Villa Estrella Mar is truly one of Puerto Vallarta’s most extraordinary vacation homes—an unparalleled oceanfront retreat designed for guests who expect the very best. Accommodating up to 16 guests in seven uniquely designed bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, the villa offers an unforgettable blend of space, privacy, and artistry. (A possible eighth bedroom can be added for an additional fee, increasing total capacity to 18 guests - see the Carriage House Listing.)
<br>Every corner of this stunning property showcases vaulted ceilings, custom-made furnishings, and one-of-a-kind artwork collected from across Mexico and South America. The master suite level alone spans more than 4,000 square feet, boasting panoramic ocean views and private balconies that make it feel like your own private world. From the villa, you can enjoy a scenic walk along the beach straight into the Old Town/Romantic Zone.

Villa Estrella Mar sits directly on a secluded, swimmable beach, offering effortless access to the sand. Walk just a minute north and you'll enjoy the main Los Muertos Beach with dozens of restaurants and lounge chairs and the main Pier where many activities depart from. You’ll also enjoy a private heated pool, a poolside terrace bar, an exercise room, smart TVs, and complimentary WiFi throughout the property.

Your stay is elevated by a full-time staff of 13, including two English-speaking housemen, two private chefs, and two maids. From cooking and cleaning to shopping and laundry, every detail is handled for you—so you can relax, unwind, and truly feel pampered. The property includes 24-hour security, a locked compound, and security cameras at all entrances.

Villa Estrella Mar is also a spectacular venue for destination weddings—inquire for more information. Event fees may apply.

DINING AT THE VILLA - HOW MEALS WORK:
Your stay includes the services of our exceptional chefs, who will shop, prepare, cook, serve, and clean up two full meals per day at no additional service charge. You are responsible only for the actual cost of groceries, with receipts provided and no added fees.

Budgeting guidelines: Plan for approximately $40 USD per guest per day for food and beverages. This estimate may vary depending on your group’s dining preferences—costs tend to be lower for children, light eaters, or those who choose to dine out, and higher if selecting premium seafood (like lobster or shrimp) and top-shelf wines and liquor.

We recommend providing about $1,000 USD upfront to cover grocery purchases, checking in midway through the week, and settling the total at the end of your stay. All grocery payments are CASH only, as staff cannot accept cards or checks.

Breakfast is served family-style and will include fresh fruit, bacon, potatoes, and guest favorites like French toast. You may also order individual items such as omelets, yogurt parfaits, or machaca burritos.

If you choose lunch or dinner - these are served as group selections, with everyone enjoying the same main dish. The chefs are happy to accommodate dietary restrictions. Dinners can be plated, family style, or buffet style based on your preference. Dinners may feature up to four courses: appetizers, soup or salad, a main entrée, and dessert.

Sundays are the staff’s regular day off, but a generous breakfast is still served. A simpler lunch or appetizers can be arranged, and dinner is an excellent chance to explore Puerto Vallarta’s world-class dining scene. If you would like full Sunday service this can be accommodated with advance notice for a fee.

Tipping Guidelines: Tipping is optional but customary in Mexico. For exceptional service—and to ensure all members of the household staff, including those behind the scenes, are recognized—we recommend $20 USD per guest per day as a helpful guideline. Many of our guests tip over the recommended starting point.

Example:
A group of 12 guests staying 7 nights / 8 days would leave a total of $1,920 USD, which is distributed among the entire staff. The easiest method is to place the full amount in a provided envelope and give it to the head houseman to divide so that everyone, including night watchmen and support staff, receives their fair share.

Villa Estrella Mar is the finest luxury rental in Puerto Vallarta—where breathtaking design, world-class service, and unmatched oceanfront beauty come together to create the ultimate vacation escape.

    Our stay at Estrella Mar Villa was absolutely amazing. The villa itself is stunning with incredible views, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the staff.Oscar, Paco, Arturo, Tacho, and Lola were beyond attentive—always making sure we had everything we needed, often before we even thought to ask. The food and drinks they prepared were absolutely amazing, and every meal felt like a special experience. From keeping everything running smoothly to making us feel completely at ease, they went above and beyond every single day.

    There is not enough words to describe how wonderful this stay was. A group of 10 of us came to celebrate a friends milestone birthday and we were treated like royalty. The villa is even more beautiful in person if you can imagine. The beds were comfortable and there was so much variations in areas to hang out in. The staff though is what truly makes this place so special. Everyone was so very kind and attentive. You can tell they enjoy what they do and they want to ensure you love your stay. The cherry on this fabulous vacation was the food. Hats off to the chef for some incredible Vallarta style meals. We will never stop talking about that stuffed pepper. Then the key lime pie! We could go on and on. If you’re seeing this villa and review, stop what you’re doing and book it now. You will be thankful you did. That you again to the staff. We will always remember your kindness.

    Villa Estrella will go down as one of the best trips ever! From the coordination and communication with Jordan from the very beginning, all the way to the incredible team on site, everything was perfect. The house was impeccable, the food was delicious. No request went unmet. Our friends truly had the best trip ever. It was so special. Paco, Jordan, and the entire team, chefs and everyone were so kind and wonderful. We felt like royalty. Thank you!

    Extremely grateful to have my 40th birthday here. All the staff was absolutely wonderful. Jordan was very easy to communicate with. No need to stay at all inclusive hotel. The personalized service and the attentiveness of the staff was better than any resort you would find in Puerto Vallarta. Would 100% recommend staying here

    I celebrated my 60th Birthday here with my partner and 14 other friends. The entire experience was awesome and began with a welcome margarita when we arrived at the front door. The house and grounds are spectacular; they’re well maintained and very clean. We spent most of our time at the pool and Paco, the house mgr, and his team couldn’t have been more attentive, friendly and personable. The meals were delicious and consideration was given to those with food allergies. This team has it all nailed down to ensure an overall excellent experience. Disappointments? I had none, nor did my guests. I highly recommend Villa Estrella Mar.

    magnificent. the accommodations to us were much, much more than the videos we saw and the photos sent to us. Each room, entry hall, outdoors halls and sitting areas had beautiful plantings and works of art. The house is listed as 22,000 square feet, but because the outside is so much a part of the inside the square footage feels huge, giant, immense. A Mexican Mansion on the pacific. You can't judge this property based on anything less than seeing for yourself. However, without the staff and their attitude to make your stay absolutely the best the villa would be just another large house. Paco, Oscar, Lola, and all the rest of the staff could not have performed any better than a 5 star hotel, restaurant, resort, but it was a home and that is the difference. Within hours we were part of their family and they part of ours. Aside from losing a day in the beginning of our stay do to Frontier not alerting us our flight was cancelled our family started arriving a day later. Once, however, when we did arrived it was one of the most outstanding trips with the family we have ever had.

    This house is incredible. It has all the modern amenities that us gringos like, like WIFI, ceiling fans every where, iPads to control Spotify music in the whole house, individual super efficient AC units in each bedroom, yet at the same time it is built and decorated with that old Mexican Hacienda feel to it. However what really makes this place, is the staff. All of them are very friendly, attentive and very polite and engaging. There is a lot of staff around but you barely see them. When you get up, coffee is ready and they are making breakfast. While you eat, they go and clean the rooms and make the beds. When you are eating dinner in town or downstairs, they go up and clean rooms again and close all the shutters and turn A/C on for you to sleep comfortable. It is very humid in summer in Vallarta. They will make you any drink you like. They will go shop for groceries for you, always with a smile. They will call you cabs and make reservations for you, or get you an airport shuttle. Anything you need.
