Poised on the edge of a cliff with 270 degree views of the Pacific and an infinity-edge pool, Casa Triton is one of the resort’s most spectacular houses. There are three bedrooms in the main house and an additional three in an adjacent guest house. Among the unusual touches: a tower for stargazing that houses a media room, a garden of cactus growing in the middle of the pool, and a staff that can arrange virtually anything, including last-minute candlelit dinners on the beach with a mariachi band.

The first of Careyes’ castles, this eight-bedroom house was built for the resort’s founder who has since moved to a more remote villa. Mi Ojo, which means my eye, is a whimsical blue, clifftop villa with one open eye and one shut eye painted on its façade. There are two master bedrooms and six additional guestrooms, lots of lounging around spaces, including a terrace with spectacular sunset views. Its special feature is the hanging rope bridge (think Indiana Jones) that sways over the ocean to a peninsula with its own botanical garden and meditation platforms.

One of the three Castles of Careyes, Occidente may be the only house in the world that comes with its own cable car to the beach. The six-bedroom property is located at the end of rocky peninsula between two gorgeous beaches, Playa Teopa and Playa Careyitos. Like its sister property Oriente, there is a moatlike pool encircling the star-shaped main house. Among the other special features are a bedroom suite inside a tower, a media room and a helipad.
