Location, Access & Comfort:

Villa Pura Vida is part of a private, small gated complex. There are 2 free-standing 5 bedroom homes in the complex as well as 3 villas which share one structure. Villa Pura Vida is the middle unit in the 3 villa structure – one per floor, and as shown has its own private entrance & parking – no shared or common spaces.

To get to the villa guests enter through a private gate (clickers are provided at check-in). There is a somewhat steep driveway from the gate to the top where the villa is. Property entrances like this are common for places overlooking the City and Bay of PV as that’s how you get these incredible views. Ubers & taxis are readily plentiful and used to the hills.  At the height of the rainy season (July-Sept), we can recommend drivers with 4 wheel drive vehicles to help navigate the driveway.

Villa Pura Vida sits above Los Muertos Beach, Almar Resort, Mantamar Beach Club and Blue Chairs and features amazing nightly sunsets and many firework shows.  The view is breathtaking and you can see across to Punta Mita to Sayulita to Nuevo Vallarta to the Romantic Zone all the way to the beginning of Conchas Chinas.  It’s truly one of the best and most expansive views in PV.

The villa is fully air conditioned and features 7 split AC units with one in each bedroom and 4 others located throughout the main living area.  There are also ceiling fans in each bedroom and additional ceiling fans throughout the villa living spaces.  There is a wonderful cross breeze which runs through the villa as the large double front door & all of the large glass doors on the side and patio area can be opened to enjoy the breeze.

Unique Features:

*180 degree views including year round sunset views.  Many places in PV have views, but they are dead ahead or 90 degree views so you can’t see the sunset many months and don’t get the unobstructed expansive view you see from Villa Pura Vida of Punta Mita all the way to Zona Romantica to Los Muertos Beach and to the beginning of Conchas Chinas.

*Large private heated pool with a separate sitting area to take in the views. Some places in PV only have ”splash or community” pools. Here you get your own exclusive private pool. Note that the pool is heated during the winter season to 86 degrees (Nov to Apr) but it’s not needed in the summer.

*Your own palapa bar with a refrigerator and sink.  This is a great area for breakfast, remote work, happy hour and sunset.

*A Villa Manager who can cook, clean and shop so you can just relax and enjoy your vacation.  Many places in PV provide these services as well, but all at a fee and at different levels of service.  Having one fully trained Villa Manager to trust and support you during your stay is perfect.

*Being in a small, private gated complex.  This is very unique in PV as most of the developments are large hotel-like condos with lots of shared common spaces, competition for pool chairs, crowds and small balconies/patios.

*A very large space – both indoors and outdoors.  Most 3 BR places in PV have a ”flexible” 3rd bedroom with a thin wall and smaller beds that’s part of a living room.  Villa Pura Vida offers 3 large King bedrooms, all ensuite (#3 bathroom can be used as the main bathroom or just ensuite) and 2 with views.  Bedroom #3 faces the jungle. There is also an air mattress for a 7th guest.

*At 4,700 sq ft of indoor/outdoor living space, Villa Pura Vida is definitely one of the largest of its kind in PV.  The kitchen is quite large and open with an island and pantry with washer & dryer.  The dining room has seating for 6 with great views and is light filled.  There are two areas in the living room to relax.  One by the 75” Smart TV with couch, loveseat and armchair.  The other sitting area has 3 comfy overstuffed leather arm chairs.  Both areas have large floor to ceiling glass doors which swing in and out to give you that truly PV indoor/outdoor feel.

*The patio offers several options for seating/enjoyment.  There is seating for 4 at the covered palapa bar, seating for another 4-5 on the outdoor furniture and 2 lounge chairs by the pool.  There’s also a huge umbrella which can shade portions of the pool, seating area or add additional privacy where needed.

*There’s a BBQ on the patio to enjoy as well.

Important Notes:

The property is available for families, infants & children, but it should be noted that although there are secure railings around the patio and main bedroom, there are large gaps between the railings so caution is required. The pool is not gated, but only has a few steps up to enter/exit so caution is required. See pictures for more details.

For those with mobility challenges, the villa is on one level and the main bedroom and bathroom are quite large and spacious and the bathroom offers a large walk-in shower.  The ”Alexis” bathroom also has a walk-in shower, although smaller in size.

Large tourist vans and Sprinter vans will not fit under the covered driveway area so folks with mobility issues using these types of van services will need to walk up/down or be wheel chaired up/down a short (15-20 feet) cobblestone paved area to reach the villa.  Suburban types of vehicles will fit in the covered parking area.
