Costa Careyes What To Do

Head down to Playa Rosa before breakfast for a swim. There’s no better way start to the day! There’s also a pink bar you can’t miss right there on the beach where they make fresh fruit juices every morning.

You can also start the day with a yoga class in Casa Corazón surrounded by the jungle. This costs 200 MXN or $12 USD.

Rent a boat for a few hours, which of course the concierge will sort out, for $ 80 USD an hour. Witness Careyes from the sea! Get picked up in Playa Rosa after breakfast, go to Paraiso (beach), and come back for lunch.

About 20 minutes away from Careyes there’s are a few beaches called Careyitos, Piratas and Arroyo Seco where you can go surfing. Remember, it’s the Pacific – the waves are perfect for just that!

Drive over to Copa del Sol to watch the sunset and get ready to be awed. Don’t forget to the most important element: a cooler with drinks! I also love to get take out at night from one of the restaurants and drive to La Copa to see the stars.

Teopa is a 6 km-long virgin beach with nothing and no one. Afternoon walks there are surreal, you’ll be the only one there. Make your way to the turtle sanctuary located on the left hand corner of the beach. When the eggs have hatched the newborns are released on the beach to make their way to the sea at around sunset. You’ll see hundred of baby turtles!

You can’t leave Careyes without seeing Mi Ojo, Tigre del Mar and Oriente – three of Careyes’ most iconic houses! The concierge organizes all of this for you, for free.

Spend the day lounging on the palm tree mats with a book in Playa Rosa.

I also love to just spend the day by the pool sipping margaritas de Jamaica listening to music and chilling with friends!

Go horseback riding on the beach around sunset – Careyes has over 80 polo ponies. The ride costs $100 USD and it’s very much worth it.

If it’s polo season (during November, December and Easter) head over to the polo fields, located just before Teopa, after lunch. Have a drink and mingle! There are usually dinners and parties organized in the horse stables and in some of the houses, that everyone is free to join – they’re very fun and a great chance to take a peek inside.

Careyes can be as active or as chill as you want it to be. The great thing about the concierge is that they make everything happen at the snap of your fingers and if it’s Easter, Chinese New Years, December or something of the sort – there will be parties or drinks or dinners happening somewhere every single night and everyone is always invited. It’s also Mexico – meaning you can arrive late, confirm attendance last minute, not confirm, go for five minutes, or sleep over(kidding not kidding).
