Casa Norte at Casa Comunal

As seen on the leading modern architecture site Dwell, Casa Norte is half of Casa Comunal, a rustic home on the Caribbean beachfront. It shares a roof and entryway room with Casa Sur, our other property, but is separated by two sliding walls for total privacy.

Casa Norte is an architectural home set upon the shores of the Caribbean, a retreat for the senses surrounded by lush gardens, exotic fruit trees, tropical flowers, and two wide-open beachfront decks.

Understated luxury with Mid-Century furniture handcrafted by local artisans, this getaway boasts handwoven textiles, hammocks, hanging beds, suspended lounging nets, two kitchens, a private sandy beach, a sustainable rainwater catchment system, and more.

Other things to note

Casa Comunal is a minimalist island home, located where the jungle meets the sea. While the home is very stylish, we recommend our guests be prepared for a rustic holiday. It is a combination of architectural simplicity and a glamping-type experience.

If you require a high-end luxury hotel-type experience, we suggest you book a different accommodation.

Also, regarding swimming at our beach in front of the house:
The sea out front of the house has a shallow reef. We only recommend swimming here on very flat days which are most common in the late summer months. During the rest of the year, there may be waves, which make the reef dangerous for swimmers. We do not recommend swimming here at any time of year with young children. However, there is a beach just 10 minutes walk down the road with a sandy bottom for an easy swim in a sheltered bay that is perfectly calm every day of the year.
