Villa Pura Vida PV 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 PV is the middle unit in the 3 villa structure - one per floor, and as shown has its own private entrance, infinity pool, palapa bar and parking.

To get to the villa guests enter thru a private gate (access codes are provided at check-in). There is a somewhat steep driveway from the gate to the top where the villa is located. Property entrances like this are common for places overlooking the Romantic Zone and Banderas Bay as that's how you get these incredible views. Ubers & taxis are readily plentiful and used to the hills and driveways. At the height of the rainy season (July-Sept), we can recommend experienced drivers who are most skilled at navigating the driveway if wet.

Villa Pura Vida PV 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/Marina 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 thru 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.

Villa Pura Vida PV offers both weekly and monthly discounts for those looking for longer stays. VRBO will display the discounts as part of the overall price for the stay.

There's an extra charge of $50/night for the 7th guest.

Some of the most unique features of Villa Pura Vida PV include:
*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 the Romantic Zone to Los Muertos Beach and to the beginning of Conchas Chinas.
*Newly remodeled large private heated infinity pool with fountain, LED lighting & a separate pool 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 pool is heated during the winter season to 86 degrees (Dec to mid Apr) but it's not needed in the summer.
*Your own palapa bar with refrigerator and sink. This is a great area for breakfast, remote work, happy hour and sunset.
*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 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 PV 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 (8 is possible with 2 additional chairs) 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, love seat and arm chair. The other sitting area has 3 comfy overstuffed leather arm chairs. Both areas have large floor to ceiling glass doors to give you that truly PV indoor/outdoor life style.
*The patio offers several options for seating/enjoyment. There is seating for 4 at the covered palapa bar, seating for another 6-7 on the outdoor furniture and 4 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.

Some additional notes of importance:
We have hosted many families with young children & infants, but it should be noted 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 type 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 type of vehicles will fit in the covered parking area.

Let us know if you have any guests with limited mobility or other concerns as we're happy to recommend some options to help.

Spring Break

We stayed a week at the Villa Pura Vida. The Villa was spectacular! Clean, roomy, well equipped for cooking and relaxing. The pool and outdoor area were perfect for our group! We had an amazing trip! John and Jordy were very attentive to any requests or questions we had. Very well managed and maintained property.

Beautiful property with a fantastic view

This property is a great combination of well apportioned, with great kitchen, bathroom and most certainly pool, with an unbelievable view of PV which is one of the better ones you can find. Jordy, the house manager was a pleasure to connect with, and really made our entire stay seamless. I would highly encourage anyone looking for a relaxing stay to check out the property. One note is that although the property is only a short 15 minute walk down to the Zona Romantica, the driveway is very steep, so people with mobility challenges will want to make sure to have access to Uber or Lyft to get into the city.

Family Time

An amazing property in a great convenient location to enjoy the many fantastic restaurants and sites in PV. The Villa is well appointed. Everything in the Villa functions perfectly. This is rare. The Villa owners are very accommodating. Prior to our visit we requested a few extra lounge chairs which they provided and sent pictures of. We requested a late checkout which they accommodated which was greatly appreciated. John the Villa Owner and Jordy the Villa manager are fantastic with their communication. They also aided us in procuring transportation contacts. All in all a Very 5 Star experience.

The Birthday Trip

This place was perfect in every way. The beautiful views of the bay and Sunsets on the patio by the pool were amazing. This villa is spacious with plenty of room for six adults. We had all the amenities we needed. John and Jordy were very hospitable and did a fantastic job hosting us from start to finish. They were there for us every step of the way. Villa Puro Vida exceeded our expectations. It was a great vacation!!! We will be back.

Just a spectacular place

We stayed at the property for a week. The property is amazing. It is accurately represented in the beautiful pictures. The furniture is comfortable, and the views are awesome. Of course, it is super clean and well appointed with cookware, and what you need for a week-long stay.The house manager, Jordy, is extremely helpful, and very nice. He and the owners helped us arrange transportation for several activities we planned. The house is something else from a construction standpoint. The tile work and round doors/windows/cabinets and custom stainless steel railings are something to behold when you know what kind of craftsmanship goes into making it. If not, it still looks really neat. :) We really enjoyed our stay. A big thank you to the hosts for sharing their place. John and Michele

Pura Vida Bliss

House was stunning with incredible views, comfortable amenities and a very hospitable staff to take care of you. The full kitchen and outdoor grill is fantastic. You should consider this property if you have a larger group but do take note regarding the steep driveway. It truly is a workout and some taxi/ubers will not drive up the hill. The pool is not large but it’s perfect for lounging around and taking in the stunning view of the ocean, amazing sunsets and nightly fireworks. The host was very nice and answered any questions promptly.

What an amazing property & experience!

We loved staying at John's villa! That view is incredible! I've been coming to PV for many years, but I've never stayed in a place with a more spectacular view and that pool and palapa bar area is incredible. We barely left the villa or back patio area. John also recommended an amazing chef - Irwin and our group really enjoyed an incredible night of his food. We also took advantage of having the villa stocked with groceries & beverages when we arrived so we didn't have to take time to shop - only $25 for the shopping trip. The VIP transportation service was also so great and made it super easy to connect with the Concierge who greeted us for check-in and explained everything. We'll definitely be back and stay at Villa Pura Vida again!

PV Friends Getaway

We had stayed at this beautiful property before. Let me start by saying the communication with John was amazing. Every step of the way, he made the process easy. He helped us coordinate transportation from the airport, he also helped us get an amazing chef that made a perfect dinner for us. Also, I have to call out that Jordy is amazing, he purchased all of our food and alcohol and even made us a perfect breakfast! The place is amazing. It has everything you need, three large bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The living area is spacious and the outside area is so relaxing. The view is amazing and the pool, hot tub and bar are perfect! The location is very close to everything and I would recommend this home to anyone looking to have the perfect getaway!

I highly recommend! Exceptional in all aspects.

This villa stole the show on our last minute getaway to PV. If the views and perfect setup for a vacation home weren't enough, the communication, services available, and overall hospitality went beyond expectations. John has a very well oiled machine running between himself and the very helpful concierge service he provides. The villa itself is stunning with the luxurious and unique layout meshing perfectly with the personalized touches of a vacation home. When all added together, there's not a hotel in the world that can compare. PV is a wonderful city and this Villa's views, location, and services will ensure nobody visiting Puerto Vallarta's "Pura Vida" will have anything less than an enjoyable, relaxing, and truly unforgettable trip. I hope to be back very soon and very often.

Pura Vida - THE VEIWS!!

Our first time in PV and lucky enough to book Villa Pura Vida. The photos don’t due the view justice. It’s absolutely stunning. The property is an architectural dream and the infinity pool is fantastic. John the host is very communicative and responds quickly. We took full advantage of the concierge service he offers. The property manager Jordy helped us with pre trip grocery shopping and even cooked an amazing taco lunch for our group (for very reasonable fee) so that we could have a pool day at the villa. It was perfect. We also had a private chef for dinner one night and John’s connected us to a massage therapist that came to the villa for the day. The massages were 5 star!! AND, We were lucky enough to see some whales playing in the ocean while we soaked up the sun from the pool. Amazing! Pay close attention to the steep driveway notices in the listing. John does a great job being open about it and gives you tips and resources for local taxis and Ubers before they accept the ride. Highly recommend Villa Pura Vida and we will stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by John C

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to @VillaPuraVidaPV for your "Pure Life" experience at our villa. Myself and my co-host Michael live in San Diego and often in PV, so we are available for any questions or needs you have during your stay. In addition, we have a Villa Manager who will check you in and support you during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Villa Pura Vida is part of a private, small gated complex. There are only 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 structure, but as shown has its own private entrance & parking.

This is very unique in PV as most of the developments are large hotel-like condos with lots of shared common spaces and small balconies/patios. With Villa Pura Vida, you don't have any shared common spaces so you have the privacy and security you want while still in the heart of PV.

What makes this property unique

Here are the key unique benefits for Villa Pura Vida:
*180 degree views including year round sunset views. Many places in PV have views, but they are 90 degree views so you can't see the sunset many months and don't get the expansive view from 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. Note that pool is heated during the winter season (Nov-Apr) as it's not needed in the summer.
*Your own palapa bar with 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!
*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 main bathroom or just ensuite) and 2 with views. Bedroom #3 faces the jungle.
*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 very light filled. There are two areas in the living room to relax. One by the 75" Smart TV with couch, love seat and arm chair. The other sitting area has 3 comfy 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 also a BBQ on the patio to enjoy as well.
