Unless you have been there it is impossible to imagine a place like Casa Blanca... the vast bays, the immense expanse flats, hidden lagoons rimmed with mangroves... an endless, isolated world of turquoise shallows, it seems.  Pelicans and frigates hover above the small island catching the rising currents of air; herons and ibis wade and hunt the margins. Rays and lobster track the bottom. Barracuda hang motionless... and then are gone. And again and again, passing like a cloud over the flats, come permit and bonefish in school, pushing water, tailing, cutting their own curious paths across the sand, through the turtle grass awaiting your cast, your strike. It is hard to imagine the surge of adrenaline as you lift your rod, the line sizzling through the water. It almost seems as if time is suspended. It is a moment impossible to forget.

The area surrounding Casa Blanca is wild, virtually uninhabited and extraordinarily beautiful. There are miles of shallow bays, secluded mangrove-rimmed lagoons, white sand beaches, and dense coastal jungle. Once your have been to Casa Blanca, take the time to explore its vast tropical landscape and experience the exquisite isolation, you will find that it will remain with you long after you have boarded your plane and returned home to civilization. Casa Blanca is truly unforgettable...one of those rare places you will want to return to again and again until you have made it your own.

The lodge itself is perched on the tip of a narrow coastal island on the southern edge of Ascension Bay. It also happens to be in the center of one of the world's largest protected wild areas...the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. This pristine reserve covers over 1.3 million acres and completely surrounds Casa Blanca. Sian Ka'an has also been designated by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site.
Together, Ascension and Espiritu Santo Bay are as close to paradise you will find anywhere. They possess a unique combination of environments which create the ideal habitat for a wide variety of animal life and sea life. In essence, it is great home for game fish.

The vast estuary/flats system and adjacent reef are the basis of Casa Blanca's pristine, and highly productive fishery. Shallow water coral species demand a very stable environment with precise water temperature and consistent water depth in order to flourish. This is why large barrier reefs, like the Palancar Reef that parallels Casa Blanca's coast, are so rare. Palancar is second only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef in size.

No need to make the 5 to 6 hour drive to Punta Allen. Included in your stay is the charter flight along the Yucatan coast to the lodge's private airstrip, approximately 3 minutes by boat from the main lodge. There is a short walk from the plane to the boat dock, so change into your boat shoes before departing Cancun. At the Casa Blanca main dock, lodge staff will greet you and show you to your room. Your baggage will arrive a few moments later.
