If you want to stay somewhere where the ocean is quite literally on your doorstep… this is it. MESA del mar offers a luxury stay for up to 8. You'll be right on the Esplanade, steps from the beach and only a short drive away from the cellar doors & restaurants of McLaren Vale.

MESA is perfect for families or friends who want a luxe coastal escape with modern amenities and a homely vibe.

MESA is the kind of place you book for a weekend… and end up wishing you had stayed for longer.

The space
MESA del mar is a beachfront home positioned right on the Esplanade, with uninterrupted views across the water and space for up to 8 guests to slow down, reset and actually enjoy time away. Private, secure and designed to feel calm from the moment you arrive.

Perfect for families (yes, we’ve thought of the little things) or a group of friends wanting a design-led coastal escape just under an hour from Adelaide, and minutes from McLaren Vale.

Everything has been considered to make your stay feel effortless, from the layout of the home to the small details you don’t want to think about when you're on holiday.

Dates tend to book out quickly, especially over weekends and school holidays.
