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

Ranked a Guest Favorite worldwide, the Penthouse at Villa Amistad is our most exceptional residence—offering the best ocean views in the villa, top-floor privacy, and authentic Mexican design in the heart of Puerto Vallarta.

The Penthouse is located within Villa Amistad, a boutique hillside villa with only a small collection of private apartments. It’s an ideal way to enjoy the beauty and atmosphere of staying in a villa setting without needing to rent the entire property.

This expansive 3-bedroom, 3-bath penthouse occupies the entire top floor and is created by combining Miguel’s Mirador (1BR) and Iván’s Bella Vista (2BR) into one seamless retreat. Guests enjoy two large private ocean-facing terraces, sweeping views of Banderas Bay, and easy walkability to the Malecón, beaches, restaurants, art galleries, and nightlife.

Ideal for couples, friends, families, and remote workers seeking space, comfort, and a true Puerto Vallarta experience.

THE SPACE

Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by floor-to-ceiling glass doors and open ocean views, filling the home with natural light and sea breezes. Mornings begin with coffee overlooking the bay, afternoons drift by with warm breezes and quiet relaxation, and evenings bring unforgettable sunsets, winter whale sightings, and fireworks over the water.

Each of the three bedrooms features:

- King bed with plush pillow-top mattress
- Luxury 100% cotton percale linens
- Extra pillows and handwoven Chiapas blankets

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Located in El Cerro/Centro, Puerto Vallarta’s original hillside neighborhood:

- 5-minute walk to the Malecón
- 10–20 minutes to beaches, restaurants, nightlife, and art galleries
- Moderate hill; Uber and taxis are inexpensive and plentiful
- Guests love being close to everything while returning to a quieter, residential setting.

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).

FAMILY NOTE

Families with children are welcome; however, the villa is not childproof. There is an unfenced pool, open stairs, low railings, and breakable artwork. Parents are encouraged to reach out before booking to ensure the property is a good fit.

PERSONALIZED HOSPITALITY

We live onsite in private staff apartments and are available if needed, while fully respecting guest privacy. You may see us assisting staff or maintaining the property. We are happy to help with questions, recommendations, or anything that makes your stay more enjoyable.
