A magnificent six-bedroom villa overlooking the postcard-perfect Bay of Banderas, La Vida benefits from an unbeatable location on the very tip of the Punta Mita peninsula. Part of the prestigious and exclusive Punta Mita community, its proximity to the breathtaking coastline, high-end culinary experiences and world-class golf courses make it a popular choice amongst friends and families who want to escape to a Mexican beach holiday.

Though the white sand beaches and spectacular turquoise waters are undoubtedly one of the region’s biggest attractions, there is much to see and do on dry land. Guests can access the nearby Sufi Ocean Club, Pacifico Beach Club and Kupuri Beach Club, while the Four Seasons and St. Regis estates are also within easy reach and boast several fantastic restaurants. The sizable tennis centre includes five hard courts and five synthetic grass courts, and the fitness centre contains all the equipment you need for a workout. Vibrant Puerto Vallarta is just under an hour’s drive to the east, and the must-see natural beauty of Islas Marietas National Park is a short boat ride away.

La Vida takes inspiration from the Spanish-Colonial architectural style and is spread over two levels, providing guests with ample space. An opulent, open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining space greets guests upon entry and opens onto the terrace. Sofa seating surrounds the widescreen TV, a large dining table invites sociable mealtimes and a fully-equipped kitchen, complete with a personal chef, treats you to a delicious dining experience throughout your stay.

La Vida’s communal spaces are spectacular, with high ceilings, contemporary decor, and elegant furnishings. Three of the six bedrooms reside on the ground floor, including a master suite with a king-size bed, a guest room with two queen-size beds and a second guest room with a king-size bed. A smaller ‘casita’ near the villa entrance features a king-size bed. Two guest bedrooms can be found on the upper level: each featuring a king-size bed and one of which has an additional twin trundle that makes it well-suited to families. All rooms include a gorgeous ensuite, with indulgent bathtubs fitted in all but the ‘casita’ bedroom. Many bedrooms open onto the terrace or benefit from access to private balconies.

A covered terrace section transitions into an open terrace, where guests will find sun loungers, shades and a roofless pagoda with an al fresco dining table – an ideal place to savour starlit evening feasts. The striking swimming pool extends the length of the villa, and beyond that, a grassy garden offers children a place to burn off energy. Stone steps at the bottom of the garden lead down to the beach. With an awe-inspiring location, first-rate amenities and endless charm, La Vida is a beautiful choice for multigenerational getaways and trips with families and friends.
