Luxury 3BR Ocean-View Penthouse with Heated Pool - Walk to Beaches & Nightlife
The Penthouse at Villa Amistad — A Luxury Ocean-View Sanctuary Above Puerto Vallarta
Welcome to The Penthouse, the crown jewel of Villa Amistad — a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bath sanctuary perched on the top floor of our historic Cerro/Centro villa. With sweeping ocean views, two expansive private balconies, and breezy indoor–outdoor living spaces, this beautifully designed retreat combines authentic Mexican character with boutique-level comfort. Perfect for families or friends, it’s an unforgettable home base just steps from beaches, galleries, restaurants, and nightlife.
Here, mornings begin with sunrise coffee overlooking Banderas Bay and evenings end with cocktails on the terrace as fireworks light up the sky. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors frame the panoramic views and invite cool coastal breezes, while warm design touches — from handcrafted Parota wood furniture to curated local art — infuse the space with a sense of place.
Three spacious bedrooms, each with king beds, pillow-top mattresses, luxury Percale cotton linens, and spa-style en-suite bathrooms, offer comfort and privacy for every guest. A fully equipped kitchen with professional-grade cookware makes it easy to share meals, while multiple lounging and dining areas — both indoors and out — provide plenty of room to gather and relax together.
Whether you’re sharing sunset dinners with friends, watching whales in the winter months, or simply savoring the peace of a private top-floor escape, The Penthouse is designed to make every moment special.
