Nestled in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO protected area, Bautista House blends luxury and sustainability. This private villa, facing the Caribbean Sea, offers a peaceful retreat where nature and modern design coexist. Entrepreneur Ezequiel Ayarza Sforza and the Mexican architecture studio PRODUCTORA created Bautista House as a testament to conscientious luxury.
A Masterpiece of Modern Design and Nature Integration
The villa’s striking structure, made from blue-tinted concrete, fits seamlessly into the landscape near southern Tulum. With 300 square meters, the L-shaped house draws inspiration from Brazilian modernism and Edward James’ Surrealist garden, creating a brutalist yet elegant experience.
A spiral staircase connects the villa’s three floors. The ground floor stores water sports equipment and provides direct access to the Campechén lagoon for kayaking, along with a private beach.
Local artisans built the terraces and tzalam wood pergolas on the main floor. These features add warmth and promote cross-ventilation. The sea breeze cools the dining room, living areas, and jacuzzi, offering views of the ocean, birdlife, and jungle.
The roof terrace includes a pool and barbecue area, perfect for relaxation. Guests enjoy panoramic views of the sea and the green horizon, creating a dream-like setting.
Personalized Services for Total Comfort
Bautista House ensures a home-away-from-home experience. A dedicated concierge and house manager focus on complete comfort and relaxation. The house chef prepares delicious meals using fresh ingredients, including premium seafood, blending Mexican classics with gourmet flair.
Guests can enjoy individual yoga sessions and massages from professionals who use ancient Mayan wisdom. This offers a holistic approach to relaxation and health.
Commitment to Sustainability and Community
Sustainability is key at Bautista House. The villa uses clean energy from solar and wind sources to reduce its environmental footprint. Smart design features, like blinds, efficiently regulate temperature and ventilation, ensuring comfort.
Bautista House supports Pueblo del Sol, a project for humanitarian transformation. This initiative works with indigenous communities in Oaxaca to promote organic production of coffee, vanilla, cocoa, and honey. It ensures fair trade for local artisans, including potters, ceramists, and carpenters. Each stay at Bautista House helps these noble goals.
In summary, Bautista House offers luxury, sustainability, and cultural immersion. Guests enjoy unparalleled comfort while supporting meaningful social and environmental initiatives. Whether seeking relaxation, adventure, or a deep connection with nature and culture, Bautista House stands as a beacon of conscientious luxury in the Caribbean.
