getaways
Estas escapadas son para los que ya conocen Puerto Vallarta, o incluso para los que viven aquí y buscan algo nuevo por descubrir. Todos ofrecen un agradecido descanso al barullo de la ciudad; la mayoría tienen acceso por automóvil, aunque hay algunos a los que sólo se puede llegar en lancha.
A seven-room villa, Casa Las Brisas overlooks one of the area’s most beautiful beaches, just 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta next to Punta Mita. Guestrooms, with breathtaking ocean views, surround the pool. The menu is so well executed by the incredible chef, with each day bringing a surprise of alternating Mexican contemporary and classic dishes, that this is one resort where guests welcome the formula of included meals. A wonderful place for weekends and more.
How long does it take to leave civilization completely behind? Just 20 min., the length of the boat ride from PV to the eco-resort Majahuitas. This collection of solar-powered open-air casitas sits between a preserved jungle and the crystalline waters of the bay, making a visit here a truly relaxing experience. The eight casitas have handmade wood furniture, a thatch or tile roof and colorful Mexican pottery. Enjoy a good hike into the jungle, visit the submarine world with the help of provided snorkel gear, or simply sit back, relax and let the staff pamper you. Rates include meals.
Live the life you love. Imagine beautiful seascapes, lush landscapes, a perfect fishing village, imagine warm sea breezes and azure waters. That is what Villa Amor has to offer to the fortunate few who venture into one of the best-kept secrets along Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Its uniquely designed oceanfront villas offer expansive views of the ocean, beach and bay. Attention to detail is the word when it comes to describing a stay at Villa Amor.
Villa Romance is an elegant oceanfront residence located in Punta Mita. Its verdant color is a gorgeous compliment to the sugar-white sand beach and brilliant blue ocean. It features five spacious, marble-floored bedrooms and wine cellar, complete with chef, concierge, houseman and two maids. Boat captain and masseuse available on request. Be pampered with embroidered bathrobes and luxurious 275 thread count cotton sheets.
