Explore the Best of Mismaloya & Puerto Vallarta
Casa Kalista offers the ideal balance of seclusion and convenience. The famous Mismaloya beach and resort are approximately a 15-minute walk away down a traditional cobblestone road, while downtown Puerto Vallarta is just 20 minutes by car or bus.
Casa Kalista is a unique, open-air tropical villa nestled into the Sierra Madre hillside. The surrounding jungle is part of what makes the experience so special—and guests should expect an authentic connection with nature.
Because of the villa’s hillside location, there are stairs throughout the property, and Casa Kalista is not suitable for guests who have difficulty navigating stairs or for wheelchairs or strollers.
Several areas of the home are designed with an open-air concept, allowing you to experience the sights and sounds of the surrounding jungle. The villa is not a sealed, traditional hotel-style property, so occasional you will be close with nature! Our staff takes appropriate measures to help keep the home comfortable and secure, but guests who prefer a completely enclosed environment may be more comfortable in a conventional resort or hotel. The bedrooms have air conditioners and sliding doors that can be closed.
The road to Mismaloya Beach is steep and cobblestone. While the beach is close by, for guests with young children or mobility concerns we recommend driving rather than walking. Cabs are readily available.
From the villa, you can easily enjoy the region's incredible range of activities and attractions, including:
Swimming, snorkeling, and water sports Sport fishing and boat excursions Surfing and parasailing Jungle adventures and outdoor exploration Horseback riding Golf Shopping, restaurants, and Puerto Vallarta's vibrant nightlife
After a day of adventure, return to the peace and privacy of Casa Kalista. Take a dip in the heated infinity pool, relax in the Jacuzzi, or enjoy a delicious chef-prepared dinner as the sun disappears behind the bay.
Your Unforgettable Mexican Getaway
Whether you're planning a family celebration, a special gathering with friends, or simply a luxurious escape to the Mexican Pacific, Casa Kalista offers an extraordinary setting for making lasting memories.

Amazing staff! Took such great care of us. Internet not so great (so don’t plan to work)… that’s supposed to be a good thing. :-)

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and, especially, that our amazing staff took such great care of you. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team.
And we couldn’t agree more about the internet—you came to Casa Kalista to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings! 😊 That said, we’ve recently upgraded our internet service, so guests can now stay connected when they need to.
We hope to welcome you back to Mismaloya and Casa Kalista again soon!
The home was enough space for our family!!The view was beautiful and Alan the house manager and mirabel the chef were just outstanding!! Alan was helpful in every way and the food, 3 meals a day, that mirabel served us was 5 star!!The home is NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR THOSE THAT HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH STAIRS! There were large spiders in rooms and behind cushions on couches so we couldn’t sit on them! Chandelier over dining room table looked like it would fall at any moment!Two of the five bedrooms did not have doors to that could shut, think tree house! Every night the monkeys would invade the open air house and made their way into the bedrooms! It was not okay but not sure how to solve the problem!The beach is a five minute drive not a 2 minute walk! The road to the beach was steep and cobblestones! Again not accessible even by stroller! Lastly, each bedroom would have more room for personal items if they put away all the statues and collectibles! We rent from VRBO often and the description of the home should be more clear!

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear that your family enjoyed the beautiful views, the spaciousness of Casa Kalista, and especially the care provided by Alan and Mirabel. We will be sure to share your kind words with them—they will be delighted to hear them.
We’re sorry that some aspects of the villa did not meet your expectations. As shown in the many photos, Casa Kalista is a tropical, open-air villa built into the hillside of Mismaloya, and its design is intentionally very connected to the surrounding jungle. As a result, there are stairs throughout the property, some rooms have an open-air/treehouse-style design, and it is possible to encounter the occasional tropical insect or visit from the local wildlife that live in the surrounding jungle. We understand that this style of property is not ideal for every guest, and we are continuing to look at ways to make these features clearer in the listing so guests can determine whether Casa Kalista is the right fit for them.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the furnishings, chandelier, and storage space. We take the comfort of our guests seriously and will review these items with our house manager.
We do want to clarify one point regarding the location. The Mismaloya beach area is nearby, but the route from the villa involves a cobblestone road, and we agree that it is not appropriate to describe the beach as an easy walk or as stroller-accessible. It is noted that the beach is a 15-minute walk from the villa. We will make the transportation and accessibility information in our listing more explicit.
We’re pleased that, despite these concerns, your family enjoyed the villa, the views, and the exceptional service from Alan and Mirabel. Thank you again for helping us identify where we can make the guest experience and our listing clearer for future visitors.
