Casa Isabel is Yelapa’s oldest and most iconic guesthouse. Created over 53 years ago by Isabel Jordan who fell in love with Yelapa and its culture and made it a home for herself as well as a sanctuary for artists, healers and travelers from all over the world. Although Isabel has passed along, her spirit lives on through the people who knew her and still come to visit to share stories of their incredible experiences here.

Casa Isabel has been fully, sustainably, and artfully reconstructed in 2009. Huge trees form a jungle canopy over an enchanting garden hillside. It offers a variety of unique ocean-view accommodations, their privacy insured by lush shrubs and flowering vines planted many years ago by Isabel herself. Each casita has its own special charm and artsy details and is oriented around the original structure Casa Central. This is the heartbeat of the guesthouse.

Casa Central has a newly renovated kitchen and lounge area where groups enjoy their breakfasts and dinners. The Yoga Pavillion on the top floor has a breathtaking view of the Bay of Banderas where whales and manta rays can be seen playing and jumping out of the ocean. It is a magical space for classes and ceremonies with the surround sound of the ocean waves crashing below and birds chirping in the trees.
