Overlooking Barra de Navidad’s bright beachfront skies is Casa Zicatela, a five-bedroom bungalow bordered by hammock-hung palm trees and a sea-facing infinity pool. Minimal interiors and a free-flowing structure are met with natural tones and bambooed canopies to create an impressive open space just steps from the beach. Four of the villa’s bedrooms open out onto the private garden and pool, and the fifth has three sets of bunk beds that are ideal for any accompanying little Smiths. After a day of lying by the pool, head out for an evening surf session (or watch from the safety of the sand) as your private chefs sauté away.
