· When entering LA GEMA - the views, the scenery, the landscape and more. You have entered into one of Oaxaca’s great palapas - showcasing the best of Oaxacan textiles and interior design.

· The villa was designed for guests who want to enjoy delicious gourmet food at home while also being able to taste the diverse food scene that Puerto has to offer; at La Gema we provide two meals a day, prepared by our private chef (which are included in the nightly rate). We are the only luxury villa in Puerto Escondido that does not separately charge guests for the cost of food/ingredients.

· Every day your bed will be made, your room will be cleaned and your bathroom will be your sanctuary.

· Relax in our stunning walk-in infinity pool with panoramic views of the Pacific surrounded by our beautiful sun deck with chaise lounges and umbrellas.

· All 5 bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, en-suite bathrooms, luxury linens and ocean views sleeping up to 12 guests.

· WiFi in Puerto can be tricky at best; at La Gema we have you covered with global “Starlink” satellite internet/WiFi throughout the property.

· Indulge in the jacuzzi perched on a cliff just below the villa where you can enjoy ocean views and total privacy.

· Design elements focusing on local artisanal hand made furniture, ceramics and textiles to capture a true yet modern Oaxacan aesthetic.

· A private gated community in the heart of town with paved roads unlike most other quality properties in Puerto Escondido.
