About Manzanillo

Manzanillo is the sailfish capital of the world and offers unrivalled fishing - sailfish, tuna, marlin, swordfish, dorado and much more. In addition the beautiful ocean and beaches offer surfing, diving, snorkelling, boat trips and motorized and non-motorized water sports.
Manzanillo is also a world center for golf. The Dye Family designed the
La Mantarraya
golf course over thirty years ago. This golf course, located at nearby Las Hadas Resort, is noted for a hole with a sand trap located in the middle of the green and a par three, man-made island built out in the ocean.
Club Santiago
is located less than ten minutes from the villa. It is a semi-private golf course with nine holes that is well worth a visit.
Isla Navidad
a 30 minute drive, offers twenty-seven holes of ocean and bay front fairways. Golf Magazine awarded this golf course one of only two Gold Medals in Mexico. The mounds and views are abundantly striking.
Last but not least is
El Tamarindo
rated as one of the 10 best golf courses in Mexico. Carved into the jungle, it features tall trees, ocean views, and undulating terrain. The course is not crowded and is extremely unusual for a number of reasons, not the least of which are the monkeys often seen on the course! This golf course is a ninety minute drive from the villa.
But the real attraction of the Mexican Riviera is the relaxed environment among the local people combined with the excellent climate and beautiful environs. The state of Colima is a very safe place with virtually no crime in Manzanillo. There are few tourists, no lines, no crowds, and few fast-food chains, all positive traits that are not often found in resort towns of this caliber. Superb seafood dishes, traditional Mexican fare and even international cuisine can be enjoyed inexpensively at open-air restaurants while listening to the soothing sounds of the Pacific Ocean. You will find that your dream vacation here is far less expensive than expected.
The secluded Bay Of Audencia is within walking distance from the Villa and is favored with perfectly safe, crystal blue water and a sandy beach. This is the beach where the movie ‘10’ starring Bo Derek was filmed and where sailors from Cortez’s galleons were granted an audience with local Indian Chieftains in 1523 - thus the name 'Playa de La Audencia'.
