November - February Season
From November to February, Villa Tortugas becomes a front-row seat to one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles: whale watching season. With the villa’s stunning 180-degree ocean views, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to witness majestic whales breaching, tail-slapping, and playing in the sparkling waters—all from the comfort of your home. Many of our guests have shared that the experience of watching these gentle giants from the villa far surpasses the need to spend $300 per person on a crowded boat tour. Relax with your loved ones, enjoy the show, and create lasting memories from this one-of-a-kind vantage point.

Nearby, enjoy world-class golf courses, the charming seaside towns of Boca de Tomatlan and Sayulita, or indulge in fresh seafood at local riverside restaurants.

STAFF AND SERVICES
At Villa Tortugas, our dedicated team is there daily to help care for the property so your stay feels effortless, comfortable, and relaxing. We can also help customize the experience based on your group’s preferences, whether you would like additional attention to shared spaces, help keeping the home refreshed throughout the day, or a more tailored level of support during your stay. Our goal is to make sure the villa is cared for exactly the way you like, so you can focus on enjoying your time together.
FOOD SERVICE:
To make your stay even more enjoyable, Villa Tortugas offers optional Food Services for your group. Our team can prepare, serve, and clean up meals, allowing you to spend more time relaxing and less time worrying about the details. Food Services are available for a flat fee of $250 per day for your entire group—not per person. This includes two meals per day (breakfast and an early dinner), along with snacks available throughout the day. A third meal may be added for an additional $150, although most groups find that two meals are ideal. Please note that the cost of food is not included. It’s an affordable and convenient way to enjoy a more relaxing, full-service experience in the comfort of the villa.
