Casa Mantarraya | Modern Off-Grid Sanctuary Above the Sea of Cortez
Perched high above the turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortez, Casa Mantarraya is a striking modern retreat where architecture, privacy, and raw coastal beauty exist in perfect harmony. Set within an exclusive enclave of luxury oceanfront homes near La Paz, this approximately 7,500-square-foot off-grid estate offers an extraordinary blend of refined living and complete seclusion.
From its dramatic cliffside setting, sweeping panoramic views unfold across the sea, where whales migrate, manta rays glide, dolphins play, and Baja’s legendary sunsets paint the horizon each evening.
Designed with a clean and calming aesthetic, the home features soft white walls, polished marble floors, custom dark wood finishes, and floor-to-ceiling mirrored closets that reflect natural light throughout the space. Expansive glass walls and seamless indoor-outdoor living create a constant connection to the surrounding landscape and ocean beyond.
Casa Mantarraya offers three spacious ocean-view bedrooms, each with spa-inspired en-suite bathrooms and rain showers positioned to capture breathtaking water views. Every space within the home was intentionally designed to feel serene, restorative, and deeply connected to nature.
At the heart of the residence, the designer kitchen features blue quartzite countertops and premium appliances, ideal for everything from private chef dinners to slow mornings overlooking the sea. A dedicated massage room with mirrored ceilings adds an elevated spa-like experience, while the home’s fully off-grid infrastructure provides complete independence without sacrificing comfort or luxury.
Outside, the cliffside black lava stone pool and six-person jacuzzi overlook the sea below, surrounded by thoughtfully curated desert landscaping that complements the natural terrain rather than competing with it.
A private path leads down to a secluded white-sand beach and crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and exploring untouched coastline. Please note that access to the beach directly below the home involves approximately 250 steps down, and back up again. Many guests enjoy the experience as part of the adventure and a rewarding workout. For easier access, another stunning private beach is located just a 5-minute drive or a 15-minute desert walk away and requires only about 30 steps to reach the shoreline.
For guests who prefer not to navigate the stairs, a 4x4 vehicle can also access the lower beach area. We simply ask that vehicles remain parked a respectful distance from the shoreline in order to protect the turtle nets sprinkled throughout the beach’s pristine natural environment.
Located approximately 35 minutes from downtown La Paz and 15 minutes from the nearest developed marina, golf course, and restaurants, Casa Mantarraya offers the rare balance of complete privacy with convenient access to boating, dining, and cultural experiences.
For those seeking adventure beyond the property, guests may also arrange exclusive access to “Baby Whale Shark,” a sleek 25-foot 2025 speedboat ideal for island hopping, marine life encounters, snorkeling excursions, and sunset cruises. A professional captain is required for all excursions and is available for an additional fee of $300 USD, plus fuel costs (approximately $200 USD per full tank). Soft drinks, beer and an amazing fresh seafood lunch can be arranged for you on board for about 100 USD more.
Casa Mantarraya is more than a home, it is a modern sanctuary designed for freedom, tranquility, and unforgettable experiences above the sea.
