There’s plenty to do in Puerto Vallarta for all kinds of travelers and lots of incredible places to set up camp while you’re exploring the area. From the luxury Airbnbs perched on the clifftops overlooking the sea to the budget-friendly apartments with rustic roof terraces, read on for all of our favorite Airbnbs in Puerto Vallarta.
Magnificent Casa Velas
Five bedrooms, 13 guests and an entire resort’s worth of amenities means checking into the magnificent Casa Velas is always a great idea. This luxury Airbnb comes with an open plan design, which means half of your group can laze in the pool while the other half relax in the living room and keep a conversation going the whole time. If the huge pool wasn’t enough, there’s also the fact that this incredible Airbnb looks out over the ocean. A backdrop of gentle waves accompanies the beating sunshine every single day here. Just minutes away from downtown, the views of the bay are spectacular and easy to access on foot. There’s plenty of space both inside and outside here, with a large dining table and bar-style stools if you’re looking to enjoy an al fresco dinner together, as well as beautifully decorated bedrooms and bathrooms.
Stunning Private Villa in Marina for Groups
Nature well and truly shows off at this luxury Airbnb, with stunning sunsets best viewed from the balconies appearing from each bedroom. This spacious villa has room for up to 16 guests in total, spread throughout eight bedrooms and plenty more communal space on every level of the property. A place for those with a love of design, it’s kept its original architectural design and promises a beautiful setting for family holidays or even weddings. As well as all of the typical features of an Airbnb, this one includes a few seriously special extras: a yoga class in the garden, a BBQ by the pool, the chance to do some stargazing at the rooftop terrace, enjoy dinner under the stars at the super-large terrace or even throw a cocktail party in the outside lounge. Better yet, it’s all surrounded by beautiful garden views.
Exclusive Loft in Romantic Zone
There are lofts in Puerto Vallarta and then there are Lofts: huge, spacious apartments taking up the entirety of the top floor with dazzling views over the sea and surrounding areas. This romantic loft is definitely the latter, a place with a wrap-around swimming pool and all of the luxury amenities you could desire. With space for up to six guests across three bedrooms, there’s plenty of room here for all kinds of Mexican adventures. The sunset and sunrise views from either side of this spot promise a magical start and end to your days here, with lots of options for passing the time in between. Located less than three minutes from the beach, you’ll spend your time here mostly swimming or relaxing, before heading back to the apartment to cook up a feast for dinner. This apartment is based in a great location in the Romantic Zone, just one block away from Beach Los Muertos Pier and surrounded by awesome restaurants.
Heated Pool, Chef, Barman & Full Staff
Perched high in the mountains and just five minutes from Garza Blanca beach, you won’t find many Airbnbs more impressive than this one. More of a mansion than just a simple property, it has room for up to 30 guests in total, making it perfect for larger occasions when you’re looking to get a big group together. Kitted out with everything you could possibly need – and lots more – it’s designed to make you feel like a celebrity during your time in Puerto Vallarta. You’ll wake up every morning to the breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the lush green mountains, before making your way downstairs for breakfast via the private chef. Every room here features air-conditioning, a king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony or terrace. There are also two bunkrooms each with three full-size beds. You’ll have the entire villa to yourself as well as access to the exquisite semi-private Garza Blanca Beach, located only five minutes away.
Puerto Vallarta Beachfront with 10 Rooms
You’ll probably find yourself doing a double-take when you first arrive at this luxury villa, as it looks far more like a hotel than just an Airbnb. But, when you take into account its 10 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and 19 beds in total, you realize that it pretty much is a hotel, designed to be rented out privately and enjoyed by your closest friends and family. Sat right on the edge of a cliff, you’ll hear the waves and watch them break whenever you gaze out the windows here. With plenty of room inside the property and outside on the terraces, you’ll want to check in for at least a few nights here to fully maximize everything this place offers. Some of those features include multiple balconies overlooking the sea, a large dining room, a marble jacuzzi on the terrace and a big swimming pool with its own sunbeds.
15 Bedroom Villa For +30 Guests
This 15 bedroom villa spans multiple floors, all jutting out over the side of a cliff with the ocean’s crashing waves down below. One of the largest properties in the area, it’s got room for up to 30 guests, making it suitable for large group vacations but also weddings or other special events. This beachfront villa is extra special in that it’s not off-limits to smaller groups, who can book the place for a lower cost, where some of the unused rooms will remain locked. But the rest of the property is entirely yours, from the huge bedrooms decorated with traditional interiors, to the deep blue swimming pool overlooking the ocean and the semi-outdoor living room and kitchen. Floor to ceiling glass windows look out at the views all around and you’re never too far away from dipping your toes in the water. If you’re looking for a seriously luxe occasion, you can pay extra for meals or catering.
