mandatory to report it within the first 4 hours of your stay so our team can resolve it immediately. No claims or refund requests will be processed after the stay has ended or if we were not given the opportunity to fix the issue at the time of occurrence. Access: The access road is a dirt path through the jungle. While neighbors maintain the road and it is accessible for any car, we recommend an SUV for your maximum comfort.

Open air
Amazing view and completely open palapa with a wall on the back side only. Fully functional kitchen which we used a lot - it’s a 10 minute jungle drive to town. Sweet caretaker couple although they don’t speak English didn’t matter. Water access was sketchy due to waves there but a great beach 5 minutes walk south.

Paradise in the jungle
Palapa Ganesh was breathe taking! Please be aware that getting there is a little tricky BUT the owner does tell you to get a taxi for guidance. Once you’re actually at the house all your worries go away. Licha and Gil were excellent help and answered all our question. I will definitely be staying here again ! I loved every moment of it. It was a dream ✨

absolutely perfect in every way ;)
no words can aptly describe this experience. emmanuel helped complete a truly remarkable trip. his connection with an array of folks helped refine all aspects of our time at palapa ganesh. from tending the palapa and grounds to selecting just the right edibles and drinkables and delightfully surfable waves. and yoga high above the crashing pacific! being driven through the middle of the night from PV and right into a thick jungle on a road best driven by someone with little hesitation, arriving at palapa ganesh clinging to a cliff high above the beautifully rugged coast is a breathtaking experience. do not miss this opportunity! we were a group of 2 adolescent boys, 2 teenage girls and 4 parents and the palapa still had more than enough space. thank you emmanuel! we cannot wait to return!

The Palapa was great
Licea and Gilberto were great - the food was spectacular. There is no A/C so it can get warm. The surf is very rough and the tides can change rapidly so be very cautious in the surf. Overall it was a Super experience.

Misrepresented especially for the price.
The setting of this property is beautiful. However, the home is in need of a severe upgrade and thorough cleaning. We arrived in the afternoon and discovered the house was very rustic with a dirty kitchen. The kitchen was not clean, black mold in sink and refrigerator. Coffee grounds moldy and left in coffee pot. And the furniture and fixtures need upgrading. The property description did not indicate how challenging it was to get to the house ( one lane, treacherous winding road ) making trips for dinner into town infeasible. The description should suggest bringing groceries upon arrival. Conversely , we stayed at a house earlier that week that was spectacular at a lower price. So I feel the property price, and description needs upgrading along with the furnishings and cleaning of the home. When we brought our concerns to the attention of the manager, some effort was made to clean the kitchen and breakfast was also offered- which we declined.

Incredible location overlooking the ocean.
Once you walk into the Palapa and look out over the ocean you can feel your blood pressure lower and your worries dissapear. This is really an incredible property in an incredible location. There are so many places on the property to relax and enjoy. The beach, the pool, sitting areas, and of course the deck of the Palapa that is overlooking a huge expanse of ocean. The caretakers are amazing and keep the place clean everday as well as they can cook meals for you. You should definitely stock up on drinks, food and ice before getting there. Once you are there it is Magical. If you need to unwind then come to Palapa Ganesh.

A one of a kind experience!
This place is one of a kind. There is no other experience then to be secluded, oceanfront with ocean breeze roaming through the palapa.
The groundskeepers were extremely helpful and the place was immaculately clean and cozy.
I will 100% return to Palapa Ganesh.
Namaste.
