Just south of Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone in the hills overlooking the gorgeous Pacific Ocean lies a complex of buildings that form five separate-but-connected apartments. When you rent all of them for a wedding or other event, you can house 24+ guests in 12 bedrooms and as a bonus you get not one but THREE swimming pools and multiple gorgeous venues in which to plan your various wedding activities. And the views are just stupendous everywhere you look!
This house is not well known in the local area because it is managed independently and rented by separate apartments; therefore it doesn’t show up as a private villa and thus isn’t represented by the various property-management companies. We discovered it through a thorough search of real estate and web listings and are hoping to keep it a deep dark secret, except with our CLIENTS!
One of the huge advantages of this property is that, while it has a three-night minimum rental for events of the entire property, it’s possible to rent one or just a few of the apartments on the nights before or after your main event, meaning that some of the guests staying there for your wedding can extend their stays with no problem just like at a hotel—something typically problematic at most private villas.
Each apartment has its own individual style yet all retain a special very Mexican flavor. Each apartment has its own kitchen facilities, and although the house doesn’t normally offer chef services like private villas, we can provide them easily and cheaply during your stay. The apartments are all interconnected, so your guests can both maintain their own privacy and commingle with no effort at all.
The best advantage of this complex is the uppermost apartment, only available for rental with the entire property because it’s the owner’s suite. And sweet it is. Photos and video seriously do not do this place justice. The swimming pool was designed to run from inside to outside, and forms the main feature of the living and dining room area. One of the two bedrooms even overlooks this architectural masterpiece! It is truly a stunning space and makes the perfect venue for an LGBT destination wedding for up to 75 guests.
The two other swimming pools and terraces offer perfect alternatives for your ceremony, and one of the larger villas offers vaulted ceilings which we consider the perfect place for your banquet. Views for days will enchant your guests—hopefully they’ll be able to pay attention as you take your vows because there’ll definitely be some distractions!!

AIR: This area of Mexico is served by Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). It maintains good air connectivity with all major cities in the western U.S. and Canada, and major hubs throughout the countries. Check this recent blog article about nonstop flights to Puerto Vallarta in the low season summer months from major U.S. and Canadian hubs.
LAND: This apartment complex lies just south of downtown Puerto Vallarta and approximately six miles south of the PVR airport in the Amapas/Upper Conchas Chinas neighborhood. It is easily walkable down to either the Conchas Chinas beach or the gay-famed Playa Los Muertos, but most guests typically take a taxi back home because of the hill involved. There are two private parking spaces made available for guests and a lot available on the street. Taxi or shuttle service from the airport is easily arrangeable.
OTHER LODGING NEARBY: There are a couple of other private villas located nearby within walking distance, and numerous AirBNB rental apartments as well. Any nearby boutique hotels are approximately 10-15 minutes walk or within fewer than 5 minutes by taxi.
EVENT and RENTAL OPTIONS: The entire property (12 bedrooms) rents out at $2500 US dollars per night in high season and $1750 in low season, with a three-night minimum rental for events. Four of the five apartments can be rented individually before and after this main rental to accommodate individual guests’ wishes to either arrive early or stay on afterwards. An event fee of $500 US dollars is charged for events from two to 25 guests; $1000 for 26-50 guests, and $1500 for 51-75 guests. Due to space limitations, this property can’t accommodate more than 75 guests for an event.
