Inside Staycation’s Emmy-Winning Punta Mita Episode – Discover Mexico’s Most Stunning Vacation Rentals
A closer look at the homes that defined one of Staycation’s most celebrated episodes.
Staycation has always been about more than real estate. It’s about the spaces people build and the stories they tell. In Punta Mita, Mexico, that approach came into full focus—and earned the show a 2025 Emmy Award for Long-Form Lifestyle Series.
Shot in collaboration with Interentals Luxury Experiences, the episode featured four standout properties that reflect the best of Punta Mita’s coastal lifestyle. The result? A blend of thoughtful design, local insight, and cinematic storytelling. Here’s a closer look at the homes—and why they mattered.
Villa Ananda
This beachfront retreat is all about flow—between indoors and out, sound and silence, stillness and movement. Guests can step straight from a palm-lined patio into the ocean, or retreat to a rooftop suite for some perspective.
The details are intentional: a garden atrium at the center, a spa dome by the beach, and a sense of calm that carries through the space.
Casa Familia
Built for group getaways, Casa Familia blends modern amenities with open-air living. It’s 13,000 square feet of indoor-outdoor design, with ocean-view bedrooms, a poolside lounge, and a terrace made for sunset dinners.
Bonus: a private sports court, a media room, and a chef-ready kitchen that makes staying in the easy choice.
Casa Cuixa
Bright, bold, and right on the sand. Casa Cuixa is what you book when you want privacy, space, and views that do most of the talking.
The house sleeps a crew, includes paddleboards and a golf cart, and has one of the best palapa dining setups we’ve seen. If your idea of a getaway includes fresh ceviche at golden hour—this is the place.
Hotel Ysuri
Technically a boutique hotel. Practically a front-row seat to Bucerías beach life. Hotel Ysuri trades over-the-top extras for thoughtful design and warm hospitality—like a pool that opens to the ocean and balconies that catch the breeze just right.
Meet Paty Cesiarelli – The Vision Behind Interentals Luxury Experiences
Much of this episode’s heart comes from Paty Cesiarelli, the producer behind Interentals Luxury Experiences. Based in Bahía de Banderas, Paty’s mission is simple: show the world the beauty of Mexico, inside and out.
“This project was made to highlight the natural and human beauty of the region. It belongs to all of us,” she said.
