    Great post! Just curious about your experience taking drone shots in Bora Bora and Moorea? They have pretty strict laws/rules there and I am learning the areas are pretty limited aerial shots, especially on BB.

      Hi Megan! I was there two years ago and I didn’t have any issues, but I believe you’ll need to discuss this with the property you’re at because it is a privacy issue. Even for myself, I wouldn’t want someone flying around a drone over my overwater bungalow if I was on my honeymoon, you know? When I was there, I didn’t fly the drone wider than my room and I would choose a time when there weren’t other people on their decks, or I flew it from a totally different part of the island where I wasn’t near any properties and I was high enough where you couldn’t see anybody. But I do believe it’s property to property, not necessarily the islands regulating it. They’ve probably gotten more strict with respecting the privacy of guests, over the past two years though. So again, check with the property you’re staying at.

      My drone – the DJI Mavic Pro 2 is so small and I didn’t have any issues bringing it my carry-on, so I don’t think you’ll have issues getting it through immigration/the region. But I would have a very honest and open conversation with the property. I hope that helps! 🙂

    This guide is great. I’m thinking about buying a drone myself and I’m checking some tips first. Thanks

      I really love my drone and have gotten some really unique photos from them!

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
