The Stay

Wake Up on the Boardwalk

Ten bungalows to escape to, and the whole property can be walked barefoot end-to-end. The limitless ocean waits just past your personal lounger. Breakfast and full beach club days come with every booking, so all that’s left is to book your stay.

Enjoy Our Beautiful Private Beach Club

Take it from Our Guests

  • A mosaic table laid with breakfast dishes
    The food was by far the best of any all inclusive I've done.

  • Palms and palapas framing the beach and pool
    Nacional is a much smaller venue for a beach day allowing approximately 40 or so guests to have a more relaxing beach experience.

Beyond the property

Get to know Mahahual

Mahahual is a small village on the Caribbean, and the Malecon, its beachfront boardwalk, runs right past our loungers. We put everything we find ourselves telling guests into a local’s guide. Read it before you arrive.

Read Our FAQs

Guests ask the same practical questions before booking: how the ride from the cruise port works, what the swim area is like, when seaweed season runs, and what a beach day includes. The answers are all on one page.
