Villa Pacífica is a contemporary beachfront retreat in Ranchos Estates, Punta Mita's most exclusive gated community. Designed by Mexican architect Pepe de Iturbe, this 11,000 sq ft home plays with clean lines, geometry and bold color, opening completely to the Pacific: a great room with dining for 14, a professional kitchen, a media room with Sonos and Apple TV, and an endless terrace with a 22-yard heated pool, in-water sun beds, a private hot tub and a fire pit for the evenings. Seven en-suite bedrooms for up to 16 guests: the master with king bed, private deck and indoor/outdoor showers; four more suites in the main house and two independent casitas with private courtyards and outdoor showers. The white-sand beach is steps away with private access, kayaks and paddleboards. Full staff is included in the rate: private chef with daily breakfast and lunch, butler, housekeeper with twice-daily service, concierge and property manager. Guests also enjoy Punta Mita Club privileges (golf, tennis and beach clubs, including Kupuri). Five minutes from El Anclote village and 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta airport.
