Las Alamandas: Pacific Paradise
Las Alamandas
The first thing that strikes you upon entering Las Alamandas, a little corner of heaven on Mexico's sunny Pacific Coast, south of Puerto Vallarta, is the profusion of colors: parakeet-blues, canary-yellows and flamingo-pinks. The distinctive setting almost guarantees an “anything is possible” vacation. Richly appointed villas (six in all) blend perfectly into 1,500 acres of exotic trees, palms, flowers, wild birds, lagoons and endless white-sand beaches. The hotel's private grounds are large enough so that each guest can enjoy regal calm and privacy. Owner Isabel Goldsmith, daughter of the late British financier Sir James Goldsmith, inherited this plot of paradise and supervises everything to accommodate your needs. You will feel as though you're staying at a private estate. The resort could feasibly serve hundreds but caters to 28 only at capacity, meaning you can go your entire visit without seeing anyone other than your waitstaff. Las Alamandas is also an easy getaway: A private asphalted landing strip accommodates small aircraft that can be chartered from Puerto Vallarta.
