Experience Villa Las Peñas
Imagine waking up to the sound of the Pacific Ocean, stepping onto your private terrace with a cup of coffee, and looking out over the sparkling water toward the famous Los Arcos rock formations. Then imagine having a wonderful breakfast prepared for you while you decide whether your day will be filled with adventure, relaxation—or a little of both.
Welcome to Villa Las Peñas.
Our beautiful oceanfront villa is designed for families and groups who want more than simply a place to stay. With more than 6,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space, a stunning heated infinity pool, spacious terraces, spectacular ocean views, and a wonderful staff dedicated to making your vacation special, Villa Las Peñas offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, luxury, and authentic Puerto Vallarta hospitality.
A Villa Designed for Family and Friends
Villa Las Peñas comfortably accommodates up to 8 adults, making it ideal for families, couples traveling together, milestone celebrations, or friends looking for a memorable getaway.
The bedrooms can be arranged to meet your group's needs:
Three king bedrooms and one queen bedroom One king bedroom can be converted to two twin beds Two beautifully appointed master suites Comfortable shared spaces where everyone can gather, relax, dine, and enjoy the incredible views
The villa is spacious enough to give everyone room to spread out while still providing inviting areas where you can come together.
And perhaps best of all, you don't have to worry about the everyday details.
Your Own Personal Vacation Staff
One of the things that makes Villa Las Peñas so special is our wonderful staff.
Your nightly rental includes a cook, houseman, and daily housekeeper, allowing you to truly relax and enjoy your vacation.
Your cook can prepare up to three meals a day, whether you want a leisurely breakfast before heading out for the day, a casual lunch by the pool, or a delicious dinner enjoyed together while watching the sunset.
Meals can be tailored to your preferences and dietary needs. Your cook will shop for the food, prepare your meals, and provide the grocery receipts so you can simply enjoy the experience.
You are not renting a house and then having to figure everything out yourself.
You are coming on vacation. Let us help you enjoy it.
The Ocean Is Just Steps Away
Villa Las Peñas is located in the beautiful Mismaloya area, with Mismaloya Beach within walking distance.
Mismaloya is famous for its beautiful setting, clear Pacific waters, lush surrounding mountains, and its connection to the history of Puerto Vallarta. It is a wonderful place to spend a relaxed afternoon enjoying the beach, food, drinks, and the warm Mexican sunshine.
Don't feel like walking? A taxi ride is only about $8, making it incredibly easy to head down to the beach whenever you wish.
And there is so much more to do once you get there.
Explore Los Arcos and the Pacific Coast
One of the most spectacular features of the villa is the view of Los Arcos, the iconic rock formations located just offshore.
From Mismaloya, you can arrange a small boat or jet ski excursion to explore this beautiful area. You can snorkel, feed the colorful fish, explore hidden coves, or visit beaches that can only be reached by boat.
Whether you want an exciting day on the water or simply want to float in the warm Pacific and enjoy the scenery, the possibilities are endless.
Adventure Is as Easy as Asking
Want to make your vacation more adventurous?
Just ask our staff.
They can help arrange a variety of activities and excursions, including:
Zip-lining through the jungle Deep-sea and sport fishing Whale watching when in season Horseback riding Snorkeling Boat excursions Beach adventures Exploring the surrounding area And much more
Our goal is to make arranging your activities easy so you can spend your vacation enjoying them rather than researching and organizing every detail yourself.
Or Maybe Your Perfect Day Is Doing Absolutely Nothing
And that is perfectly fine, too.
There is no schedule at Villa Las Peñas unless you want one.
Spend the morning enjoying breakfast on the terrace. Take a refreshing swim in the heated infinity pool. Read a book while listening to the waves. Enjoy lunch without ever leaving the villa. Take an afternoon nap. Have a drink and watch the sun begin to disappear over the Pacific.
Sometimes the most luxurious vacation is the one where you have nowhere you need to be.
Treat Yourself to a Massage
Ready to completely unwind?
You can enjoy a massage on Mismaloya Beach, or, if you prefer the privacy of the villa, our staff can arrange for a massage therapist to come directly to Villa Las Peñas.
Imagine a relaxing massage while listening to the ocean and feeling the warm Puerto Vallarta breeze.
That is vacation.
Make Your Celebration Extraordinary
Celebrating a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, family milestone, or simply the fact that everyone finally managed to get together?
Let us know.
We love helping make special occasions even more memorable.
Imagine returning to the villa after a day of exploring to find the pool surrounded by soft candlelight, beautiful flowers or petals on the table, and a special dinner prepared just for your group.
Whether you are celebrating something important—or simply want to create a beautiful evening together—we are happy to help make it special.
More Than a Vacation Rental
Villa Las Peñas isn't simply a beautiful house overlooking the ocean.
It is a place where families reconnect.
Where friends laugh together around the pool.
Where meals become memories.
Where you can wake up without an alarm, spend the day exploring the Pacific, and return home to a beautifully prepared dinner.
It is a place where you can be as adventurous—or as relaxed—as you want.
Come for the ocean views. Stay for the experience. Leave with memories that last a lifetime.

This house is incredible! From the rooms, to the pool, to the waterfront location, everything was perfect. What truly makes this an exceptional place to stay is the staff. From the moment we walked in the door Marco, Luis and Suzy made us feel welcome and relaxed. They were kind and very accommodating. I can’t recommend this house enough!
Everything about this vacation was amazing! From the beautiful home that was both large and cozy, the super responsive host Linda prior to our stay, to the attentive Marcos who made us feel pampered and well cared for, to the always smiling and wonderful Jessy who kept the home sparkling clean to the unbelievable meals prepared by chef Manuel! It was all heavenly. I don’t usually return to vacation homes, but I know without a doubt I’ll be back at this one. Oh and we saw whales every day but twice during our 12 night stay.Thank you to the entire staff for a wonderful, relaxing and perfect end of year vacation for our family. See you again soon!
Happiest of fam times in a beautiful setting. Fantastic host and 11/10 to staff, Marco and Luis, Laura (oh the food! ) and Jess for all our housekeeping needs. Only suggestion… some screen protection for infinity pool edge and maybe a carpet in living room for tiny crawling knees. But small beer for such a wonderful, dreamy escape. Hard to leave. Just glorious!
Great house and superb staff, this house is gorgeous and very private. You will not want to leave this house as the staff is super accommodating. Do yourself a favor and book this place.

Thank you Mr. Lee. We loved working with you and having you stay at Villa Las Penas. Come back soon!!
This was such an amazing Villa with a stunning view of Los Arcos! The villa was immaculate! The staff was amazing! This place is worth every penny. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
We had such an amazing time here, these pictures do not do the house justice it is 100x more beautiful in person you’ve got to see it. The staff was 5 stars and really helped us in the house and with questions when we wanted to leave the house like places to go and how to get there (-:
We had a blast. Property was so beautiful, property manager was super easy to communicate/ask questions and prepare, and the staff upon arrival and the entire week was amazing! Can’t wait for next time!!
This house and the view does not disappoint - and the staff are outstanding! We had food and drinks waiting for us when we arrived. Marco took great care of us, Luis arranged activities and transportation, and Laura's cooking was incredible! Can't wait to go back!
Second time at this property with different friends, and looking forward to more trips! Staff is the best and the sunsets are beyond words. Easy walk to Mismaloya for fun boat excursions, if you can stand to leave the warm pool, beautiful views, great food and drinks. Counting on coming back!

Thanks Kathleen, the staff and I love having you and your guests at the villa. We look forward to next time!!
I love this place. The staff is amazing!!! Marcos is the best! We enjoyed our time at the property and around the local area. It was wonderful to wake in the morning and watch the whales while having a delicious breakfast overlooking the ocean. We will definitely be back!

Thank you, we are so happy you had a wonderful time!! That is what Villa Las Penas is know for.
Villa Las Penas is a gorgeous property. Beautifully perched above the ocean and very well maintained. The staff is first class. Luis, Marco, Laura and Yesenia went above and beyond our expectations from anything we wanted to eat or drink to booking excursions for us. This property will not disappoint. We look forward to visiting this Villa again.
We are always skeptical of reviews where all you hear is 5 stars and no problems. Well, Villa Las Penas is a 6 or a five star scale. The place is beautiful, the locations is spectacular, and the staff are the very best. We could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our stay and will definitely be there again.
It was a wonderful experience!!! We loved it!!! The staff are amazing. Beautiful house and location! Food was delicious and home always clean. I would recommend to anyone. We would come back again!!!!
The property was beautiful and the view of Los Arcos was breathtaking from the pool! The house staff were amazing and we never went without anything we needed. The host of the property answered any questions before and during the trip. I 100% plan on traveling to Villas Las Penas again!
The Villa is lovely, spacious, and comfortable. The staff is great. The views are spectacular. Enjoyed being in view of Los Arcos and watching all the activity from poolside. A great home base to return to after exploring PV and surrounding area. Tip: bring cash; staff and many other vendors do not accept debit cards or e-payment.

Thank you for the great review. After your experience I will definitely put that in my information for future guests about the cash. Thank you and we enjoyed having you.
The photos don't do this place justice -- when you walk in the impression is "wow."
Great staff -- helpful, friendly, attentive, .. couldn't be better.
Pools is quite large enough for adults and kids, also actually a hot tub for those summer nights.
AC, in case you need it.
Super, overall.
We fell in love with this property! Fell asleep to the waves crashing against the rocks every night. Saw wales right off the shore most days. Staff was incredibly helpful and made us feel like royalty. Was about 20 minutes from town by Uber, but that had positives as well as negatives. :-) House was beautiful and super spacious.
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Las Peña’s. It was my family of 8 adults and my 3 year old son. It was so nice to be able to put my son to bed and come join the family for a couple drinks in the evening. Such beautiful views from every room! Amazing staff who took such great care of us. Would highly recommend this place!! :)
As soon as you enter the home you realise you are somewhere special. The photos really don’t do it justice. The location and view are really unsurpassed. We felt instantly comfortable there. The staff are absolutely wonderful - gentle souls who made our trip so relaxing and comfortable. It was such a treat to be so well looked after. We would definitely return to this fabulous home.

About the host
Hosted by Linda Porter
My husband and I love to travel. We have been married 37 years with 3 beautiful children and three grandchildren. After 23 years I sold my dance studio and wanted to be able to have a villa that I could share with people like yourself.
Why they chose this property
The best reason to choose this property is because of the destination feeling that you get with the bright Mexican colored decor and the location overlooking the ocean. If you are there in high season (winter) you have whales, dolphins and turtles that can be watched directly from the patio. If you visit in the low season (summer) you will have breathtaking sunsets.
The best reason of all has to be said that the staff is the best in Puerto Vallarta. Luis manages the home and makes sure that all your needs are met. Marcos the houseman, will make sure that you have all the food and drinks you want before you even knew you wanted them. The cook will prepare anything that you desire. You will tell them what you want prepared and how, they will go to the store and you only pay what the grocery bill and transportation costs. I tell everyone that you can figure on $25 per day per person and that will include all your food and drinks. That is incredible especially when you taste the food. Yesi, pronounced Jessie, will make the bed and keep the villa in tip top shape. She does her job so well that most people say the rarely saw her, that it just got magically done.
What makes this property unique
Pictures are nice but anyone who has ever visited has said that they just don't do the villa justice. When you walk through the door and your greeted by the staff, music playing, the ocean sound and the margaritas, chips and salsa waiting you know your in paradise.
