VILLA AMOR

The feel of sea air on your face and a view of early-morning fishermen setting their lines ease you into the day at the Villa Amor, on the windswept Nayarit coast. A collection of oceanfront cottages built into a steep hillside, the villa epitomizes warmth, authenticity, and artfulness. Thatched roofs, curvy adobe walls, and — in some villas — plunge pools perched right over the hill will make you wish you could pack up the mood of this place and take it home. 35 cottages from $75; www.villaamor.com or 619/822-2731. –Amy Wolf
