If you’ve been searching for a tantalizing excuse to jet off to Mexico, look no further. Already celebrated in the world of exclusive private lodging for its offerings in other global destinations, luxury villa rental company In Residence by Pieter Brundyn has magnified its international presence with new properties in Mexico.

“From food to architecture, it is no surprise that Mexico is one of the most magical and diverse countries for travelers seeking a transformative holiday. We are excited to welcome the evolution of the villa stay in the destination by offering the service, privacy and experiences that have made us a leader in the luxury villa market in South Africa and Greece,” said Pieter Brundyn, CEO, In Residence.

In the private beach resort of Careyes, discerning travelers can choose from a collection of 65 colorful villas, 40 casitas and three bungalows nestled among the cliffs of the Pacific coast that evoke images of Portofino, Italy, and that was originally developed as a private hideaway for celebrities.

On the Gulf Coast in Merida, Royal Villa at Chable Resort provides a spectacular base to explore the local restaurants, Mayan ruins and underground cenotes. At Alta Vista Villa in Playa Del Carmen, guests can relax in seaside luxury on the Caribbean Sea, explore the mysteries of ancient Mayan pyramids or take a short ferry jaunt to view turtles and rays while snorkeling at Cozumel Island.

Private luxury lodging near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Sian Ka’an includes a selection of elegant bespoke villas that put guests within range of mystical ruins, wildlife viewing, coastal wetlands and sparkling lagoons. Other properties within the new Mexican portfolio can be found in Los Cabos, Punta Mita, Riviera Maya, Tulum and Xpu-Ha. All feature In Residence by Pieter Brundyn’s signature attention to detail and premiere in-house concierge services.
