About this property

Beach front paradise; luxury villa -affordable rate. Perfect, relaxing escape!

Villa Lumina is simply and elegantly designed in an unmistakably tropical Mexican beachside setting. The living room, dining room and kitchen are framed by a beautiful woven palm roof, known as a 'palapa' and the living room has huge, comfortable sofas that you can chat or read a book. Our open plan social spaces allow groups and families to be together, without feeling crowded and on top of one another :)

Our space is decorated with pieces we have collected in India, Bali, Nepal and Mexico and original pieces by local artists. Our stunning living-edge dining room table is made from tropical wood, and seats 14 people comfortably. its beauty is reflected in a smaller table poolside and the bar stools at our kitchen island.
The open kitchen offers a large refrigerator and additional storage space for food items. The space invites guests to accompany the cook, and learn if they should wish, all the while being with the rest of the group.
We also have a large BBQ, perfect for grilling fish, veggies or meat, and a traditional comal for making tortillas!

The bedrooms are kept simple and fresh-looking, our custom designed clothing storage is also made of tropical wood. All rooms have overhead fans and a unique system of window and door slats to allow ventilation at all times. The bathrooms are brightly tiled and reflect the colors of the pacific.
Our pool area has shady sofas with sunbrella fabric and a living edge table and our tropical hardwood sunbeds have pull-out tables for you to place your drinks or reading glasses.
The pool itself has a seating area and a small paddling pool to one side for smaller children.
Access to the beach? Walk a few steps to the edge of the garden, it's right there!
We have colorful woven hammocks for you to relax in the shade of our palm trees as you listen to the waves. It really doesn't get any better.
Enjoy the incredible sunsets, sunrises, walks on the beach, dolphins swimming by, pelicans as they fly past. It is so beautiful and wonderful, it will blow your mind!


No noise but the sea, just the occasional fisherman walking by - Villa Lumina is an unbeatable tropical getaway. An eco-friendly home, Villa Lumina is the perfect choice for enjoying the beauty of nature for people with criteria and taste.

Perfect anniversary and family trip
We visited puerto 5 years ago and knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our 10 year anniversary with our family. The place was beautiful and clean with views of the pacific and beautiful sunsets. The staff and all the meals were great. Lupe and Juanita really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and Catherine was easy to communicate with. Would love to come back in the future!

Family Vacation
Beautiful property. Our family loved the beach and pool. Rayna, the chef, was wonderful. Our only hiccup was some communication regarding transportation from the airport to the property. After that, it was all good!

Beautiful property
Property is wonderful. Located about 10 miles from town. Recommend paying for the chef and grocery buyer. Will need transportation to get to from town. Lots of mosquitos, so keep doors and windows closed.

Perfect Bliss
The house, location, and staff exceeded all our expectations. Comfortable and chic, we were not at a loss for anything. It is simply a paradise. I highly recommend hiring Jaunita the cook who is a lovely person and makes the best food ! The owner Cath was lovely to deal with, very attentive and happy to assist and answer questions. I couldn't and neither could any of our group be any happier with the place and our stay. Just fabulous.

Didn’t want to leave!
The large open common area was perfect for our group of 10 friends. Beautiful open space to gather. The Pool was always clean and inviting. The beach was empty with great sunrises and sunsets. The waves were big enough to be fun but not so big to be intimidating. The stars at night were gorgeous! We hired the cook which was great. Everything she made was delicious and her smile and laugh were filled with sunshine. The place is about a half hour drive outside of Puerto Escondido so bring what you want it with you or go ahead and hire them to do the cooking and shopping. Will cry Will certainly stay here again for a family or friend retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Kumar

Host profile image
This is our family beach home – we are lucky enough to visit often. It has been an amazing place to watch the kids grow up and share incredible experiences with them. My youngest daughter was only three when we built our home, she learned to swim and dive in our pool, as have many of her friends over the years. We have watched turtles lay their eggs on our beach, watched the eggs hatch, seen dolphins swim and play, made sand castles, gone snorkeling and learned to surf. We have walked our dogs on the beach at sunrise and sunset. My favorite birthdays and celebrations have been here. It is truly wonderful and we are blessed to have this home and share it with others.

Why they chose this property

It is close to Puerto Escondido airport and only a beautiful hour's drive from Huatulco International airport. Puerto has fantastic food shops, surf shops and amenities. There are delicious restaurants and bars with live music in the evenings.And of course, it is home to Mexico´s premier surfing beach, Zicatela. There are also great beaches to learn surfing (and wonderful instructors), deep sea fishing, eco-tours and a huge variety of daytime activities. Cumana offered us the chance to enjoy an unspoilt beach and live on the sea. It has been an incredible experience for my family to see whales, dolphins, turtles all from our own home. We have spent incredible vacations there with friends and family, we always have magical times!

What makes this property unique

Puerto Escondido has been a firm family favorite for vacations and we absolutely LOVE the area.
Once we saw Costa Cumaná’s perfect, unspoilt beaches we knew it was THE vacation spot for family and friends -kids and adults swim in the pool, enjoy the beach, snorkel, surf and watch dolphins, pelicans and turtles. Our beautiful home, which is right on the beach, sleeps 14,and is a wonderful place to relax and have fun with the people close to you.
