Ballena at Caivama

Summary:

Ballena offers a front-row seat to Sayulita's natural beauty. Ocean views, breezy outdoor living, and a private plunge pool invite slow mornings and unforgettable sunsets, while downtown and the beach remain just minutes away. It's an inviting retreat for guests who want to experience Sayulita without giving up comfort or privacy.



The Space:

Some residences are remembered for where they are. Ballena is remembered for what you experience from it. During whale season, your private terrace becomes a front-row seat to one of nature's most remarkable spectacles, where migrating humpback whales can often be spotted beyond the coastline while ocean breezes drift across the hillside.



Inside, contemporary architecture keeps the focus where it belongs—on the Pacific beyond the glass. The open living area flows naturally onto the terrace, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Whether you're beginning the day with coffee beside your private plunge pool or ending it beneath a colorful Sayulita sunset, the ocean remains the constant backdrop to your stay.



Beyond your residence, Caivama expands the experience with thoughtfully designed shared amenities, including a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Pacific, an adults-only pool and bar, jacuzzi, family pool, yoga studio, fitness center, co-working lounge, and inviting spaces to relax after a day exploring Sayulita.



Guest Access:

You'll enjoy exclusive access to Ballena throughout your stay, along with full access to Caivama's adults-only rooftop infinity pool, family pool, fitness center, yoga studio, coworking lounge, rooftop gathering spaces, and beautifully landscaped common areas.



The Neighborhood:

Sayulita has earned its reputation as one of Mexico's most beloved beach towns, where surf culture, colorful streets, local artisans, and exceptional dining create an atmosphere that's both vibrant and welcoming. Spend the day exploring boutique shops, relaxing on the beach, learning to surf, or discovering one of the many cafés and restaurants that give the town its unmistakable character.



Caivama's hillside location offers a different perspective on the experience. Close enough to enjoy everything Sayulita has to offer, yet tucked away from the busiest streets, it provides a peaceful place to begin and end each day.



The surrounding Riviera Nayarit is equally rewarding to explore, with secluded beaches, coastal villages, hiking trails, and seasonal whale watching all within easy reach.



Getting Around:

Many guests enjoy walking between Caivama and downtown Sayulita, while others prefer renting a golf cart to explore the area at a more relaxed pace. Rental cars are also a great option for discovering the beaches, villages, and natural beauty found throughout the Riviera Nayarit.
