About this property

Penthouse Luxury 3BR with Ocean View, Private Terraces and Heated Pool

Penthouse - Ranked a Guest Favorite worldwide, the Penthouse is Villa Amistad’s most exceptional space—combining the finest ocean views in the villa with privacy, comfort, and authentic Mexican design. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath retreat is created by combining
Miguel’s Mirador (1BR) and Iván’s Bella Vista (2BR), offering the full top floor with two private balconies and panoramic views of Banderas Bay.
The space

Inside the Penthouse, floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to sweeping vistas where you can watch whale migrations in winter, sunsets year-round, and nightly fireworks over the bay. Each bedroom includes a king bed with luxury linens and an ensuite bathroom with
rainfall shower and premium toiletries. The open-concept living and dining area flows into a full kitchen—perfect for relaxed meals, entertaining, or working remotely with high-speed Wi-Fi (up to 1 Gbps + backup). The master bedroom (Miguel's Mirador) has
its own large ocean facing balcony with lounge seating, private hammock, and private entrance via its own spiral staircase to the main level below. The Penthouse's other large ocean facing balcony offers a wonderful outdoor seating area and small dining table
for 4. The Penthouse is one of up to four private residences that make up Villa Amistad. Each has its own private entrance and living space, offering a perfect blend of privacy and boutique-style amenities. Guests enjoy access to Villa Amistad’s shared amenities,
including the heated saltwater pool with ocean views, two shared terraces, honor bar, BBQ grill, purified water throughout the property, and daily housekeeping (Mon–Sat). A bilingual digital guidebook is included with complete information about the villa,
curated dining recommendations, activities, request in-house massages, and information about our concierge service to assist with arranging airport transfer options, chef services, tours, and more. Located in El Cerro, Puerto Vallarta’s original hillside neighborhood,
it’s just a 5-minute walk to the Malecón and 10–20 minutes to beaches, restaurants, nightlife, and art galleries. The hill is moderate—Ubers and taxis are readily available if you prefer not to walk. IMPORTANT NOTES - Check-in: 4:00 PM | Check-out: 11:00 AM

Guest access

Parking and drop-offs Guests can drive up to the house to drop off luggage. While parking isn’t allowed in the alley, street parking is available nearby on adjacent streets. Guests and friends have never had an issue with their cars.
The neighborhood

Villa Amistad is located in El Cerro, one of Puerto Vallarta’s original hillside neighborhoods overlooking Banderas Bay. Our small cobblestone alley is home to long-time Mexican families, many single middle-aged to older women, and a few gay men — a close-knit
community where neighbors know each other and look out for one another. It feels authentic, lived-in, and safe. Guests love staying here because they can enjoy the energy of the city, then return to a peaceful, local neighborhood that still feels genuinely
Mexican.
Getting around

The Romantic Zone, Centro, and 5 de Diciembre neighborhoods are all within walking distance—most places are 5–25 minutes away on foot. The hill up to the villa is moderate; guests who prefer not to walk are welcome to use the many Ubers and taxis readily available
and affordable in this area. Local buses run along the main roads below and cost 10 pesos (exact change required).
Other things to note

Concierge Services Our local concierge, Faby, can help arrange airport transfers, private drivers, chefs, grocery delivery, tours, restaurant reservations, beach setups, and more. Full details and booking options are available in your digital guidebook. Families
Families with children are welcome, but please note the villa is not childproof. There is an unfenced pool, open stairs, low railings, and breakable artwork and pottery. No children’s furniture or toys are provided. We encourage parents to reach out before
booking if they have questions to ensure the villa is a good fit.
Interaction with guests

Personalized Hospitality We live onsite in private apartments, so we’re nearby if you need anything—without intruding on your privacy. You may see us around helping staff or maintaining the villa; occasionally we use the shared spaces, but only when they’re
unoccupied and always with guest comfort in mind. We're here to help as much or as little as you’d like—whether that’s answering questions, offering local tips, or simply ensuring your stay is smooth and relaxing.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The best!

We rented the penthouse and had neighbors below. This place was almost too good to be true! Absolutely immaculate. Every room had a comfortable queen bed, a private restroom with shower, and individual a/c that was easy to operate. The views were amazing. The pool was clean. The hosts at checkin were so nice, informative, and helped with our luggage. They made sure our stay was top notch. I felt like I was at a 5 star resort. The only thing I would keep in mind is that there’s a lot of stairs starting from the street. This was not a problem for us but if you have issues walking, it’s good to be prepared. This is the most accommodating place I’ve stayed in and I’m looking forward to renting again on my next visit.
