Zabuco Villas

1 or 2 bed, 1 or 2 bath, utmost seclusion with panoramic ocean views (Up to 4,083 total indoor/outdoor sq ft)

Zabuco Villa is where the dream of Secret Bay began. The original Peninsula Zabuco Villa is built on the exact spot at the end of the promontory where proprietor Gregor Nassief and wife Sandra Vivas planned to build their dream home. The iconic design, gifted to the couple by Sandra’s father, renowned Latin American architect, Fruto Vivas, captures the resort’s inherent aura of romance and provides the ultimate escape for those in love; fittingly voted the third sexiest bedroom in the world by the Smith Awards.
