Penthouse: Luxury 3BR with Ocean Views, Private Terraces & Heated Pool

Summary:

The Penthouse at Villa Amistad is our signature top-floor residence and the most spacious, view-forward apartment in the villa. Occupying the entire third floor, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath retreat combines two of our consistently 5-star-reviewed apartments into one seamless sanctuary with breathtaking Banderas Bay views, two private ocean-facing terraces, and a level of space and privacy rarely found this close to Puerto Vallarta's best dining, beaches, and nightlife.

Set within a boutique hillside villa just a short walk from the Malecón and the Romantic Zone, the Penthouse offers top-floor seclusion with effortless access to everything the city has to offer.

Perfect for families, groups of friends, or couples traveling together who want space, comfort, and an authentic Puerto Vallarta experience.
