Villa Magna is the newest beachfront development in Nuevo Vallarta; a master-planned resort development with a wide expanse of beach, 3 championship golf courses, a marina, and many 4 and 5-star hotels. The newly opened Dreams hotel is now part of Villa Magna, offering discounts at many restaurants, bars, spa, and fitness center. This extraordinary destination is just 20 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. The beach is ideal for walking, sunning, boogie-boarding, and is free from rocks, unlike some beaches further south.
At Villa Magna, you will enjoy the ultimate in luxury at your beautiful new home away from home. Huge, multi-level heated pools with crossing bridges curve their way from the base of the building's open first floor with changing rooms all the way to the beach. This 4th floor unit provides the perfect vantage point for afternoon sun overlooking the pools, and spectacular sunsets over the ocean.
Approximately 1,500 square feet of living space includes master bedroom, large second bedroom and 3rd bedroom/maids room with day bed that pulls out to sleep 2, all with full baths and abundant storage. Walk-in closets feature beautifully crafted wooden built-in drawers and shelves. Individual air conditioners and ceiling fans provide the idea temperature for each room. The whirlpool bath in the master suite has doors that open-up to the bedroom and balcony outside.
Designer contemporary furnishings complement the limestone floors, granite kitchen and bar countertops and marble baths. Marble dining room and coffee tables offer carefree indoor dining. Triple floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in the living room and double floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in the master bedroom provide wide open access to the outdoors. Hunter-Douglas floor to ceiling shades roll down to keep the sun out when you want.
The huge balcony extends across the living room and master bedroom. In addition to the fantastic sunsets, the balcony features outdoor dining for 4, a swing-glide rocker for 2, and a large propane grill.
Back inside you'll find a 42" plasma TV with DVD in the living room and 32" plasma TV with DVD in the master, both with cable, HBO, and wireless internet. The fully stocked kitchen features a large fridge and freezer with ice-maker, convection microwave, dishwasher, blender, toaster oven, toaster, 4-burner electric range, coffeemaker, and designer silverware, complete with every amenity imaginable for your dining and relaxing pleasure. We’ve even added a high-capacity water filtration system under the sink, although the water in Nuevo Vallarta is carefully controlled and monitored for purity by the state.
Your security is assured with a gated entrance continuously manned by security guards. Only authorized owners and guests are allowed access. This private and quiet sanctuary provides the ideal place to relax, or serve as the ultimate home base from which to venture out to a wide array of possible adventures, including the busy and colorful streets of downtown Puerto Vallarta.
Many excursions depart from Nuevo Vallarta, including the zip line canopy tour, shuttles to the marina for whale and dolphin watching, swimming with the dolphins, and many others. Our on-site manager lives in the resort and is ready to assist you with any planning, reservations, or assistance you may need. Shopping for groceries and other items is available at the “Mega”, just a short drive or taxi ride north, where a huge selection of foods and other items are available.
Everything you might need for your perfect vacation has been provided; just add you and your family or friends.

New Luxury Beachfront Condo at 5-Star Villa Magna
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Villa Magna
We love the weather here, which is consistently gorgeous during our Chicago winters. Villa Magna in particular because of the location in Nuevo on the north part of the beach, the open feeling of the floorplan, the new construction, and the perfect view of the ocean and sunset.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The pools are magnificent the beach is wide. Our on-site property manager is there to take care of any need you might have. Also, there are many restaurants, bars and amenities at the Dreams hotel, which is part of the Villa Magna resort.
This map isn't new enough to show the roads. See Google Earth for better detail.

My wife and I just stayed for 26 days at this remarkable condo. Everything was as advertised and we enjoyed every minute of our trip. The condo itself was very nice, clean and well equipped with everything one would need for a 26 day stay. The rooms were well kept and the condo was nicely furnished and included an excellent view. We previously stayed at the Hotel Resort connected to these condos in early March of 2011. When we decided to come back in December of 2011 we knew we wanted to try the condos out and it was well worth it. The condo owner was extremely nice and easy to work with and we have no complaints whatsoever (only wish we could have stayed longer). If you have an opportunity to stay at this condo, you will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor and plan on staying here.
Owner response:Deana and Ryan, I'm glad you were pleased with the condo and I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

I spent almost 2 weeks at this great beach front condo in November of 2011. The condo was clean and there were no surprises, everything in the listing was accurate. The pools were great and the sunsets from the deck were amazing. I would definitely stay here again!
Owner response:Thanks, Miles. Glad you enjoyed it!

My husband and 3 almost teenagers spent a gorgeous week at this condo unit. It is beautifully furnished, very clean, extra's like beach towels, boogie boards, salt, pepper. coffee filters. The kitchen is beautiful, has a water filter system so the water is drinkable as well. The beach is magnificent, all sand, no sandals required. We walked every morning on the beach. ETC, our favorite restaurant on the beach for lunch and the Fajhita Republic for dinners. Golf is nearby, 2 fabulous courses. Lots of cabs available right outside security gate, approx $5.00 anywhere in Nuevo Vallarta, buses also, we didn't venture on those. Three pools, one warm and shallow for young kids and a great cold one right on the beach. Lots of lounge chairs and shade available for those who need it. Weather was gorgeous, sunny every day!!!

Our stay at Villa Magna was great. The condo unit was very comfortable, with more than enough space for 4 people. The third bedroom was very small (really a utility room) which did not affect us as there were only 3 in my party (2 teens (18 yrs.)1 adult). This is the first time that I stayed in a condo rather than in a hotel room. Even though I spend almost every waking hour on the beach, the extra space was very nice. The condo was impeccably clean and furnished adequately. Nice balcony, but furniture there was minimal. Well appointed with regard to hair dryer, flat iron, iron/ironing board and some pool rafts and boogie boards which we throughly enjoyed. My only complaint was that the master bath shower gave only luke warm water - other showers were OK. We stayed on-resort the entire week, primarily due to the state dept. warnings about the drug wars in Mexico. We purchased day passes from the resort at to cover all food and drinks. At the end of the week we found that going ala carte would have been more economical, but more of a hassle. Using the day passes wasn't entirely seamless - many of the hotel workers seemed to be somewhat unfamiliar with this concept, but by mid-week, everyone seemed to be used to us. The beach was very nice, and the cost of renting wave runners was much less than we paid in Playa last year. Drink service on the beach was hit-or miss. Not enough servers - faster to walk to the bar. The resort was beautiful, but not very teen-friendly. There were no real clubs and very few teens/young adults at the resort. The kids in our group still had a great time (we came with 2 other families, so there were 5 total), but if you have a kid who wants to really party, this isn't the place to be. Restaurant choices were somewhat limited, but the food was generally pretty good. The value was great - we had originally booked for the following week through Apple Vacations to stay in the hotel, but had to cancel for that week. We then scheduled directly with the condo and ended up saving about $1000 per person. About $500 of this was savings in booking our flight - we got lucky and found a great air fare. I've been to PV 5 times and really like it there. If the political climate was more favorable in Mexico, I'd have ventured off the resort for dinner on at least a few nights. There are lots of great restaurants in the city. I'm sure I'll return some day and would seriously consider staying at VM again

I have just returned from a one month stay at the Villa Magna. Joe and Kathy's condo is very comfortable with all amenities (towels, fully stocked kitchen, bedding, etc) included. The ocean view from the condo is spectular. This is our first stay at the Villa Magna since the addition of the Dreams Hotel on the property. The all-inclusive features were available to the condo guests at a minimal charge but found we didn't even need them. The condo is so well-appointed and the grocery shopping is close by so we tended to make our own meals and beverages in the condo. Restaurants in the area are plentiful and Puerto Vallarta and Bucerius are a short cab or bus ride away. The beaches in Nuevo are fantastic. Bucerius is also within walking distance on the beach (takes about 90 minutes). The property manager is on site and was quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns. We'll definitely be choosing the Villa Magna for our next trip to Nuevo.
