For a family or a group of friends, a private villa is often the best way to experience Punta de Mita — more space, more privacy, and more of the trip spent together than a cluster of hotel rooms could ever offer. Here is what to know before you plan one.
Why a private villa
A villa gives you the whole house and grounds to yourselves: your own pool, your own stretch of beach, kitchens and living rooms where everyone gathers, and no lobbies or crowds to navigate. For multigenerational trips, milestone celebrations, or simply a group that wants to be together, it turns a vacation into something closer to living somewhere beautiful for a week. On a per-person basis, a shared villa often compares favorably to booking several premium hotel rooms — especially once meals and service are included.
What “fully staffed” means
The phrase does a lot of quiet work. At a fully staffed villa like ours, the day is handled for you:
- A private chef who cooks breakfast and lunch daily, tuned to your family, with dinners available on request — from casual family-style to a multi-course tasting.
- Daily housekeeping and laundry, with rooms turned by mid-morning.
- A resident host-concierge who arranges airport transfers, grocery provisioning before you arrive, restaurant reservations, and any activity you’d like — charters, tee times, island trips, in-villa spa.
The result is a stay where you never lift a finger unless you want to — and where the details are anticipated rather than requested.
How direct booking works
Booking direct with the owner is simpler than it sounds, and it means a real person — not a platform — on the other end. The flow is straightforward:
- Inquire with your dates and group size through the website, by email, or on WhatsApp.
- Get a proposal — we confirm availability and send full rates, deposit terms, and a tailored plan, usually within twenty-four hours.
- Reserve with a deposit to hold your dates; the balance is due before arrival.
- Arrive to a stocked, staffed home with your transfers already arranged.
Because there is no booking platform in the middle, you speak directly with the people who know the house best.
Choosing your dates
The dry season, roughly November through April, brings the finest weather — and the most demand, so the best weeks book far ahead. Whale season (December–March) adds humpbacks to the view. Summer and early fall are greener, quieter, and better value. A few planning notes:
- Holiday weeks — Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year — require a seven-night minimum and book earliest of all.
- Outside the holidays, shorter stays and off-peak windows can often be arranged.
- For the biggest celebrations, twelve to eighteen months’ lead time is not unusual.
You can review the full seasonal rate card and check current availability anytime.
Who it’s for
A staffed oceanfront villa suits a range of trips: a family holiday across generations, a milestone birthday or anniversary, a wedding or event, a corporate retreat, or a group of friends who simply want the run of a beautiful house on the water. With five suites, our villa comfortably sleeps up to ten.
Getting there & settling in
Fly into Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR) — about forty minutes away — and your transfer meets you there. Provisioning is done before you arrive, so the fridge is stocked and the first meal is ready when you walk in. From that point on, the concierge handles the logistics and you handle the relaxing.
