Stay & Play

Five hotels, five styles for enjoying Puerto Vallarta, full of fun, food and tropical nature

 

Villa Premiere Hotel & Spa

At Villa Premiere Hotel & Spa you start your visit with a five-minute “anti-stress” massage. Welcome, you have arrived at a resort where your comfort is Job 1 for the constantly cheerful staff.

Pick from among 83 rooms and oceanfront suites and savor delightful decadence – excellent food and drink, mesmerizing views and luxury, luxury, luxury.

Location, too. The Villa Premiere is within easy walking distance of the heart of historic Puerto Vallarta, yet far enough away to escape the noise.
Simply settle onto your large balcony, which provides magnificent views of the pools, the beach and captivating architecture.

The Honeymoon Suite will make your visit extra memorable: a terrace, an outdoor Jacuzzi and a stress-draining hammock.

You will wet your lips at the all-inclusive option; three gourmet restaurants offer distinctly different menus—everything from fine Mexican cuisine to international flavors. The package includes top-shelf beverages, 100-percent vegetarian meals if you wish, 24-hour room service and the in-room mini-bar.
Still stumped? Ask the executive chef to prepare something special just for you. It’s all part of the perks that show why Villa Premiere wins so many repeat visitors.

You needn’t feel lazy. Take a yoga class on the beach, swim up to the bar at one of the resort’s pools, or stroll “el Malecón,” a delightful way to experience downtown Vallarta and its one-of-a-kind shops.

Then again, you may never leave your spacious, well-appointed room. All rooms and suites have balconies and overlook the ocean. Put your feet up and let your mind luxuriate in comfort. Your only decisions will be what to eat and drink, which of five pillow styles you prefer, and what scent you favor for in-room aromatherapy. And there’s wireless Internet, so you can tell folks back home that you’re alive and well and never returning to “the real world.”

Luna Líquida

Don’t be fooled by the unassuming front of the Luna Líquida Hotel.

Inside is where you want to be, relaxing in the courtyard, marveling at stunning views from the rooftop pool and lounge, or admiring the artistic designs that grace the 14 suites spread among five villas.
Each suite has its own décor, a mix of Mexican, Latin American and international pieces. The private balconies overlook either the interior gardens or the Pacific Ocean. You might even spot whales in the distance.

The views are made still more impressive because the boutique hotel is high on a hill. Yet it’s in a residential neighborhood, a short walk from the beach and downtown, giving you access to solitude or activity, depending on your mood.

Luna Líquida encourages the unconnected life, a relaxing interlude without television or other electronic distractions in your suite. Its emphasis is on enjoying the hotel and Puerto Vallarta.

Its staff gets rave reviews for being accommodating, and the hotel will assign you a personal “Ambassador of Experiences” to line up extraordinary outings, mouth-watering meals and other memorable activities.

Nemi Eco Villa

Where can you enjoy luxury while being environmentally responsible and experiencing a unique setting?

The eye-catching Nemi Eco Villa, which offers stunning views of both ocean and jungle from each unit, is built from repurposed, sustainable or local materials.

Its six individual bedroom pods, crafted from repurposed shipping containers, all run on solar power. Decks include individual natural dipping pools, gravity fed showers, locally woven hammocks – yet the rooms have air-conditioning, flat screen television and Wi-Fi should you need modern amenities.

The main level revolves around a 40-foot natural swimming pool that contains no chemicals. Plant life, sand, UV filters and a waterfall naturally clean the pool and let you enjoy a delightfully refreshing swim.

Here’s another nice touch that make Nemi Eco Villa an ideal site for a gathering of friends and family: The owners, American expatriates, rent only to groups, preferably all six rooms at one time. You and your pals can have your own village that blends comfort with spectacular scenery and forward-thinking architecture.

Hotel Mousai

The standard length of stay at Hotel Mousai is four to 10 days. It will take you at least that long to bask in all the opulence and beauty of this high-tech architectural wonder.

If possible, stay at one of the Ultra Mousai Suites on the top floors. Their private terraces have ocean vistas, gold-tiled jetted plunge pools and private Jacuzzis.

But wherever your suite, venture upstairs to Hotel Mousai’s rooftop, where the bar and infinity pool give you a 360-degree view of water, wooded hills and Puerto Vallarta.

Bring your appetite; the gourmet five-course meals include tastings – wine, sake or tequila – and many other delights as part of an all-inclusive package.

From the splendid lobby to the world-class spa and fitness center, Mousai pampers you with awesome service.

Lobster tacos, anyone? Perhaps an afternoon nap in your balcony hammock built for two? How about a couples’ massage while overlooking the rolling Pacific? Or remarkably smooth cocktails to sip while you people-watch at the rooftop beach club?

Hyatt Ziva
