Just a few steps from a sandy beach in lower Conchas Chinas, this terracotta-colored oceanfront villa balances tradition and comfort to stunning effect. Every space has a strong identity and features a blend of traditional materials and features alongside modern comforts and cheery decorative themes. Open plan and spacious with stunning wood beam ceilings and traditional tiled floors, the main living and kitchen area is designed to be opened up to the poolside area. When the large doors are thrown open, the two spaces seem to become one; the cool sea breeze and stunning views make the interior space feel bright and airy. Out in the pool area, the traditional orange façade contrasts beautifully with the stone paving and cool, blue waters of the private pool. This compact area becomes a sun trap at certain times of the day and with unobstructed views of the sea. It’s easy to feel that you have the sunset to yourself from the comfortable sun loungers. Throughout the Puerto Vallarta villa, decorative and hand-painted tiles are one coherent feature that can be found in every space from the kitchen to the bathrooms. This nod to the vibrant cultural and historical home design features of Mexico helps the villa to stand out and really feel at one with the surrounding area.

Living Areas Every part of this beach access Puerto Vallarta villa is designed to draw the eye and attention to the sun-drenched poolside area and it’s sweeping views of the beach and sea. Indeed, most areas, including the bedrooms, face the pool terrace and have direct access. Traditional red-orange tiles bedeck the flooring throughout the property while dark wood beams add a historically beautiful edge to the elevated spaces. Reclaimed wood decorations, soft fabrics, dark wood furnishings, and rough whitewashed walls come together in a harmonious cacophony. Not quite open plan, the fully fitted kitchen is separated from the living room by a low breakfast bar but has a view of the full space over that bar. Interior and alfresco dining spaces, both with a view, make it easy to make every dinner unforgettable.
