With its exclusive hillside location offering stunning views of Banderas Bay and the town of Puerto Vallarta, the Marcela Resort & Spa offers guests a truly memorable vacation experience. This quaint boutique resort gives vacationers a unique sense of privacy in this popular tourist town. Each villa has a full kitchen and its own balcony or patio with breathtaking ocean views. The resort also features a series of five cascading pools with an adjacent pool bar and an on-site restaurant, which is available for all meals and room service. Cobblestone streets adjacent to the resort lead to the wonderful beaches, restaurants, and activities that Puerto Vallarta is famous for.

Have you ever dreamed of having your own floor of a luxurious boutique resort to host an epic family vacation? Our second-floor suite-known as La Hacienda-is true "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" stuff, with three king bedrooms, three lavish bathrooms, a private outdoor hot tub, two kitchens, a massive wraparound patio, and an outdoor chiminea fireplace, all spread out over 3,500 square feet!

This is your exclusive domain at Marcela! You will be just steps away from the resort's pools, restaurant, and pathway into the heart of Puerto Vallarta's vibrant old town, but also removed from the real world in a den of divine Mexican luxury.

Let's start on the patio because La Hacienda is equal parts indoors and out! You are literally living in the gardens of Marcela with two extensive private terraces, one on either side of the villa. The patio extends beyond the width of the entire Marcela building, with a full outdoor kitchen, stone wall, and sitting area alongside a roaring fireplace chiminea on one side.

On the other side, the outdoor area extends further with a corner hot tub Jacuzzi jutting out to greet our waterfalls, immaculate terraced gardens, and the Gaudí-inspired 'bone' bridges, all overlooking the pools and the sea. You can choose to dine at the eight-person glass table inside or dine outside beneath the massive palapa with two ceiling fans above, rounded stone sofa with cushions, and two round dining tables with a view for miles. Indulge in rest and relaxation, day or night, in your patio's four spa-like lounge chairs as you marvel at the roaring waterfalls of Marcela's incredible gardens.

La Hacienda's master bedroom is a showstopper! The king bed has a comfortable fabric headboard, a trio of dramatic stone arches above, soft off-white bedding, and the biggest bathroom at Marcela, which is a literal oasis of calm. There's a bidet, toilet, large tile rain shower with marble stone seat and three horizontal jets, double sinks, a large vanity, sitting area, and a designed water garden feature.

King bedroom number two is draped in rich reds and dark woods and is beside the second bathroom, with its green-tile sunken tub and rain shower.

The third bedroom at the far end of the villa is bright and airy with teal walls and crisp white bedding. It is bathed in sunlight as the room pours out onto the curved tile patio and the suite's amazing outdoor kitchen. The connected bathroom has a sunken tile jetted tub and rainfall shower, toilet, sink, and features a chic wooded armoire and detailed tile work throughout.

At the end of the day, you can unwind in the enormous living room outfitted with multiple sofas, chairs, a massive HDTV, and native pieces of art. The villa's impressive indoor kitchen features a 6-burner stove, oven, full-size refrigerator, microwave, blender, coffee maker, and all the pots, pans, flatware, and stoneware you'll need to enjoy your stay.

La Hacienda features individually-controlled air conditioning units throughout, ceiling fans, and colorful sconces in every room, a staple of the Marcela Resort. Providing every convenience, La Hacienda additionally offers a full-size washer and dryer and complimentary Wi-Fi.

This property also comes with a host of exceptional amenities because it resides inside the campus of the Marcela Resort & Spa.

All of our resort guests additionally get access to our five swimming pools, Jacuzzi at pool level, on-campus gourmet restaurant, room service, 5-star-resort-level beauty shop and spa, full fitness center, PGA-designed putting green, and all of our campus' gardens and waterfalls. During your stay, we're also proud to offer ATV tours (which begin and end at the resort) and an on-site concierge who can arrange excursions, sight-seeing tours, restaurant reservations, transportation, and all of your vacation needs.
