Tycoon Sir James Goldsmith's Luxury Villa Rents for First Time in History
Goldsmith's daughter Alix and her husband Goffredo Marcaccini now run the famed estate, which sits on 25,000 acres of dry tropical forest and agricultural land, lagoons, endless beaches and pristine surroundings. And, with a guest list that reads like the front row at the Oscars, Cuixmala is an exclusive enclave for lovers of privacy; a retreat for the jetset and gypset, nature lovers and sports addicts, together in harmony.

The jewel of Cuixmala, La Loma is a fantasy palace set on a wide swath of unspoiled beach all within a private nature reserve. Exotic animals graze in the distance, lagoons are home to crocodiles and 270 species of birds.

The house's cool white interiors float above a vast expanse of azure sea. The panoramic views, soaring ceilings and quiet fountain courtyards blend to create a fantasy hideaway. The master suite, a suite of unparalleled proportions, is palatial in scope with its own living terrace with splash pool size jacuzzi and an ocean view bathroom.

There are three additional deluxe bedrooms suites in the main house plus living rooms, dining room, library, media room and office, complemented by three palapa covered ocean view terraces for outdoor living and dining. Staff includes butlers, waiters, chefs, maids, laundress, gardeners, pool men, concierge and security. La Loma's Master suite is $3,000 per night, deluxe suites range from $1500-$1800 per night. Six oceanfront bungalows are available from $1500 per night with a presidential bungalow offered at $2000 per night. www.cuixmala.com
